Have Your Say

A poem from 2018

Stand up and shout
Sit on the floor and scream
Force them to listen
(In between their laughter)

You are a pumpkin
Hollowed out
A permanent grimace
The light extinguished

Build The Wall!

A poem from 2018

Build the wall!
Shout aloud
Put your hands over your ears
Build the wall!

Build the wall!
Rehearse arguments
Choose you friends unwisely
Build the wall!

Build the wall!
Bricks so high
Block out the sky
Build the wall!

Build the wall!
Wide eyed fanaticism
Angry heart and mind
Build the wall!
Build the wall!
Build the wall!

Us and Them

A poem from 2018

Us is good, Them is bad
Us is healthy, Them is sick
Us is delicious, Them is vicious
Us is love, Them is hate
Us is polite, Them is rude
Us is loving, Them is nasty
Us is pretty, Them is ugly
Us is sane, Them is mad

Us is Us, Them is Them
Them is Us, Us is Them
Us is bad, Us is sick
Us is vicious, Us is hate
Us is rude, Us is nasty
Us is ugly, Us is mad

Us is Them, it’s all Them’s fault
Them is what is wrong with the world
Us is what is wrong with the world
Remove Them and Us will be happy
Them makes Us miserable
Them is Us, Us is Them
