I've traveled to far regions
where citizens practiced open treason,
but I live in a place where our voted
appointed leader
doesn't respect the best interest of all people;
I've known oceans;
to gather strength while
politicians watch with amazement and
false devotion;
calling for emergency evacuations
not realizing all folks don't
live the same situation;
some gathered in tracks and journeyed deep
into the earth's crust,
while others stuck it out,
thinking their flesh was too tough
to get touched by
