Unethical

Today America held its breath.

I am worth the pennies of projectiles
Am and left with less reproductive rights
Than bacteria on a politician's thumbprint

It is not to agonize, but to organize 
But there is nothing good
About an extremist

I am not alive
in the nine's eyes.

Note: I've composed this poem in under five minutes. May every keyboard stroke be etched in anger. This is not a good poem, but why should I put thought into my poetry about thoughtless laws?
I apologize.

  • What If She Said

    And what if I asked her the question?
    What if I asked the thing that plagued the mind
    If I coughed out the sentence that would kill her
    And it engulfed her with a pain sharp as a scalpel
    And she laughed until stitches sewed her mouth
  • Alicia Keys

    At night it crusts my eyes
    She breaths out tendrils that snake in and seek out
    For.a year and a half it burned in the third degree
    Her name means "inferno" and yet still
    She riddles my heart with soot
