A letter to ICE

Pledge your life to liberty and justice,

raise your hand and take an oath to serve and protect,

who are you protecting though?

 

I watch the news and see agents hurting the innocent,

children,

our people.

 

Pleading self defense at a trial that will never happen because you're just another weapon the government wants to protect,

tell the reporters you were in danger,

were you?

or are you the danger.

 

Is it life or death for the ICE agents when the people protest against you?

Or is it life or death for them?

the people are sacrificing their lives to make a difference,

using their voices as weapons against the government,

but we are being silenced with firearms.

 

Renee had a family,

Alex saved lives,

and you took theirs.

 

You get to go home to your family tonight,

have a nice dinner with your government salary,

but when you turn the TV on and watch the news I hope they haunt you.

 

Sincerely,

We The People.

  • Whispers of a home

    I hear the tick of a clock letting me know every second I am wasting as I scroll through my phone,

    the slide of my finger against the screen,

    the tap of my thumb as I message someone back,

    artificial noise.

     

  • A child in Spring

    Some where there is a child jumping in new puddles,

    playing in the soft mud of the Earth,

    full of joy.

     

    Some where a child picks springs new dandelions,

    blowing on the fluffy seeds to make wishes.

  • You deserve to be happy

    I want to make someone happy that destroyed my soul,

    I want to make them feel,

    they deserve to be happy,

    and not think the entire world is against them,

    because I'm not.

     

    They broke me,
