Why do Americans act so surprised

at news of children's deaths when poverty

and the gap between the rich and poor doth rise

with  tax breaks for disdainful oligarchy.

Jermaine Thomas beats his son, Troy, to death

and stuffs his corpse inside a garage washer

while Jaily's mum, Krystel Candelario, left

on holiday and forgot about her daughter.

Life in prison for the adults seems okay

while benefits are channelled from their peers

to fund the latest scheme that Trump dreamed up today

to punish pregnant teenagers with babies and with jeers.

  And while they're at it, give the orphaned kids some guns

  to vent their incel rage on other mother's sons.
