hedge funds buy up
medical practices and
hospitals right and left,
closing many, limiting
access in others, but
since they still accept
our plan, we say nothing.
elected officials grant
tax incentives to businesses
and cronies who fund
their campaigns, while
the families lose their homes,
but since it is NIMBY,
we keep our mouths shut.
we are so busy following
the Swift changing news
and wondering how our
sports team will do
at the end of the season,
while people shiver
on every street corner,
yet since we are warm
and cozy in our bubbles
with our smart TVs turned up
your words
fall on deafened ears.
