Season of the Awakening

 

Apparently they didn’t know

didn’t know things were so bad

 

But somehow

between being locked down

stuck in our houses

forced to live via screens

 

and watching

(apparently they had to watch it)

George Floyd be lynched

 

White America woke up

 

It helped that Trump was so blatantly racist

shit hole countries

brown kids in cages

 

It became too obvious to look away

 

Welcome to the cookout

You’re late

But we’re glad you’re here
