Trump is Like Oxygen
What if he's like
the mask an airplane
lets down in the event
of a looming catastrophe
dispensing
vital oxygen? What if we
are oblivious to the
rescue offered?
We push away this
sustaining substance
because we find
the equipment’s
delivery system
(yellow plastic held by elastic)
unpalatable.
We prefer
to suffocate as we crash
to the tune of foreign,
unfamiliar
calls to worship crying out
to a god we
do not know while our
own remains uninvited. This
(anthem parenthesis)
cocoons angry women
who in tender
moments administer rituals
to initiate each other
into wearing modesty
by way of
hijab - draping
our American flag
around their heads
and necks as a symbol -
consenting, ironically,
and (un)knowingly
to sharia law.
I'm going out on a limb (naked) by writing this - because I'm disturbed to my core. The core I didn't even know I had! I did not vote out of discouragement and hopelessness. After some digging, I'm wishing I had voted for Trump after all. Hate me too, if you will.
I'm confused with the hatred toward him and the hatred displayed by the women's marches.
