March for Our Lives. What's April for?

The March for Our Lives inspired the nation
& students across the country keep going,
calling for townhalls, walk-outs & action.
Yet the GOP Congress does nothing,
and the NRA sees a surge in donations.

Trump picks warmongers as his advisers,
itching for war with Iran, North Korea or both,
and seeks to reward pro-torture, anti-dipolamts
in his latest administration shake-ups.

Mueller seems to connect dots among
Trump advisers, vendors, staffers, relatives
--making leaders of both parties nervous
that Trump could try to fire him any day.

In March, we saw electoral victories,
emboldened progressives & inspired activism.
But ends with an unhinged White House
& an uncertain road ahead.

March for Our Lives -- What's April for?
April for our wins? Or April for Trump's wars?

April, as always, for fools - and DC is full of them.
But if we keep marching, registering, fighting,
maybe April showers will bring May flowers.
