This poem comes from a new collection I’m working on, titled DEMOCKERY TIME IN COVAXICA. Enjoy!
AGENDA
this “public” police
let’s defund their guns
then hire security
to protect private fun
defund the precincts
abandon the posts
our gated communities
will pay out the most
no more cop unions
or body-cam scenes
just private security
to muffle the screams
their eyes will not see this
as rage pulls them down
while they swing at ghosts
we strengthen the crown
