THE WALK(of shame)

Good morning America.
We’re mourning America.
The, once great America,
Dear God save America.
What the hell is happening?
Crimes were once a bad thing.
The hypocrisy is maddening,
He’s why the world is laughing.
Now what of law and order?
Most look on in horror,
Seniors breaking bad
On Pennsylvania ave,
And he was proud as peacocks,
The former “king of New York”
My, my look what we’ve got,
Tempest in a teapot.
See the rich and powerful,
They too are accountable,
So I won’t shed a tear,
While justice has two tiers,
One for me and mine,
For whom she’s never blind,
In the life a day,
Rich men never pay!
Poor man chasing dreams,
These men devils’ schemes,
And I won’t say his name
The lies his claim to fame.
So let him do the perp walk,
Mugshots take them too,
And let the whole world watch
See what pride does to a fool!

About this poem:
Solemn past few days even for those of us not living there. Many will attempt to whitewash, to deny, to forget this momentous day in history and we cannot allow them to for the sake of democracy. Though we don’t know if he’ll ever be held accountable for his many transgressions no one is above the law! Be vigilant brothers and sisters many, even Christians have been deceived. To all I say It is never too late to embrace truth and chart a different path. Go forth in Gods grace and mercy!

I heard about Clarence Thomas. More than 20 years! Power absolutes corrupts! It doesn’t stop there though his wife was also part of the insurrection! Sad thing is he’s there for life. Nothing happens to these people. So there’s no incentive to do better…smh

What happened to Right and Wrong, we have blurred the lines between the truth and a lie. Now we call them alternative facts. Somewhere we adopted the notion that telling the truth and standing up for what's right is weak. If a lie is repeated enough times its becomes questionable if its a lie. A lie is dressed up and it's colorful and need a lot of props. The truth is plain and never dressed up so its less attractive to those who have no principal or respect for that that is plain an simple. To some a lie is more beneficial, it gains $$$ and perceived power for those are attached. Look at how many people are willing to accept and defend a lie, opposed to those who will stand up for the truth.
