Like That
like when GM
tanked
like when the ocean
was oil
like when sports lost
at the ATM
like when construction workers
had nothing to construct
like when fast food
replaced slow food
like when prices at the pump
became a bill
like when terrorists
grounded planes
like when military service
was forgotten
like when children
don’t get to be children
like when weapons
are misused
like when humanity
is compromised
like when people forget
how to think for themselves
like when young people lose direction
and old people have to take it
like when there aren’t enough homes
or enough rooms at the shelter
like when fighters
don’t get back up
like that …
