worst words






my yard signs were born from grief
february 2018
nra defended it's stance on 
bigger badder shineier assault like rifles
i took my stand 
parkland high gave us
more dead school children

my words were few
a simple opinion
a message of war

NRA SEZ OK
TO
KILL KIDS

i had made my stand
public knowledge
tempers flared
threats of violence
threats of arrest soon followed
i had declared war on MAGA 
on RACISM
on TRUMP
on FASCISM

several became 10s
10s became 100s
100s became my cause
1000s became 
hope for change

todays sign 
is the worst message
in almost 7 years
this sign will live until
i decide otherwise

we have become
chronically ignorant
rather than informed
the kool aid flows freely
flags wave 
everyone is a fukin hero 
not
we have cheapened our lives
we have witnessed the
best we will ever be

democracy has been 
hung out to dry

todays sign
is the worst 
yet






fight for freedom
fight for peace
