Edward Ibeh Poet Acrostic

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
