A golden shovel after Frederick Joseph
The kind of news I can’t tell
Irish friends without shaking heads, asking me
how anyone sends children to school in America.
No laws in the aftermath, just lies about which
side the shooter’s on, new calls for the political will
for common sense but resignation that it
won’t happen. Here, one class of WMDs will be
free of all regulations, in homage to the
actual god who reigns above all—the gun.
To be free, great, and safe, we ask migrant or
homegrown? Stop at nothing to neutralize the
threat of brown parents who want care for their child.
Michelle DeRose is an embarrassed American who lives and writes in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
