Edward Ibeh Poet Sijo

So, Let Me Get This Straight

America is known as "the land of the free", am I right?
People free to own weapons of war crazies use in mass shootings
Women free to make decisions about their bodies. Oh wait...

Elizabeth Mccann November 18, 2022 at 2:54 AM That "Oh, wait.." is placed so perfectly. We think we have progressed, worked things out, then along come the bully boys, and even more shameful, girls! Elizabeth
