THE TREE OF...

They shake the tree,
fruits of their labor,
and the apples fall free.

Those with free hands,
any woman or man
who blindly take a stand
to make it great again.

Watering it again
with an "us against them",
watching the truth bend
with a text and hit send.

Gathered around the tree
to the hiss of democracy
and fair trade as the
candidate parades,
handing out apples
with razorblades.
