Bad Poet 2026: Day 24

  • by

The Prompt

Time for a food poem!

The Poem

If the United States
were a food,
what would they be?

Stolen, for sure

Rebranded, renamed
to hide where we got it from

No spice, no heat
no triggers to fire up dissent

Made from rotten ingredients
that leave you sick

With a medical bill
higher than
rent
mortgage
human life

Processing

When I first saw this prompt, I thought of the poem I wrote last year. Which I still really like.

Liberation for *all* would be sweet. Now, if we could all get behind that…

What do you think? Of the poem? Of the state of affairs?
