see that news person crying in the corner
he was fired for dubious ethical decisions
and he tried to keep his even more dubious brother in power
now he cries ice cubes like a penguin in a Bugs Bunny cartoon
wailing about the big comedown of working for NewsNation
oh I’ll never again be Number One, he despairs
then a smile breaks through the misery
he yells to the other patrons:
wait until I win my $125 million arbitration suit against CNN
as Alisyn Camerota appears on the big screen TV
in the time slot he thought he might own forever
leave the robot dogs
in the equipment yard
strip off the military gear
if you’re not SWAT
melt the tanks
into scrap metal
for infrastructure
treat Black and Brown people
just like White people
learn to take a deep breath
before drawing taser or pistol
and stop treating the poisonous apples
so quick to judge and execute
as if they should get
a Medal of Valor
for wearing a uniform
they don’t deserve
