Here we go again:
one more white supremacist,
hopped up on Tucker Carlson,
popping off in nurtured rage!
Here we go again:
one more white supremacist,
hopped up on Tucker Carlson,
popping off in nurtured rage!
Seems, now, the problem’s
not guns but video games
and not Dayton… Toledo?
Not to your vile
nature nor to your greedy
ways do I owe my sorrow.
~
I revolt myself,
every time I wish you ill,
yet I can’t refrain.
Listen Up, you grey old goat!
Your racist ways are history.
Does that hate not sere your throat?
That grossly overt bigotry
never fails to offend
younger,
compassionate,
thoughtful men.
But since we’re here within this lodge,
I’ll try to muster up some grace,
abide the precepts of wiser men
and curb my urge to pulp your face.
I’ll maintain regard unconditional
despite your beliefs, so unlovable.
“You damned liberal!
I’ll bet you LOVED Obama!”
“You would lose that bet.
He was too conservative.”
Thrill to hot coffee spit-take.
When cheers subside
And mournful sobbing ceases,
All that remain is more mess.
Some Christians might want
to review what Jesus said
for them to be and to do.
~
Some Christians don’t care
what that bastard had to say!
After all, he was a Jew!
Singing naught of hope,
Neither love nor compassion;
He croons to our baser selves
Ballads of terror,
Hatred and fear and mistrust.
Pray these become his swansong?
I have been staying out of most political conversations for months. Today, While I was driving around the county, providing community mental health services to people who would be most negatively impacted by a Trump Presidency, I realized that the Trump campaign signs needed editing to more accurately reflect the affect of his campaign on the state of interpersonal relations in this country. When I got home, I decided to make my feelings on this subject crystal clear by designing this postage stamp.
Oh blessed silence
Coming from my radio!
Turned off politics.
Today I wear black
Not in solidarity
For any fashionable
Cause, not in support
Of any special interest,
Just in grief at where we are.
