political love poem

 

America

The Land of Cowboys, Still

 

Where gunslinging heroes

face off over potatoes

and the NRA tweets

“Good guys with guns

Stop bad guys with guns”

with no one asking

why guys are bringing guns to the supermarket,

 

where, right after freedom is halved in 2022,

Independence Day is celebrated

in the only fitting way possible,

with a gunman taking down 6 people

amid the soundscape of fireworks,

 

where a child crosses borders for an abortion

and an article weighs the pros and cons of giving birth at 10,

without a word expressing horror

that a kid got pregnant in the first place - 

miraculous births are not a thing today you know,

and so we draw only one conclusion

about America’s preferred form of birth control - 

 

Women, just keep giving birth

Our cowboys will help to keep the population down.
