By Ram Cobain
A woman lifts her fist
As she once raised her voice
A bulldozer raises its arm
Like so many powerful men’s toys
Hark, this mechanical fascist salute
An obedient hat tip to the state
As a community finds in its blows
Broken portents of their fate
And lo, a family stands mute
As a mob cackles in elation
Cheering this ruin of a home
This debris of a nation.
