we tried to warn you
for years, decades even
and only now, when troubles
have finally knocked on the front door
of the ancestral homestead, you've become
politically inclined - even aware!
when it was confined to the ghetto
to the land of the great dark others
you were more than happy to offer
choice sentiments, liberally slathered
within the confines of some poem
written between your coffee and omelet florentine
it's too late now for poetic political strategies
and revolution kumbaya, this time
words are simply not enough
