Fall Back

did we all take a giant step back
when the clocks did
this eden-less Fall?

Blacks in California put a black mark against
same sex marriages
protesters punches and anarchists arrested
and you pushed me away when I was open armed
and waiting for your call.

did we all lose a bit of progress
when we elected a so-called Liberal
yet freedoms were stripped
when you forced space
and expected me to sit waiting til you wanted me again?
