Red

Lavender, this is incredibly powerful. You’ve managed to turn a visceral sense of dread into something rhythmic and striking. The line dictated chaos floods the cities red is a haunting image that stayed with me long after I finished the poem. It’s a brave piece of writing.

Hello Lavendar your poem is an indictment of the current US regime, writers can't remain silent on this.

I would only add the following

Send in the new gestapo, the agents of ICE, policing the fascist state, corrupt and full of vice 

Keep on keeping on

there is a whole lot of people thinking the same thing that we are. well done! ~ Geez.

.

just hope that cooler heads prevail and we can contain this jerk! ~ Geez.

the words of your poem have me asking the question: How do we stop him from doing this illegal and immoral thing? How to stop the corruption? I despise what he is doing and view him as a domestic enemy. I am sick to my stomach when I hear the things he is doing! thanks for caring and voicing your strong disapproval!

If you have any advice as to how I can help, please let me know?

very fondly, Cat

Your poem is very strong, the strongest one I've ever seen from you, but everyone needs to hear this message. It sounds loud and clear, I know that you meant it that way, and I'm glad you said what you said. We're all in a dire predicament, everything is going awry, but I think we can do something about it, we can't stand and watch it pass us by. Speaking out with the voice of poetry is a great place to start. It gets our wheels turning and burns within our minds. We cannot allow blood to flow through the streets, there has got to be a solution to stop this societal pollution. People need to stand and fight, fight for the things that are right. If we let it go now, it will only get worse. I hate to say it, but I need to get more involved I have been apathetic too long.

John, hopefully the rest of the world sees it the same way. ~ Geez.
