LIBERAL’S LAMENT, By Louise Annarino, JAnuary 3,2013

 

It is difficult

to be

around me,

a round me

trying to fit

in a square hole,

not allowed to be

whole

within a fractured space

of give it your all

and take what’s Left

by those in control

who are always

Right.

They are so tight

and hard to take

with their

“might makes Right”;

with their

“you get what you deserve”

and

“we deserve what you get”;

taking away our pay

to play,

and locking the doors

against the poor.

Our common DNA

shames my ancestry,

and visits hate

on who I am.

I am a liberal!
