Screw this
Screw this Reality
Screw this Bill
Screw Money
Screw Whiteness
Screw Racism
Screw Millionaires
Special Interests
Backroom Bills
And the ones we can see too
Screw working together with Those who hate the weak
While the hungry cry out
the people are being kidnapped
Your grandparents don’t know how they are going to get medical care
Disabilities, Queerness, and our Black and Brown siblings are hated
with the full force of the law
Screw that
Screw our children being afraid of
Everything
Screw the hard questions about the world they are coming into
Screw the rolling back of Environmental justice
Screw redefining words so that everything becomes “too political”
Screw Praying when we
should be Arguing
Walking
Fighting
Voting
And Protecting Each Other
And Screw this Economy that doesn’t
Give us time to breathe
Much less Care
Screw Everything
And Screw Up my face
With the tears
That run down It
As I don’t
Have the right Words
Or
Actions
Or Things to Do
And all I have
Is the Gut reaction
Of Screw Everything
And I empty Myself
Full on Confessional to
God
Saying Screw it
And I figure
God knows
And is probably
saying the same thing
With me
Screw Injustice
And Hopelessness
And “Good Enough”
This isn’t gonna Cut it
Anymore
Screw it
Until we Screw Together
Something else
I don’t even know What
But somehow
Screw it
Is a prayer
Holy Spirit Come
Help us to say
Screw it
To all we need to let go of
Then help us to
Unscrew all the Loose Screws
(And then
Maybe
Find us the tools we need
To start the work again)
But right now
Screw it
