tiny and black
scavengers all
hunting scraps of sugar
an oasis of toddler’s crumbs
found
left under a window.
I wonder
what must it be like
to never celebrate individuality
or dance
or sing
or write
to only
ever
hunt
Do they see their servitude?
Or are they programmed
only to work?

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?
