W3 – What Now?

Didn’t realize how light it was
Naïve, didn’t stop to pause
And then a certain clause
Changed an important law.
Freedoms that were strong
Changed – their plan all along
Govern as if we’re not United
Dark actors hidden, now invited
No need for the golden rule
Where you work, go to school
How you act, what you read
Independence gone with basic needs.

  3. Cheryl,

    I really appreciate how you highlight the shift from freedom to control in such a clear and impactful way. The rhythm of your poem makes the change feel almost sudden and overwhelming.
