Votes For A Puppet Show
Nick Powers
Moms behind bars,
Dads all alone.
The kids all play house
Without hands to hold.
The people are scared
You’re unaware.
They’re banning the books
You wouldn’t read.
All you can eat.
They are hungry.
Not safe in their skin–
Like missing
a piece.
Boys and their souls
Torn at the seams.
Girls and their goals
Just
out of
reach.
Things were so easy
Till you.
People were happy
Till you
Took all of their pain–
Made it your gain
With invisible chains.
