#brutalities
This is not what we were taught in school Fights, mayhems, police arrests and brutalities In the soiled streets. Compatriots, it's never cool To see so much blood and so many fatalities. Competing banners are everywhere. A ticker- Tape parade has gone wrong. Terror and horror Got together for the wrong reasons, at the wrong Place. There are too many obscenities in the song. I am so stunned that I don't want to say too much The images are absolutely nefarious and repugnant This is unbelievable. America does not deserve such A ferocious slap in the face. This is lewd and aberrant. Copyright © October 2020, Hébert Logerie, All rights reserved Hébert Logerie is the author of several collections of poetry.

A Dreamy Democracy In Danger
Screams, screeches, groans and wails, Brutalities, agonies, torture, and blood, Tear Gases, pallet guns, bullets and bombs Humanity sobs, world is falling apart Kids are blinded Men are jailed Women are molested The old are tortured Luckily, you have food Billions are starving You have a warm blanket Trillions live under the frigid sky Dreams are murdered Voices are  unheard Wishes are being blurred Every heart has become graveyard Sweet melodies step down as Sighs take over the throne Rainbow of Joy is washed by the deluge of tears Soul of humanity becomes a pray of endless wild Forest of Wars Even the Sun refuses to rise above the Plumb, snowy mountains Yet you say world is beautiful?? For you are at peace…. Come out of your palace You will see…. Sky painting itself red! Butterflies renouncing their dreams Birds with trimmed wings Blood oceans, barren trees, burnt houses, Teared eyes, and shattered bodies Earth is ugly Earth is savage Earth is a cage Earth is a jinxed place                   (Paghunda Zahid)
