Scared Little Old Lady Poem by Matthew Ray Long

I'm a little old lady, I'm a quite church mouse. I put in my day, then straight to the house. You'll not find me dissenting, I'd never speak out. I keep my opinions locked up in my mouth. I'm filled with my government issued terror. I'm scared to go out. Tv news lady said Muslims are here, black lives matter, and look at that queer. Got me so scared I'd give up my guns. Give up my freedom, give up my god, give up my personality, just let me sleep safe at night. Take away the nightmares that are put in my brain. Please give me psych meds to cure my insane. I must just be crazy to think up these thoughts, cuz I'm just a commodity to be sold and to be bought.
