This is my response to the news of Donald Trump's plan to suspend the

"conflict minerals" Dodd-Frank law passed in 2010. Such minerals are used in the

manufacturing of our electronic devices.

For these mineral rich warlords, rape is weapon of choice.

Touch that screen Touch that scream Can you hear Can't you hear The women scream It's the hand on the pussy Of a beauty queen So quiet Does she purr Beautiful machine It's not a purr Not a purr It's a scream I do here I do hear I am listening I am Dodd-Frankly my dear He don't give a damn

Very compelling poem, Maureen. I thought I knew all the politricks he was doing, but this one got by me. Ty for dropping the knowledge, dear. I would categorize this poem as a Dramatic Monologue, that's just my opinion. I love the truth-telling poems the best. This is top-notch poetry, no doubt about it. Love it. Much love and hugs to you, lady.
