O beautiful for piercing cries,
for siren waves of sound, 
for blue and red light, flashing beams
above the school yard ground. 
America! America! We praise the NRA. 
Our children die, we shrug and sigh. 
It's the price we choose to pay.

O beautiful for congress proved
their complete lack of care
Who more than country, money loved
just send a thought and prayer. 
America! America! The founders still would say, 
How dare children's deaths try to transgress 
on arms we bear today!

O beautiful for patriot dream
which must include a gun. 
Freedom can't exist in the impotence 
of men who don't need one. 
America! America! Guns are a god to thee
Deny the soul; no gun control. 
Only death can prove we're free.

... It's about the American people and a party that says they want to represent us in order to create/revise systems under which we all can thrive.
8. Outside of the SOTU, Dems need to state and stand on your principles even if that costs reelection. Hold to your convictions and let us vote.

6. Edit the stories for brevity only. It's got to keep moving. One dem up to the mic, read, apologize, state the action to be taken, next dem up, next... Keep going during the whole duration of coverage for the other state of the union.
7. Don't mention any Republicans. ...

... It should be a TRUE state of the union with no political jargon. Emotional appeal.
5. Every Dem senator and congressperson should find a story. At the end of reading each story, ADMIT how dems have failed related to the main issue in the story, and how they'll change going forward ...

... related to vaccines, someone being disowned by family because of lgbtqia+, any stories that, at their core, are tragedies everyone can relate to. Don't soften any details. If the person wrote it, read it. It's a full-on emotional appeal. The stories of real people in this country...

1. Dems gather outside the building.
2. Wear the same color, I suggest purple.
3. Get any press you can to cover it. Have people live stream it on social media.
4. Read REAL stories from real people. The horror stories of people dying from being denied care, preventable deaths/illnesses ...

Poem: Women are not here for men. 
I know that's tough to hear.
Eve and the rib are a myth,
and that might cause you fear. 
Because if women don't exist for men
you're not entitled to one.
And your status among the boys 
no longer on a woman can be hung. 
Women are not here for men. 
It is a foundational truth. 
And while you may not believe it
you are currently reading the proof.

Never listen to the scolds! I write all kinds of poems with different rhymes and meters, and plenty of free verse. My poetry book is full of variety. And, yes, T.S. Eliot is great πŸ™‚.

Poem: I take my joy in pieces
Any size will do
My country is crumbling 
But I can find a few
Portions of joy from the love
That still lives here in us
Call me silly or corny 
I won't make a fuss
See, before we beat the fascists 
We have to beat despair 
So I'll find pieces of joy
And spread it everywhere

Poem: If I've faded from the center
of your mind's heart, 
pull me back through the clouds 
and tell me you're still here, 
at the end of this telephone fog. 
I'll be doing the same, 
calling your name into our distance, 
pulling you to me 
to feel some invisible intimacy

Meet Addy, by Connie Porter, was the first American Girl book I ever read. If you're a teacher or parent wanting to ensure your kids learn the truth about American slavery, I recommend this book.

Sometimes, you just gotta let go. Find inspiration in the groundbreaking poem, The Day I Gave No F_cks.
