I Yearn for Yesterday

 

I Yearn for Yesterday

Today, hands tied behind my back, mouth taped shut,

I am swept into this untenable world…not of my making

Ignorance and blatant thievery writ large upon a corrupt canvas

Erasing the once-sacred document created by God for us,

that guided our actions to an equitable state of balance, of liberty…

wiped clean and modeled in a malicious manner that will enslave us

I yearn for yesterday.
