milo these prompts seem to be all running together for me lately... so here's a political bitching rant. ;D I might work on this one more later, I like it well enough as a first draft.
An open letter to the US of A
I’ve broken through your borders many times
escaping your inner turmoil
which stinks like a bad case of dysentery.
But no matter what continent welcomes me
I live in the shadow of your political agenda
as my hosts look to me for explanations
of your incomprehensible deeds.
My blue passport does not make me interested
in the actions of you, politicians,
who scrape the earth down to bedrock
licking your dirtied fingers for any bit of profit
you can absorb into your champagned web.
Your blue words, red acts and unceasing bickering
don’t represent me; stop proclaiming that they do.
