What Became Of Us?
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.

Perfectly penned!!!❤️❤️💕
Powerful & eloquent! 🙏🏾Praying 4 those targeted and our nation at large!
So very sad 😢 I work at a multicultural school. I’m worried what will happen. Way to bring this to light.
I thought this kind of thing happen movies and it become a reality in our own country . 😪I hear you on this . I hope someone can stand up and Make America, America again
It's a truly heartbreaking and infuriating situation. Well said, Cindy.
Beautiful, heartbreaking, and speaks to the core of the matter.
This is truly heartbreaking 😭😭😭😭😭
It's insane what's going on. This doesn't feel like the America I want to believe in.
Just saw a news clip concerning ICE going after youth in NYC who are natural born citizens of this country. Their coach intervened preventing them from interviewing/questioning the kids but the damage has been done, fear invoked. Only one of twenty-five kids returned to practice the day of the interview.
this is very powerful, Cindy. I can't believe the news I'm watching every day. There's another protest on July 18, seems this is the only thing we can do now to stop the madness.
an eloquent, heartwrenching piece that rightly pulls no punches highlighting and protesting the horror! well done, Cindy!
I am in tears. I am so sad about what’s going on. Many people are being deported to violent countries like El Salvador or places in Africa where they are brutalized. They are not even simply sending them back to their homes. I am going to say it out loud - THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION IS EVIL!
