Consistent

A Poem

Sometimes I think God

Why did you send me here Here to this world on fire

Here to this the end this time Not like the other the ends but this

Could be the real end, the it, the big one, the last We have seen so many lasts come and go

Extinctions upon extinctions Dinosaurs, birds, bees

Flowers, women, trees This might be the it of it all

Civil war 3 or whatever they are calling it Is here because white supremacy can’t just die

It has to gasp and grasp and show out It has to rally and riot

It has to put boots on necks and hold MAGA rallies On sacred days

It has to spit in the faces of children And then maybe eventually

After all of this It can topple like

A confederate war monument Like a slave holder hero

Like christopher look what i found it’s mine columbus Into the lake, river, water, ocean, depth to

Discover what they have always actually discovered all along Their own insignificance, their own nothingness, the bottom, the void

Combine this with hurricanes and locusts and dry earth and dust Combine this with misogyny hurled in the name of progress in the name of

Every social movement is okay with misogyny in the name of denying Women voice and body is an age old tactic of every oppressor but now

It is cool and trendy and if you call it out Watch out

Combine this with kids graduating into chaos Combine this with rights disappearing in a headline

Then scrolled past Then another

Then scrolled past Combine this with the all lives matter crowd unless it is a pandemic and they

want a haircut Combine this with people in this nation

Going hungry being homeless having no health care Combine this with the global versions of that

And this is and just might be the last of the last After all

What have we done to earn another chance? To those protesting to those being consistent

In their objections to all oppressions to those Saying no to racism as well as no to misogyny as well as

No to capitalism as well as no to exploitation in all forms Thank you for being out there

Trying to save what’s left
