Breaking

A Poem by Destiny

A poem about the current administration

I thought it was novel
waking up to the news
of more horrors of remodel
what else did we lose?
It repeats day after day
the same pit in my stomach
Tells me not to obey

New contractors step in
and do too much
or not nearly enough
the support beam splinters under his punch
and everyone freezes
except for the foreman
He breaks what he pleases

But the foundation is the problem
the bison
then the crows
the does had already known

The first boot crushed
the dandelion whose wishes
flew away in the wind
and with it went the riches
in the coats on light-skin

there is no price for a life
and no gold in the creeks
only the Earth
has the right to speak
of what she is worth
And their buyout is weak
