What happens every day disturbs me

The anxiety and the helplessness.

As if a void has been built around us,

Capable of swallowing our integrity.

“Love the smell of deportation.”

Could everything really be a hoax?

I’m sorry but we have to do better,

A megalomaniac is seeking heaven.

His words bounce off our world

Like the teflon we cannot break,

Such a sad commentary is obvious,

Treason occurs, we simply spin our wheels.

~

We can’t just keep tossing about our words,

Some action needs a kindness we are losing.
