Poem in the night

So much to say

These days

It’s a flood

It’s a fire

It’s a storm

Always someone being harmed

Never stopping

On display

Kids have a lotta hate these days

It’s a pandemic

It’s poverty

EVERYONE is poor like me

It’s rhetoric

It’s violence

It’s tons of tricks they play on us. 

Fuck the government,

Fuck TV 

Fuck normalcy

And society

It’s up to us to burn it down

While these old men are still around.

Love who you can 

And hug a tree

Be as light as you can be

The power is ours if we can claim it

Before the systems have a chance to break it.
