Irritated
by childish tweets
courtesy of the commander in chief
Frustrated
by the “news”
When monopoly controls the sources
And what journalists can say
Sick
as women and children
become negligible casualties
of the patriarchy
Tired
as black, brown, red
And lgbtq lives
Still struggle
to prove
they matter
Helpless
as lives become subject
to the terror on target
Suspicious
as IT produces
what anonymous faces
Think we should see
Eager
to spark light
And climb out of the dark
Of this Orwellian American dream
