THE WHAT OF IT
What time is it
What day
What week
What month
Sometimes hard to tell
The exact moment
We arrived
Or when we will leave
Or when we will be
Escorted out
Banned
Jailed
Separated from our Mom
What is going on
Who is in charge
Is the complaint department
Closed
The door locked
I was already feeling shame
When I saw the flag
But now…
I don’t want to see it at all
Will someone grow a pair
Someone in the “family values” party
What is happening is a disgrace
So, what do you say about the “what of it”

What is going on is just horrendous. This morphs from universal questioning to something particular and timely–chilling. Thanks. k.

This is a terrible situation. He was an Obama hater, a lot are. They determined to destroy every thing with the Obama name or any of his compassionate work with ISIS like ferocity.

Sadly in the US you have a voting system which is not entirely fair in that you don’t get a majority decision except from those that voted which can be as low as 50% of those eligible. In Australia it is different if you are regisrered to vote you must do so or be fined! Even hospitals have voting booths! Better luck next time!
Someone needs to grow a pair indeed. I absolutely never thought I would see such things in North America. And they consider themselves a Christian government. God help us all. Putting kids in detention centres is appalling. I read one “official” took a nursing one year old right off her mother’s breast. Who is looking after that baby? I do not understand how this can go on. Why is government so silent? Why does he get away with what no one else on the planet would? Well, this is a rant. But your poem really nails it. Children in cages. Unbelievable. Yet true.
Seems we were thinking along the same lines. What a nightmare. Well done, Annell.
Thanks for your comment.
