Not Again
By Michael Rubin
Vote for her, rally for him, believe in them, who said what again?
March for this, assemble for that, stand for what, elections again?
Unemployment up, attention span down, un-follow them, swipe left again.
Subpoena her, grand jury him, depose them, who did what again?
Shooting in Florida, murder in Texas, sexual assault in Washington, not this again?
GoFund this, Kickstart that, pray for them, make it great again.
Michael Rubin is born and raised in Los Angeles, CA. He graduated from UC Davis in 2012 with a bachelor’s degree in political science, and currently works in the cyber-security industry. He first fell in love with poetry when he was eight years old after presenting “The Edge of the World” by Shel Silverstein to his entire elementary school. Michael pursues poetry as an escape from the hustle and bustle of life in the city.
