Bend

We can't kneel for peace---
But we should kneel for tyrants?
Great Democracy.
Bend the knee and bend the rules...
When will the moral arc bend?

Curriculum

You learn to not learn
And then you become teachers.
White supremacy
Is quite the curriculum.
And you can't fail if you're "white."

Miss Information

The genius says this,
"The COVID vaccine kills folks."
You're responsible---
For spreading lies that kill folks.
You're a sicko sick of truth.

Beat Bad

We won yesterday!
The Caps beat the Devils bad.
With jaws on the floor,
We lost the game: five to three.
Devils lost teeth: three to five.

We forget

Written by C Hues

October 12, 2024

History teaches us that we don't teach history.
First edition book omits the first people here.
History hides the truth with thinly veiled lies to youth.
First, second, third, fourth year of the same shit you don't teach.

The frontier is just another word for stolen land.
The stolen land is just another thing we forget.
"We forget" is just another excuse to repeat.
"We forget" is just another excuse to repeat.

Cap

If you love boxing---
Then you should watch Wilson fight
Cause that Cap's not cap.
The sport's so serene and kind---
Fists fly faster than the puck.

Leading

You're leading the league---
In turnovers; flagrant fouls.
You're leaving the league---
To the surprise of your team...
That you weren't released sooner.

First Year

Written by C Hues

October 6, 2024

It's your first year, coach.
Your team lost most of their games.
It's your last year, coach.
Another team hires you---
It's your first year, coach. Again.

Good Coach

Written by C Hues

October 5, 2024

You play your whole team.
That's why you're such a bad coach.
You pretend to care---
And then you play favorites.
Shocker---you haven't won yet.

True Age

Written by C Hues

October 5, 2024

You're fifty years old.
And you haven't aged a bit.
It's a year later---
And you're fifty yet again.
And you haven't lied a bit.
