#Poetry Kenosha

The happenings of these past few weeks have been rolling around in my head. I've come up with two poems, both still raw, but this one seems about done...

Kenosha
​Cradle the weapon and sing
 a lullaby, my son
The way I taught you when you were young,
before you were able
to read the words bullet and gun.
Sing of great America, my son. 
I will take you 
Where cities burn and chaos runs.
Put on your hat, I will bring you, come.
See? The man on the corner
Wields a sign.
an anarchist, a terrorist, a crime.
Aim and fire. See
how easily he crumbles and falls, my son.
Aim and fire, see 
How easily they crumble and fall, my son
You will be surprised by how they weep, my son.
They crumble and wail at what you have done.

Cradle your weapon and sing, my son
 a lullaby, a lullaby, 
a goodbye America
as she grieves what we’ve done. 
As America mourns her children, my son.

Appreciate you reading and sharing your story since I can certainly relate and I think others can to

'Dream your dreams about what YOU
want to do in Heaven; dare to ask for
the impossible and all the gifts YOU
have ever wanted from Me. Expect Me
to hear YOU and fulfill your every desire'

Gabrielle Bossi, translated)•
