When Did We Become Invisible?

They came for another,

ambush of a masked cult.

Taking a father, a brother,

legal or not, whoever doesn't fit

their inhumane ideal.

They came for another,

these wannabe soldiers,

hell bent on destroying lives.

Their own souls evaporated

beyond recognition.

This time they took

the objectors because

land of the free must be

only one voice.

They came for another,

screams of a child,

who cried for her mother.

She no longer belongs.

They came for another,

then another,

and another

as we watched,

complicit in silence,

our country disappeared.
