Protest Poetry 2

Speculative futures

speculation on the cliche
counting chickens
before the eggs hatch,
when what I really wanted
were dragons
to burn it all down.

It’s the trial of the century!
That’s what they said
But please no questions
When you walk in to see
The judge wearing a blindfold
Reporters wearing gags
The jury with their hands tied
And lawyers brought to you by AI.
