When a child must explain
Truth and Science
To world leaders.
When our President
Mocks those who are disabled,
Or foreign,
Or female.
When elected officials
Refuse to work together
To stop school shootings
Because they fear the NRA.
When black parents
Across the country
Must tell their sons
To keep their hands up
And say “Yes, Sir”
No matter what.
When a family must choose
Between food and medicine.
When schools rely
On bake sale funding.
When it is necessary to lobby
For a “living wage”.
(Translation: Millions of Americans
Earn a “dying wage”.)
It would be easy to go on.
America is burning.
Lay the fiddles down.
