**sigh**
What else can I say?
To watch a slow moving coup,
so slow that people don’t notice it.
It creeps behind perceptions,
behind Confederate flags,
while people of color
are killed while:
buying a pack of cigarettes,
or being gay,
and not even accountants
eating ice cream are safe.
I’ve cried in rage
when George Floyd died,
and remained silent,
peacefully workin’
for the minimum wage,
With no freedom or means
to shelter from Covid.
Twenty-five states
restrict BLM protest,
while white people sack
Congress
Makin’ me ask,
Is humanity truly so worthless?
The answer keeps sayin’ ‘yes’,
and so I’ve
“shut the fuck up”,
no one is listening….
