On Refusing to MAGAbomb One’s Self
In the midst of a world of light and love, of song and feast and dance,
he could find nothing more interesting to think of than his own prestige.
-C. S. Lewis, A Preface to Paradise Lost
Just look into the mirror, and there you are
Could lose a little weight, but there - you are
You comb your hair, you brush your teeth, and then
You should always remember to make a face
And laugh
For you are not a sloganed comrade-hat
Nor yet a shadow in a marching mob
A noise, a post, a bumper-stickered oaf
An obedient tool being pushed about
Because
You are not a tagged and labeled identity
But a true child of God, brave, loving, and free
