It would be a shame if controllers went out on strike.
Is it a strike if they're not being paid?
It would be a shame if there was no one to guide
Air Force One back into the country when Trump
returns with his gold crown and Mugunghwa order.
It would be a shame if unpaid essential workers
took a vacation - walked away from security, law and order.
Do we understand essential? Who risks their lives for free?
It would be a shame if Americans decided their President
should stay home when the government is shut down,
if they realized this "Peace Maker's" first obligation is to them.
It would be a shame if we did not see that his promises
have been smoke and mirrors - food prices up, housing up
tariffs and bullying up. Hope down.
A WELL TRAVELED HEART
