And turns to me, only a
Kid, and he asks in
Earnest, is that Donald Trump?
And I laugh, but later
My heart hurts.
Every child in our country, being
Raised hearing that tone
Is learning it's okay to yell,
Cajole, cuss, dismiss, bully
And call names.
Gentle discourse
Respect for others
Erudite, articulate, and
Asking for forgiveness
This I try to teach my son
And yet, we have
Given a voice to fear
Allowed yelling to replace
Intelligence and suddenly I see
No longer are we great.
