Cynthia Supreme
Honesty is her thing
she wants you to believe
I hope it is
as she sits
on her bench
in the Georgia
House of
Representatives
She says “walk light”
to those not on her side
While she tells her own
“You KNOW what to do”
I wish the black lives of
Georgia meant as much to her
(as they do to
me and you)
as she disenfranchised
the black swing votes
by letting some
stuff the ballots
pretending
it’s not right there
in the evidence
submitted to our courts
