Quietly scattered among the many,
We stand silent and ready; everpresent.
Fatigued, strained, stretched,
Broken seams repaired countless times,
Just to keep coming back to stand.
Rain, snow, sleet, blaze,
Gale, avalanche, and endless calamities
Standing the gap.
Braving the storms to protect the innocent
Time after time, no recognition, no thanks,
No thanks, no care.
You won’t hear a complaint or a scorn
Just a quiet stoic silence
You can depend on your life.
Failure is not an option quitting
Not even a choice. Bleeding beyond the
End to make sure they survive; all
While trying to go on.
Broken

Ludacris and Nelly draw backlash over bookings at MAGA-coded music festival
Ludacris and Nelly headlining a mostly right-wing event is good for them. It’s also great for the genre of hip hop. The two rap veterans have showcased their talents on other stages. Why can’t they perform for mostly MAGA folks and grab that bag?
