The Political

In these days, it’s impossible to write
About anything other than politics,
As Trump dismantles a republic with
His tech bro acolyte, and the rest of
The world looks on helplessly.

This rumble of fascism nears the point
Of being irreversible, when the cancer
Of it will envelop everything, and no
Freedoms at all will survive. And all
We will be allowed to write is harmless
Love poetry.

The thing is – all political poetry is love
Poetry, love for the common good,
Love of the good, this never-ending
Struggle.
