you got some kinda fucked up system

I just don’t get it

caging all the children

men get sent to prisons 

and…wait…where are all the women?

they just disappear

& nobody seems to hear from them

that silence…is ominous 

especially when you consider…

there’s a predator parked in the oval office

& about that…

by your same sick sense of justice…

when are your wife & kid going back?

she…at least…wasn’t born here

& he was born of her

they qualify as immigrants…by your definition 

isn’t that the BS rhetoric you’re shoveling?

ya know what, let’s take that even further

all those folk you white men shoved onto reservations…

they’re the only ones who technically belong

you…you come from a long line of abusers…

& enslavers…

some claim to fame, huh?

but what else are you good for?

they’re not people to you

only commodities…things you can use

making a grab for the treasury

padding yourself a throne…on land you stole

made of our blood & our bones

dividing & destroying families

so you can sit fat…as a happy dictator

& what hurts the worst isn’t your treachery

it’s the betrayal…

of every single douche canoe who supports you

cheering at your greed & hypocrisy 

all for what?

because you validate their own hate

a country stolen & corrupted from day one

by…white…men…& their little guns

look around…

you’re far outnumbered…

& isn’t that what this is really about?

you’re frightened

so you make thinking & compassion illegal

knowing full well…

those values will never apply to you

but this is the beginning of your demise

watch as the oppressed defiantly rise

you…with your “let them eat cake” mentality

look how that scenario ended 

keep counting…commander in thief

your reign is going to be overthrown

because we the people…

are so fucking done

  1. Mic Drop! Preach, Willow, preach. Facts!! Into the book it belongs! Profoundly detailed assessment on how fucked up this whole situation is my friend. Felt this, gave me goosebumps! Appreciate you.

    • I had a moment. Followed by a rant. And this piece grew from that space. I can’t ignore it. Also can’t do anything about it. But letting go of hope just doesn’t feel right. Thank you, my friend

  2. It scares me what’s going on. When the people really find out everything I believe it’s gonna be ugly. I don’t understand his supporters. Honestly I tried to understand but this is something right out of a brain washed cult. Don’t know how or even when this nightmare ends, but it’s clear the damage is already done.

    • They’ll do as much damage as they can before it’s over. More than we can probably imagine. It’s terrifying. I’ve never understood his supporters. Somehow trying to feels…slimy & corrosive. I keep a close eye on it & a closer eye on my loved ones. We’re gonna need each other a great deal in days to come. Thank you, my friend

  3. The average American doesn’t even know how many females goes missing every year here in America. Where are all of these women? You don’t have to worry about the country, the universe has a way of resetting all wrongs. A country that blurs it’s divisions of government soon ceases to be a country. Allies have realigned and signed new trade agreements as overpriced food here rots in the fields. Great piece Lady

    • I don’t for a moment believe it’s a coincidence that the traffickers are now in full control of the country. Barely hiding their actions and blowing smoke up idiot asses at every turn. I’m filling my drafts folder with protests and anger. And no small amount of fear. It is strangely satisfying watching other countries turn away. The fool already bankrupted 6 companies, why not a country? Ugh… Thank you. I always enjoy your comments
