Bravo, Linda. Kindness and consideration, respect for one another's human dignity as demonstrated by the simple courtesies that make us civilized.

I like the way you've handled the format of this poem. Also the tone, except for "Sugar," which to me feels condescending, like the southern US use of "bless your heart." Your rhetorical position is clear, and the message is obviously an important one.

My main editorial suggestion would be to tighten it up by looking for unnecessary repetition. The final tercet, for example, may be overkill, especially following such a perfect exit line as "What's even left?" Trust your readers' intelligence; they'll get the message.

Wish more people in this in-your-face Brave New America would get this message.
