I Am So Sick
“There was a respected powerful man
Being mean with a reckless hand”
– John Trudell

45’s racism is as transparent
As the slat wall he wants
To keep the epidermisly
Darker than him
Bipedal earthling artists
On the other side
I am so sick
Of this wall discussion
It is beneath us
Oh wait
That is the tunnel
Underneath it
Hopefully
I’ll get over it
Just have to
Work through it
Till we all realize
We are all on
The same spaceship
Is that so f’n difficult?
Our only border
Protecting all of us
Is that eggshell
Fragile atmosphere
That sees
What is happening
Patience wearing thin
Must need remember
“It’s just a ride. And we can change it anytime we want. It’s only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings and money. A choice, right now, between fear and love.
The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love, instead, see all of us as one.
Here’s what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride. Take all that money that we spend on weapons and defenses each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace.”
