Dear New Jersey
Take care of her,
or I swear to God
that I will
raze your fields,
tear down your homes,
and slaughter your innocents.
Take care of her,
or you will feel
my wrath.
She is my sister,
confidant,
and half of my soul.
I will not rest
until she can breathe easy
and smile.

i first read this in the dead of night and had meant to comment, but fell asleep, slobbering on my laptop… i’m reminded of a hook that Ice Cube once sang “lord please, murder my enemies, burn them at a 1000 degrees….” i mean, i’m really a peaceful person. i barely hardly even harm a fly.
but “sometimes”, right? …aka “i love this poem”
Yes, I am totally feeling this – especially about my daughter who is far away.
