A Last Earthly LifeBy Kathy Powers
Today,the last alive organism,a lone sunflower
Starvedby a field ofdusty concrete soil
Parchedby plastic waterthat quenched her
Chokedher life breath snuffedby fossil...
Citing dangerous conditions, lack of adequate food and medical care, and cruel legal obstacles that keep many in captivity for months, protesters gather outside as several hundred detainees go on hunger strike at the ICE North Lake Processing Center in Baldwin, MI.
