a stolen poem

The bird from the Twitter logo is superimposed over a photograph of an ICBM taking off.

This is the first in a series of expropriated (stolen) poems. I take the words of politicians and use them to make poems. In some cases, such as here, I steal their words verbatim, changing only formatting. In others, I edit and manipulate as needed.

you millennial leftists
who never lived one day
under nuclear threat
can now reflect upon
your woke sky
you made quite a non-binary
fuss to save the world
from intercontinental
ballistic tweets

(stolen from Rep Clay Higgins)
