Politics - Ellie Portner


I stand, a prairie dog 
In political grasslands
Barking an alarm
To my coterie
Predators have come
They are disturbing our peace
With their
Aggression
Arrogance
Misogyny
Ugliness and deceit
I want to hide in the burrows
But safety from politicians 
Is not to be found
And there is no one
Who will protect our grasslands
