They’re shooting nurses now
Justifying murder with lies
Gentle souls in scrubs must be restrained
by tear gas and zip ties...

Thou shalt not kill.
But she did not comply
fast enough.
Fucking bitch.

You, If No One Else By #TinoVillanueva.
Listen, you
who transformed your anguish
into healthy awareness,
put your voice
where your memory is.
You who swallowed
the afternoon dust,
defend everything you understand
with words.
You, if no one else,
will condemn with your tongue
the erosion each disappointment brings.
You, who saw the images
of disgust growing,
will understand how time
devours the destitute;
you, who gave yourself
your own commandments,
know better than anyone
why you turned your back
on your town's toughest limits.
Don't hush,
don't throw away
the most persistent truth,
as our hard-headed brethren
sometimes do.
Remember well
what your life was like: cloudiness,
and slick mud
after a drizzle;
flimsy windows the wind
kept rattling
in winter, and that
unheated slab dwelling
where coldness crawled
up in your clothes.
Tell how you were able to come
to this point, to unbar
History's doors
to see your early years,
your people, the others.
Name the way
rebellion's calm spirit has served you,
and how you came
to unlearn the lessons
of that teacher,
your land's omnipotent defiler.
Remember how,
from the first emptiness,
you started saving yourself,
and ask yourself what,
after all,
these words are good for
in this round hour now
where your voice strikes time.

Drop anchor
Port of last resort
ICE officer
Woke up in the morning,
from dreams of the way I was,
or never was.
...
From my window I see stormy skies...

It was the right time,
but not out of time,
to never give up on
our declaration of who we were,
and always would be.
It was the best of times
and the hardest of times...

Let’s give each other a rose —
A symbol of love —
To remember what we’re worth
In a world that’s falling apart...

Safe harbor, so far away,
but not where we are.
In our life raft,
rowing to survive
Surrounded by
Great white sharks...
