1.
Then if you must go
please do
without a fuss
And remember
no more helmet
no more short bus
For where you are going
there is not a man
Who can't think for himself
or walk on two hands

A remarkable revolt for the ragged
An independent declare declared
A cherry tree killer
an emminent explosive expansion
co-ordinated co-operative
Lewis & Clark and Sacagawea the Shoshone
imminent infamous Indian Wars
Manifest Destiny held motionless by mountains

Hungry.
Thirsty.
Thoughtless.
My paws thickened by the pounding of pavement
Rabid for truth
But I remain toic and poised

The truth is deeper in the rabbit hole
Painful
Yet palatable

Some things are just better left unsaid
The trail of tears, the dead
We can't continue to blame the past
Best friend killed
Shot gun blast
Some things are just better left unsaid

nor can you, right all the wrongs
starts to sound like the same old song

They are all disconnected
The living dead
Faces in screens
The forgot how to listen to
Thier hearts
Thier dreams
Thier children
They forgot how to respect
The water
The land
The animals
Each other
They forgot how to listen
Faces in screens
The living dead
They're all disconnected

She hates biology
Under microbes of stress
