a chill in the air

A citizen of our land, I am awakened this Monday morn amidst the tumult that is Republican. Tears fall from my eyes as my gaze is held hostage to witness the hastily dug graves of America where rain has turned the field to mud and the wooden markers are tipping over. One wonders how any citizen might support the deliberate actions of so dangerous an ill wind whose aim can only be to achieve subversion, obstruction, disruption, and destruction of our nation. To suspend democracy, erase freedom and rights, and the environment be damned, so that the elite few may make yet more money? Only they who apparently harbor zero thought of regard for their brother or sister might embrace such anarchy on such a grand stage and scale. Do people have any concept of just how dangerous it is to entertain the notion that the few at the top of the money pile have even an inkling of concern for their fellow man? Do you think that you will ever be invited to sit at the table with them? No, you won't. And even if you were, it would be in the role of stooge and would only last for as long as deemed necessary by the sharks so as they may enter the feeding tanks. Then you will be tossed into the maelstrom and before you know it, you too, will rest in the belly of the beast. I always felt that man was destined only to eventually become merely fish food. I just never thought that it could or would happen so quickly...

Hi, hedistuff,
Do people have any concept of just how dangerous it is to entertain the notion that the few at the top of the money pile have even an inkling of concern for their fellow man? Yes, and it is frightening to think we may live to witness the severe consequences of such delusion. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Poems that need to be written await collective poetic hands.
