Broken
broken clocks thrown into a pile
is it that easily to crucify and nullify 2020?
broken down people thrown out of houses
with children in pajamas
broken hearts, broken legs, broken backs.
we worked so hard to get here,
but our jobs are gone, our old ones are dying
is the system broken?
broken beyond belief?
or only a teensy tiny bit broken?
broken people, chanting their mantra,
half for one, half for the other; country broken.
