Thought I'd share a poem today for Mothering Sunday. Here is 'Lost at the Fair' from my collection The Burning Circus. Getting lost from a child's perspective. Deborah recorded this for @fallingreen.bsky.social.

A legion of
liars
freaks
corrupt
twisted buffoons
enabling a reckless
dangerous fool
Torching our constitution
and the rule of law
Everything distorted
like a funhouse mirror in hell
Truth
turned upside down

You only see what they want you to see
mind twisted with lies, rampant ego and notions of false dignity
say so much meaning little
meanwhile
everyone tiptoeing to the middle
as a fascist rages
hoping not to be seen
hardly matters
this is not a dream
it’s our lives…now

We’re the pirates of the Caribbean
and the world
imperialistic invasion schemes
oil dreams
to fuel the war machine
bombing and killing anyone in our way
courtesy of the fascist state, U.S.A
where freedom
is a fading memory by the day

We feud in a battleground
consumed with bitter regrets
and it’s all too clear
bitterness is all we’ve got left to share
Ours is an empty and broken love affair
I know deep in your heart
you don’t really care
Bitterness is all we have left to share

They'll scare you
intimidate you
choke you out
with fear
until dissent dies
in your mind
a death rattle
in your imagination
memories
extinguished
like kindness
in a death camp
in the Everglades
our human connections
too easily severed
lost in the swamp
of our ugly past

Who put out our fire
and gutted our dreams?
Was it killers for hire
hiding in the shadows?
They pave their prosperity
over our unmarked graves
until there’s no trace
of their brutalities.
Poverty and desperation
are their only policies.

Monsters
claim to represent us
but they only represent themselves.
We the People look on horror
in face of endless outrages and
fascist decrees.
Now is the time to howl…
Stay silent and
there won’t be another chance.
#poetry #booksky #poet #poets
Waging a war against America
ruthlessly whitewashing our past and present
scoffing at our freedoms
disregarding our rights as human beings
callously silencing free speech & dissent
using fear and lies to justify your fascist policies
a gangster presidency
It will never be normal
#booksky #poets
Dictatorships start with
fearful whispers
and end with a boot on the throat
of freedom.
Media offices shuttered.
Dissent quashed
as voices silenced.
Hope barely a glimmer in the eyes
of those betrayed.
Lost in the shadows,
seeking light in lies
and in a privileged smile.
