Dear America

in #poetry8 years ago (edited)

Your issues are deep and many
We, the small people, fear for you

Your wounds are filled with pus
Mistrust, brutality, bullying have corrupted your ethos
Your nightmare is no longer on elm street
Your pain festers beyond your dreams
Beyond your borders
Exposing the world to your vulnerability
And like humpty dumpty,
you fight to put it together again.

But, there's no glue
Just unjust and a hate rush
Strangled stars
And coal hearts.
