Is There a “Board of Peace” for Minnesota?

 

The president is mobilizing federal soldiers;

The governor, his state’s national guard

Sister and brother to war with each other

While citizens are scarred with bullet and shard

 

The chief of police makes stirring speeches

The several mobs lock lies into their ‘phones

ICE-men pull guns while a bullhorn screeches

Possibly next they will send up the drones

 

“We’re better than this,” some official will say –

More smoke to befoul Minnesota today
