NAPOWRIMO Emotional Daggers April 27, 2025


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.
