…firecracker people are dangerous!

They’re biblical
and cyclical.
These dictators
aren’t whimsical.

They’re here to play
their firey balls
yet they are just
Neanderthals.

You must beware!
Retribution!
It’s what they see
as solution.

Mothers, worry.
Fathers, unite.
This ugly time
Isn’t left/right.

NOTE: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! What the hell is happening and why, as a woman, a poet, a creative…do I feel so powerless? It’s not fair!
