Sunday Morning
POETRY FORMAT, 10 May 2021
Michael David Morrissey – TRANSCEND Media Service
I woke up this morning
ashamed
it being Sunday
another day
another night
another week
another month
another year
in the crucifixion
for ten years now
of Julian Assange
dying for us
and we let them.
A transparent conspiracy
if there ever was one
of all our so-called “democracies.”
And we let them.
It being Sunday
let us pray.
