Get out

Get Out

 

I have to leave the house tomorrow

 

Fatigue energized by hope-

lessness

 

Depression fueled by gas-

lighting

 

Truth obscured by astro-

turfing

 

Men & women of honor being held up

to ridicule

 

A nation dedicated to human rights saving families from

each other

 

Deaths of innocents lending grievance for

self-preservation

 

Relationships fired up and burning

out

 

I have to try to leave the house tomorrow.

Great app stuff Mac, I really like your idea of AstroTurf obscuring truth...

Just read your profile and think that your sample poem is also great!

Cheers

Those last two lines sum up the last 2 years in America right now. Great, emotionally evocative piece. Enjoyed it.?

I can really relate to this. I like the vivid opposites in each phrase. Thank you!
