Muse Sick

by Honey Novick

Melt ICE for Good
Melt ICE for Pretti
Melt Ice for Porter
Melt Ice for Good
ICE killed the poet but 
they can never kill poetry 
Let's use poetry power to fight back, 
become enspirited and 
speak out
Melt ICE for Good
“Have I Got News For You !!”
No I don’t
It’s the name of a TV show
That was supposed to be shown on TV but it wasn’t
Because there was constant reportage of another ICE murder
This time an ICU nurse named Alex Pretti
Melt ICE for Good
 
And Remember Keith Porter murdered by ICE in LA
Marimar Martinez shot by ICE
Mahmood Khalil arrested and jailed by ICE
5 year old LIAM used as a pawn to arrest his father
 
I am told that what is unbearable to me, will free me
Facing the unbearable
I live in hope while my spirit is hardened,
But not closed to hoping for the better
 
For Good, Pretti, Porter, let’s remember
Heber Sanchez Dominguez
Victor Manuel Diaz
Parady La
Luis Beltrán Yanez-Cruz
Luis Gustavo Nunez Caceres
Gerald Lunas Compos
All murdered by ICE
Melt ICE for the good of us all!!!
