Whitney Foley Poet Political Verse

America

For one second... Say you had a family member shot and killed in the middle of 5th Avenue...... You would be devastated and rightfully hurt..... Now comes the murder trial of the man who killed your family member.... You then notice the jurors being brought in.... Smiling winking and giving a thumbs up to the murderer... Now you find out that the murderers attorney's and the murder are working together to get a not guilty plea for the murderer... What is your response?


Now replace a few words and read it again
family member - Constitution
murderer - Donald J Trump
juror - Mitch McConnell and GOP Senate/Congress

I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist,and I’d love to discuss the possibility of bringing this poem to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : [email protected]
