Poetry Where You Live: 07/04/2021

Scars cut across their faces

Jarring, catching my attention,

their random swipes, the gashes;

The motion of our highlighters,

the pens we were given,

looking for counterfeits.

Scars cut across their faces,

deep wounds, crazy mascara;

Grant with eyes like Pris,

the replicant from Blade Runner.

Lines drawn across their faces

like writing in your Bible;

Slashing the presidents, Franklin,

the bills an unwilling canvas,

looking for counterfeits.

#Dancing in her #Giggle #Feet – v3

Almost perfect, eternal,

the bright smile of her daughter;

Turning, spinning out of control,

Dancing in the store aisles,

Dancing in her giggle feet.

A change so quickly,

A cloud descending,

crying, stomping her feet;

A sudden meltdown,

a moment complete.

A snack, another turning,

A big smile shining,

a return of giggle feet;

Turning, laughing,

dancing in her seat.

The Terror will only get louder

Unless the indictments come,

unless the genie is put back in the bottle

Pandora’s Box wide open, the violence,

the Terror will only get louder;

The criminals will be emboldened,

their enablers within the gate.

They are just getting started;

The conspiracy continues;

January 6^th was a moment, their Concord,

the Insurrection, the militias,

those who follow QAnon,

the MAGA army, still on the march.

If you don’t believe me,

just ask them; they will tell you;

They are not hiding, in secret,

their contempt, their distrust,

of our democratic institutions;

They are saying it all out loud.

They are just getting started;

The conspiracy continues;

Courts, law enforcement,

the Deep State all penetrated;

They don’t even trust one another,

wrapped in endless conspiracy theories.

Unless the indictments come,

until they are all brought to justice,

Defendants as at Nuremberg,

placed in the dock, the seat of justice,

the Terror will only get louder,

assassinations, murders will follow;

There will be blood in the street.

They are just getting started

January 6^th a moment, their Concord,

the Insurrection, the militias,

those who follow QAnon,

the MAGA army.

If you don’t believe me,

just ask them; they will tell you;

they are not hiding, in secret,

their contempt, their distrust

of our democratic institutions.

They are just getting started,

the conspiracy continues,

courts, law enforcement,

the deep state penetrated;

they don’t even trust themselves.
