The Worst | Brad Constantine

After many years on this earth
I’m outraged that we are
Still the type of nation where
Spineless leaders cower at
The feet of degenerates who
Want to destroy other souls
Just because of the color of their skin
Or the origins of their families,
That we still have so few voices in
One of our major parties
Willing to stand up for the weakest
Among us rather than doing the bidding
Of the worst elements of our society
Shame on all of them for not
Defending our democracy

Confetti | Ann Christine Tabaka

Paper snow
on the floor
shredded dreams
that used to be my poems
words spill onto pages
only to fly off
looking for cohesion
searching for a theme
day after day
frustration reigns
as the ritual repeats itself
a line here a phrase there
then all is lost
and once again
confetti festoons my world
