Miss America
How can you
Tuck yourself in
Knowing your people
Beg your name for protection
But you failed us
Must I pay millions
For a second of your attention
A second of sympathy
For a gasp of air
Miss America
Do you dream of my posterity
As I wish
For this pain to end
As I wish for our lives to matter
