Founding Fathers

If their expressions carved in stone

could move once again,

their expressions would remain stony.

The dysfunction

we allow to continue functioning

Their gardens,

now flowering with pollution

How the flame of hatred

continues to burn

    How their caring eyes show they care

    Oh, how loved I feel

    My favorite people surround me

    Everyone chose to love me

  • Every Sense but Sight

    The clinking chain of the swing

    The sweet smell of summer

    Thundering sounds of someone throwing trash away in the distance

    The scratching sounds of my pencil

    The warm sun on my skin

    Airplane flying overhead
