I wrote a pome about current events:

A poem in black words on a white background that read:

Person Is Killed in ICE-Involved Shooting in Maine

Person
Passive
Forever now

Agents
Active
Shot him dead

Our polite society
Has chosen to forget
The words necessary
To describe the truth

So a person is killed
Impunity is granted
A little girl grows up
Fatherless.

Our editors write
The next headline.
