I wrote this poem during Trump's first term. It's still relevant today.

When They go Low!

We go High!

-Michelle Obama, 2016

When They Go

Low. Hashtags are born from

A wailing mother

As she clings to her Boy.

15 year old

Martyr

in a war

He didn’t know he was fighting.

---

When They go Low

Life is born in tainted innocence

Nine year old tears as bright light shines and

A little girl wonders why her baby doll feels

So heavy.

---

When They go Low

Innocent specters chased down linoleum

Halls. Survivor’s

Guilt graduating in Springtime.
