United We Stand

Posted by 2garrabrants

Enemies unite

when faced with a common foe.

Gravestones righted; bigots fall.

~

Humanity shared

rights wrongs perpetuated

by all bigots everywhere.

What We Want

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

Could it be that we’re

looking for leadership in

all the wrong places?

~

Perhaps leadership

isn’t what we’re looking for

when we select our leaders.

Self Made Nation

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

How does a nation,

cowering behind its walls,

differ from a prisoner?

~

Such a nation is

truly a prisoner of

its own making.

Huddled Safe Inside

Posted by 2garrabrants

Do walls keep all that’s

new out so that the old can

pretend nothing’s changed?

~

They build parapets

so they can deny their fear

of open societies.

An Immigrant Afraid

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

If he’s too afraid

to buy a cup of coffee,

how’s this the land of the free?

~

We must not forget

our immigrant ancestors

came here to thrive and be free.

Let It Ride

Posted by 2garrabrants

When governing proves

hard, is turning to twitter

and golf the best he can do?

~

He’ll just double down,

like he has so many times.

Time to call his bluff.

A Work In Progress

What can parents do

when children don’t do homework

and teachers begin to gripe?

~

I guess you begin

with who’s the grown-up in the

room and go from there.

Precious Metaler

Leap before you look

seems to be our president’s

momentous reframe.

~

Why should he bother;

with his golden parachute

and silver boot in his mouth?

Hot Air Chills

Posted by 2garrabrants

As days grow longer;

vacillate ‘tween hot and cold,

what but flowers grow confused?

~

The whole planet knows

something’s up except for those

whose motto is “deny and die”.

America The Apathetic

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

What if we took all

the words of “America

the Beautiful” to heart?

~

What if we even

bothered to remember more

than first verse and the refrain?
