Justice for All

Justice for All 
-Mike Walsh 
“ I pledge allegiance… 
To corporate tax cuts
and veteran teachers 
with endless student loan debt. 
To dwindling pension and retirement funds 
and rising healthcare costs. 
... to the flag…
That flies from my front porch
but is too often at half staff 
on the flagpole at school.  
We stand for the flag. 
Why do we stand for the killings?    
...of the United States of America, 
We need to see the school counselor
and talk about our past and our future. 
When we bottle it up, 
we have outbursts like 
Charlottesville and El Paso.  
...and to the republic for which it stands, 
Ring! Ring! Ring!
Welcome back, everyone! 
They say hindsight is 2020
but foresight is all we have.
Will our republic stand in 2020?   
one Nation...
Teacher! My blindfold doesn’t fit right. 
Here let me help. 
Can you see election meddling now? 
No, I can’t see anything. 
Perfect. 
...under God, 
Teacher! My handcuffs are loose. 
Here let me help. 
Can you care for your neighbor now? 
No, I can’t move my arms. 
Perfect. 
Indivisible,  
OK, class please take out your birth certificates, 
your proof of insurance
and bribes (if applicable). 
Please remove all headscarves and du-rags and 
STAND for the pledge!

with liberty and justice for all.”

    Hi everyone, I saw comments from people who had already got their loan from Anderson Loan Finance. Honestly, I thought it was a scam, and then I decided to make a request based on their recommendations. A few days ago, I confirmed in my personal bank account amounting to 9,000 euros, which I asked for business. This is really good news and I am so happy that I advise all those who need a real loan and who are sure to reimburse to apply through their email (text or call) +1 315-329-6320 There are sincere loan lenders!

    They are able to thank you for your loan.

    Contact Mr Anderson

    Phone: +1 315-329-6320

    The office address is 68 Fremont Ave Penrose CO, 81240 ...

The Inconvenienced Majority

-
I am a member of the Inconvenienced Majority.  As of today, April 18, 2020, over 700,000 people in the United States have been confirmed to have COVID-19. Over 37,000 have died. 22 million have applied for unemployment in the past four weeks.  Yet, here I sit, healthy and employed. I am one of the lucky ones. The fact is, there are a lot of us. The vast majority of Americans, over 90%, are healthy and employed right now. The only direct effect COVID-19 has had on us, is that it has inconvenienced us. Hence the name, the Inconvenienced Majority.  We’re working from home or in a relatively safe environment and those paychecks are still rolling in. We’re far away from the emergency departments and intensive care units. We’ve finished at least one TV series and a few books. We’ve set up Zoom calls with our friends and family. We’ve finally cleaned out the tupperware drawer or the garage. We’ve tried our hand at some new recipes or hobbies. We’ve donated to some honorable c

I killed Adam Toledo

I killed Adam Toledo. Maybe after a little reflection, you will confess that you did, too?  Media outlets will tell you that a Chicago Police Officer killed Adam Toledo. However, I paid for the bullet that entered his chest. The officer may have fired the gun, by my votes and my tax dollars authorized and trained him to use it.  That officer patrols the streets at night while I sleep safe and sound in my bed. “Shots fired” ring through the static of his radio and he responds, running down an alley after a man carrying a gun. He does that for me. Why? So I can sleep safely and soundly. I pay him to do that. If you live in Chicago, you do, too.   But you know what else helps me sleep safely and soundly? Blaming the death of Adam Toledo on that same officer. That’s what it’s all about right? Me sleeping safely and soundly.  Tonight I’ll pay someone else to watch over “my” city while I sleep. Meanwhile Adam Toledo is dead, the officer that fired the shot wishes he was, and I’ll sleep safel

A Piece of Cloth

A Piece of Cloth  -Mike Walsh  A piece of cloth  is tearing us apart  Wardrobes full of clothes  Worthless We are Imprisoned on a screen  Muted   A firm handshake - An embrace  Relics  The power they hold  Trapped  Six feet away  The piece of cloth  Divides   Beady eyes peer out  Everyone  Is the enemy  Our smiles  Shrouded  Our voices  Muffled  By a piece of cloth  The things we hold  Dear  Taken  By a piece of cloth  Yet, the piece of cloth Protects  Shields  From the real enemy  The Virus  Victory  Lies beyond the piece of cloth  Together  Yet separate We must fight  Win We know how to fight In Streets  Face to Face  Signs  Slogans  Holding hands  But this fight is different Adapt  Or perish  The Virus Waits  Six feet away    Will we lose a war  Against a piece of cloth? Is this how  Democracy  Dies?    A piece of cloth  Fastened  As a blindfold  On our eyes  Science  Defeated  By  Freedom  Torn apart  By a piece of cloth
