Song of Defiance

Defiance reared its might
Opposing misogynistic
Narcissistic
Childish tantrums
A malignancy uprooting civil liberties
Dividing communities
Families
Friends
Forging factions of divergent citizens
Defeated . . . defeat
We panicked
Joining forces
A multitude of cultures
Concerned voices
Singed defiance
Of new rule and executive orders
It’s been a rough 100 days
Mr. President
Now it’s your turn to panic
