There are locks on the doors
because they tell us
it's unsafe inside.
We're better off in the streets,
where the rapists roam free,
but they'll try to keep us safe
for three days.
Nothing happens on a weeknight anyway.
The artists-musicians-dreamers
are silenced,
kicked to the curb.
Who needs free expression anyway?
They let hero worship
go to their heads.
Forgot what it means
to protect,
to honor life.
Forgot that they could have
ended up on the streets with us
when the city crumbled to the ground.
