Sign of the Times - Updated

Striking teachers demanding higher pay Immigration hiccups giving "dreamers" a migraine Gun violence perennially choking America's throat Numerous scandals plaguing Washington politicians Outspoken Black Lives Matter activists take to the streets Foaming at the mouth with righteous indignation The "Me, too" movement explodes like powder keg Haunting and crushing sexual predators like bugs under a shoe Endless wave of police brutality stealing African-American lives Terrorism, foreign and domestic, rearing its ugly head Increased security at airports, but not at schools. Go figure. Massively spreading, deadly Covid-19. The horror! The horror! Employees at The White House evaporating like morning mist Shameless, daily lies and assault on the media by you know who Sign Of The Times Poetry Contest/Winner(3rd Place) Sponsored by John Hamilton Date written and posted: 04/25/2018
