Brennan Whaley Poet Rhyme

Hope Is For The Dumb

At least I’m not alone

At least I have friends by my side

But what do we do

When the silence is the kind shared when somebody has died

I hear celebrations

I read the words of people I can only assume have no love in their lives

and though nobody has truly died

A loss is being experienced

For it hurts

When you realize the country you love

Doesn’t love you back

They call it the land of the free

But I guess those freedoms shouldn’t apply to people like me

And so I process this loss

Yet I sit and just feel numb

Because I should’ve seen this coming

Because hope is for the dumb

Brennan Whaley November 8, 2024 at 6:43 AM Yes, I felt very hurt yesterday. the genocide in Palestine is evil, and I feel evil is still too light a word to use for it.
