i cannot get
warm
on the verge
of frozen tears
shaking
in anger
they knew
this would happen
and yet
they did
nothing
rather than
spend
on improving
the infrastructure
they left us
to freeze
how do you
forgive
such negligence
how do you
forget
the silence
there will be
a new crisis
manufactured
to divert eyes
a celebrity scandal
or something
equally vapid
and the only ones
who will pay
will be the ones
that suffered
just like always.
