Be we that we of whom it's said,
"This isn't who we are"...?
Be we that we enraged
that women's rights have gone too far...?
Be we that we who neighbors hear
call climate change a hoax...?
Be we that we who're silent re:
their neighbors' racist jokes...?
Be we that we who turn away
the planet's tired and poor...?
Be we that we who told the truth
but don't do any more...?
Be we that we of whom
"This isn't who we are" is said...?
We be that we. (And, as for me,
we'd all be better dead.)
