We’ve been though worse.
Yes, and the bad times ended because people fought back! Don’t be complacent, don’t minimize the issues. Fascism isn’t weather.
Serious question: How is this poetry? Isn’t this just prose formatted in a weird way?
Prose can be poetry too. I don’t get why people should always want to criticize poetry, or art, for not being “proper”. Poetry is there to reach inside the heart and to make you feel something. Nothing less, nothing more.

When you get down to it, isn’t that all poetry really is? But really, I think this would technically fall under ‘free verse’ (poetry with no rules).
How is it not poetry?
Did you feel anything when you read it?
That formatting is the worst, cudos to the enormous blanks too, wtf.
Poetry is both the sound and the silence. Without the silence and the breaks, there can’t be any poetry.
The only people who say this, are already well off to see more days. If you are struggling, you only see another day as a miracle.
