Our Banner in the Skies, Frederic Edwin Church, 1861: symbolic painting after the attack on Fort Sumter during the American Civil War

POETRY

Civil War of 2020

About our country in crisis

When they write this in history books
The war that we fought this term:
This unprecedented, unpresidented period
that somehow has the influenza pandemic,

The Great Depression, and the Civil Rights riots
All mixed in one. When they write
About this
Looking at the videos, the audio, the pictures that we have collectively
Collected
Documented

They will say that our Psychopath of the US
POTUS
Tried to start a war with Mexico, with China, at times, confusingly, with
North Korea and Russia.

But the only war he started was with America.
It’s black Americans against Trump
Women Americans against Trump
POC Americans against Trump
LGBT Americans against Trump
Kathy Griffin against Trump.
Democrats against Trump
Republicans against Trump
