I couldn’t, can’t sleep from the outrage and grief.
How many Americans are staying home right now?
The most patriotic thing most of us have ever done.
Sacrificing our livelihoods, our pleasures, our visits to
our parents’ sickbeds, our children’s births
Working without PPE, without knowledge of the disease
To save the lives of the unknown, beloved stranger—our nurses
and doctors, our teachers, our first responders, our neighbors.
Some powerful few suggest that for the sake of the economy, we
should turn ourselves into unwitting bullets that will kill hundreds of
thousands of other Americans,
To render pointless what we have already done and will keep
doing.
I never want to hear again that “All Lives Matter,” that they
are “pro-life.”
How can I persuade you that freedom should not murder?
