(1.27.10) Irony

We sat in the truck

And listened to a speech

Against apathy, for change.

And we sat.

We build a fence

Designed to restrict freedom

On federal land.

Land of freedom.

Still we build.

We talk about rights:

To own a gun, to get married

To see a doctor.

We just talk.

And we sit. We talk. Then we build our fence.
