Emotional Daggers
I tally the numbers behind me
saddened to see and hear and know
the knife-like words ramping up
the division, the discord, and the destruction
of an admittedly flawed democracy
by haphazardly slashing and burning
instead of thoughtful retention
careful plans
not by causing irreparable harm
that will echo for generations to come.
