last couple days staring at a blank screen
attempting to wish words into being
at what i was seeing and its meaning
for we turn it all off and go to bed
wake up the next day to 17 dead
and democracy falls for 13 Reds
for the cursor blinks and the sky goes dark
guess mental health seems like a jolly lark
and what words can i scribe to heal my tribe
the land of my birth have you had enough?
