I've been reading the poems of Carl Sandburg, who was described as "more than the voice of America ... he was America."
"I Am the People, the Mob" particularly resonates in these times.

Sure, Andrew Cuomo. Great idea. Charge to use the libraries.
Why not get the homeless to pay for staying in shelters? Tuition for public schools?

Ukraine’s Kobzars were once the nation’s living memory—blind troubadours who sang of war, loss, and resilience.
Nearly erased by Soviet purges, their tradition endures, echoing through time.

Defenseless under the night
Our world in stupor lies;
Yet, dotted everywhere,
Ironic points of light
Flash out wherever the Just
Exchange their messages:
May I, composed like them
Of Eros and of dust,
Beleaguered by the same
Negation and despair,
Show an affirming flame.
