Emotions
Run
Dangerous
…hot…
Continuous
Barrages
Of hate mail memes…
Social media blasts
Which disrupts
Our now...
Awakening,
Horrors ...in our past...
Relentless acts
Where...
Pain and suffering
Ruled the day...
Flowing …slow and steady
…like lava…
Destroying
Everything in its path...
Like lifelong relationships
causing unnecessary distress...
On topics of...
skewed... relevance
Which crumple and collapse
The bridges
Standing...
Upon common ground
Where ...once we found...
Friendship...
Under constant onslaught
Of outside inspired …influence…
Enemies
Of the patriotism
Which gave this country\a rise to power
Are undermined, daily
By professional
Provocateurs
Whose primary
Objective
Is to create dissent…
Like matchsticks
…in a furnace
Race baiting
Warlords
Barking orders
To
a growing body
Of those
Who choose …badly…
Although, not
Considering themselves
Bigots
Are perfectly at ease
Associating themselves
with others
Who make clear
…their intention
To exclude others
…unlike them
Cowards …showing
Such distain
For other people
…without the least provocation
Talking about committing atrocities
Against helpless women and children
While giggling like schoolgirls
Like that makes them …some kind
Of g*d* …war heroes…
Churches and crosses …burned…
Abandoned schools
With shot out windows
…and bloodstained walls
House …lost spirits…
Whose shadows
No longer play
…at recess…
The still smoking ruins
of democracy…
Shudders …and moans,
freedom deferred…
Justice denied, twice
Smothered voices,
Gerrymandered
Beyond recognition
…of any semblance
Of the elusive status …
Democratic republic
Racist rhetoric, once evident
…on the sidelines
Becomes prevalent…
Evidence of a total distain
…for the past state of the union
Appears powerless to assuage
The assault of… new coup…
Overpowered from within
…with enemies of the state…
Becoming the…
(S)Elected members
…of the makers …of the law…
Unchecked, choose
Among their allies
To solidify …the rift,
Between…
Those
who’ve grown to believe
The nation …of
We the people…
Who...
Have learned the gift
Of a melding of diverse talents,
Of alliances …with mutual benefits
Allowing all to share the bounty
Rather than …winner take all…
Of the ruling…
Committee…
C2
Who readily
…coexist, with tyrants
Is assisted by evil… assassins…
Disavows democracy
…as it falls…
Falls under…
The new…
Confederacy
Leaving the helpless
To suffer
…beyond hope…
