Yesterday
What blood was on your hands yesterday? Palestinian youth? Or America's wombs? Or did you vote 3rd party to absolve yourself from any guilt that would ensue. But you can't simply wash blood away. Didn't daddy teach you that wounds bleed until the heart loses electricity? Didn't mother teach you that blood stains fabric even after water runs clean? Blood is on your Amazon packages the flame retardant on your clothes on your paystubs and "passive income" you check on your phone It's in the trendy hummus you buy from Trader Joe's And the reality TV you use to convince yourself that your body is a home. There is blood on every single one of our hands Regardless of vote Because United We Stand.
