Football is back in the NFL,
Quenching a thirst in a sports dry spell.
Big Ten brought back their guns,
Returning football next month.
Trump v. Biden has been floated to Rogan
While the Taylor’s were paid for Breonna’s murder.
All of these things came and they went
Throughout the week that much the time spent
Wondering with whom TikTok would fall
Only to find there’d be no TikTok at all.
Justice
8.28.20 – March in August
March in August
March in May
March until they hear you say
“We will march
Up to the day
We are seen
In the same way
As those before
Who went and came
Who earned respect
Unto their names”
Today we march
To be the same
We march in August
We march in May
7.21.20 – Portland Pandemonium
Portland, Org.
Is caught in a storm
Born from the fronts met
Between the State and the Feds.
Trump protects monuments
While we protect ourselves.
7.14.20 – Execution by Decision
Daniel Lee Lewis
Was sentenced to death
By the US:
His mortal bequest.
After 17 years
Of being death-free
The greatest country adheres
To their deathless story.
6.18.20 – Aunt Jemima
No space is safe
From anti-racism reform.
Even syrup
Cannot escape new norms.
Statues are stampeded
And Wendy’s are burned.
What industry next
Will suffer a storm?
6.12.20 – CSA Has Fallen
The Confederate States–
Made in name to oppose
The US of A—
Is toppled by the very folks
That they suppos’d
Were less than white.
6.2.20 – Up Your Arsenal
The Dear Leader’s pledge
To unleash military
Is fucking stupid.
6.1.20 – Palpitations
The Nation’s heart: it tremors
In convulsing, pulsing manners
That echo the boots of broken men
And the rhetoric of the liars.
5.20.20 – Virtual Death IRL
Singapore
Virtually
Put to death
A man who
Dealt drugs.
This Is Just to Say
