Distraction Tactics

Distraction Tactics

Hey don’t let me interrupt
Your positive moment
Or get your vibe down
With all that’s going on
& Going down
Like children fallen
Dead from their own
Hands assisted
By elephants and a$$3$.

How can a poem
Compete with so many
Mass shootings that we
Are numb by the next
Live broadcast
As old news?

Movies and meditations
Are the next fix or
Netflix
Where’s my yoga?
Where’s my rights?
Oh yeah
5 seats of injustice
Stole them while
Throwing a party
On RBG’s grave
Before she was cold
In the ground.

But some channeled
BS says don’t focus
On the problem
Or the past
But in the past women
Went on strike
As one…
When will we?
Well ladies?

What if all women
All Queers
All Black
All Disaabled
All Asian
All Latinos
All Muslims
All Pagans
All disenfranchised
Americans
Went on Strike?
As ONE?

Pick one day people,
To show where
The power of the people
REALLY is.

Instead of letting
Each day pass
Paying attention
To all of the
Distraction tactics
Either theirs
Or your own.
