The Sad Month Of February Poem by RIC BASTASA

you may disagree:
since it has the heart
it keeps what you
idolize
as the valentine
red heart beating
symbolizing love,

like cats meowing
on their heat
or the dogs yelping
for another round
of procreation

it is indeed a hot month
they arrested
those whom we know
as health workers
and the world is now
complaining
yet the president is
doing nothing

the saddest month of the
year
when freedom is killed.
