they march the streets
with raised fists and voices
towards the blue skies
while on the other side
elites dine on lavish plates
or play rounds of golf
drowning out the protests
on civil rights, corruption,
senseless wars, Fema failures
or lack of water

ReplyDeleteThank you, Dwight.
Delete"while on the other side"... Neither hearing nor listening over there. Well done.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Avery.
DeleteI love the contrast of those marching ‘with raised fists and voices’ and elites dining on lavish plates or playing rounds of golf’ – you tell it like it is Maria!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kim.
DeleteToo sadly accurate.
ReplyDeleteSadly, so true. Turning their backs, as always. You highlight the contrasts so well.
ReplyDeleteThis is exactly why... protests makes it necessary to listen
