death of a nation

oh so many
losing the right
to stay in this country
and fight the good fight
women who married
who took the new name
we lose the privilege
as if it’s a game
force abandonment
for god knows how long
how would you feel
coming home
and it’s empty
devoid of love
that once filled up
every room
from ceiling to rug

lives destroyed
because of an insecure man
who preys on his compatriots
on women and children
because of the wrong color skin
this one man
and his many thugs
evil incarnate
deadliest of sins
this man
gladly sold his soul
who seeks only to own
everything he can get his hands on
everything that does not belong
discarded like trash
all that matters to us
america
land of the free
well…
at least we used to be
