Red.
how can we escape
as we watch this world
burn --
body after body
hurled into the shadows as if
they mean
nothing
to us
hades
you must relish seeing
our comrades
plunge into your nadir
suffering
suffocating
how much more
steel
can the flesh of
our brothers and sisters
endure before they
br|eak
and how terrible
that the stripes of
our country
must be
red and white
america, until you see
all this red
our friends will continue to beg
please
officer
don't shoot
as we watch this world
burn --
body after body

they mean
nothing

hades

plunge into your nadir
suffering
