A Toddler At The Beach

 I am no proud American

No credit to my race

Don't condone

Carpet bombing Muslims

I dread anguish

I fear brown clouds

Dark balloons floating

Under black skies

Mean punishing winds

Blowing through

I once watched

A toddler no longer living

Resting at the beach

Sleeping

Perhaps dreaming

A warm blanket

And swimming lessons

Absent brown clouds

Red orange pink balloons floating
