Ethel Rosenberg

I would like to have lived
to wear a pink pussy hat
and gone to that march.
But I was collateral damage..
A communist, just a Jew,
just a woman
who had no secrets to sell.
Funny how collusion
is now such a common word.
I hear that Roy Cohn's protoge
stalks the White House.
I hear Ivanka is a Jew.
Better dead then red
the masses jeered
as they threw the switch.
They had to do it twice.
I had no secrets to sell.
I was just a wife and mother.
I would have voted for the woman.
