Day and Dawn
the time is here
Begone, go away, bye-bye,
please disappear
Cages and lies
promoted by hate
when it came to power
like greed—a refusal to abdicate
Neglect and diminish
the toll they wrought
we never endorsed
to take away our shot
Tropes and traditions
hopes and truths
we live in those moments
that’s never, ever been smooth
We plan, we play,
we love and hate
but in the dark
we congregate
Rise and behold
facts and choices do figure
in every sense, every city
consequences, like votes, do deliver.
