Know
People will disagree
What I'm writing.
Never comfortable
With strong courageous
Or inspiration label.
Reluctantly
Accept survivor.
Often struggle
Understanding
What life means.
Placing others
Ahead of myself
Guilty - saying "no".
As if
Personal ethics
Morally wrong.
And yet
Moral toughness
Necessity requires.
To survive intact
Balancing contradictory needs
Without losing my soul.
Especially
During this age
Of demagoguery.
People like myself
Society views
As weak.

Author’s note: Those who read my poetry, know that I’m very emotional. Especially, over the past 6 weeks, have found me, more often than not, balling my eyes out, over the despicable conditions of the US detention centers, around its southern border. I know the Trump administration and its supporters, will disagree with the correct usage of concentration comps, which thousands of Latin American are being held, in barbaric conditions, not seen, since the liberation of the Nazi Concentration Camps of WWII. A scene, no one wants to witness again.

I simply cannot believe that, not only are people apparently okay with it, the ones executing the orders are acting so barbarically. I cant believe this is happening in North America. A new low for humankind.
