Necklace

A necklace clasped around an open throat
A baby crying in a crib not their own
A child vying to become president

We live in a time that is more fragile than the people living in it

Impolite pursuit of an agenda lost on opaque words
Incandescent idolatry illuminating ignorance
Inexplicable support of a killing brand

We fall in a line created by intangible audible tragedies

Making America great again
Making America hate, and then
My country full of heroes metamorphs into a country full of zeros

We look for treasure in a house of goose eggs because we are unaware of what it is like outside

Unfortunately we cannot quarantine the insane
Under disguised rocket silos
Ultimately sending unintelligible bigots into space

We count sheep to help us sleep and sheep count on blathering bile to lead us into dithering extinction

How tidy men awaken unkempt bears.
