    1. It was written in 2007 but I agree that it speaks to this moment in time.

  5. Such a powerful poem. Let's hope we can re-boot this country before all is lost.

  6. A powerful choice, and honestly it fits the mood of the moment perfectly. Sometimes poetry names things we struggle to say out loud.
