She Pretends She Is a Peacemaker
Dorothy’s fabricated Pollyannaism struck me as obnoxious.
She pretends to be a pacificator at these PTA meetings.
I have seen her social media posts.
She is an avid hawk with violent words.
She loves guns and bullets.
Pretending to be a dove here.
Asking for us to vote her in as president.
Does she have the other women fooled?
Should I stand up and speak?
I catch the eye of another woman.
We do not know each other.
Our eyes roll in unison and we laugh.
I let things slide, hoping others are not fooled.
