More than Skin Deep

In Washington, the Redskins’ name
Has properly come under fire.
Unreasonably put to shame,
Minorities detect their ire
When others make them feel chagrin
For just the color of their skin.

When to Ask Questions Later

The stealthy use of U.S. drones
To execute Americans
Abroad who menace us brings groans
From civil libertarians
Back home who say don’t hence take lives.
Abuse without due process thrives.

When Jenny Goes Marching Off

If women want a combat role,
They ought to have the very chance
That men do, letting both control
How fast and far careers advance.
