New Poem: Not Giving Way

big old dinosaurs stomp and roar
yellow orange President
wants to re-persecute immigrants
to further harden hearts without minds
maintenance man from recent past
talks of circular firing squad
almost 18 months before election
House mother tells young daughter
I’m not ready to advance your ideas
just wait your turn, stay patient
then a few years later,
I’ll think about it and say no
>
hey reasonable dispassionate Democrats
the middle of the political road
will lead to the barbed-wire ditch
and re-elections and rationalizations
and third-party scapegoating
>
I don’t want to live through this again
