Ice Poems
Jesus Wept
by Richard Randolph
They insist every fetus is a child,
but they don't mind putting immigrant children in cages along the border for a while.
Or separating them from the parents, they're criminals after all.
If the poor are unhappy, they can't understand why.

We can't take care of everyone, it's as simple as that.

cause i do not have a fire extinguisher in the house,
therefore ice comes handy.
yeah, i am that firefighter, fighting fire with ice."
