After sunrise

 

source

Bright sun exposes everything.
Fascism spreads terror city by city.
Fascism creates its necessary villains and then strikes
Democrats, immigrants, children of immigrants.
 
Bright sun exposes everything.
Cities keep on living around the terror.
Bystanders witness and make noise
that resounds in the canyons of minds.
 
Bright sun exposes everything.
Maple leaves change from green to yellow
and drift down to where late tomatoes grow
and to the green grounds around safety zones.

  1. I love this. I often ponder the man made chaos and cruelty, while Mother Earth keeps going through her cycles, offering a garden we are too distracted to enjoy. Sigh. Wonderfully said, Susan.
