What we consume
Is what we become
If we lunch on
White nationalism
We isolate
On hate
If we dine on dignity
We create
An improved state
If we fill up on
Loving kindness
We rid ourselves of
Exclusionary blindness
When we sup to fill our souls
Humanity has no holes
Venal
Americans
Destroy
America’s
Longing,
Instigating
State
Mayhem.

National
Democracy
Amazingly
Lives on

Sedition,
an aberrant condition
set forth by a coalition
of ochlocratic politicians
who hide sins of omission
thankfully not in a position
to destroy our tradition.
Going down this road to perdition
there are racists, by their admission
live-streaming on television,
Proud Boys on a seditious mission
attacking our house, felonious commission
breaking through the partitions
with the president’s permission,
using malice aforethought cognition.
Bringing war munitions
for coordinated ignition
sent by radio transmission
to create Our demolition.
There is no act of contrition
that can forestall their abolition
thereby reducing fevered acquisition
of their fascistic opposition.
Time for our own admonition
in order for our new transition
to bring into fruition
a new American rendition
no longer with inhibition
for a loving disposition.
Will Trump then become an apparition?
Will there be any depositions?
This wouldn’t be an imposition
on US to hold an inquisition
making this our Nation’s mission.
To call this a coup – a recognition
not just a juxtaposition?
It’s time for us to reposition
a Democratic exposition
with all of US for composition
This has been my definition
of a terrorist expedition.
Forced now into remission.

The best
The worst
Who is left
Are we cursed?
The most
The least
God-given
Or of the beast?
The strongest
The weakest
Can we improve
To not be bleakest?
The highest
The lowest
Will we believe
What our eyes show us?

Danger lies in
Doing nothing,
In abdicating our
Role in society, for change.
In keeping silent at that which
We see, we know, that is ruinous
To society, to humanity, to this Earth.
That is dangerous.
I love this country
Like I love chocolate
Richly nuanced
Deeply complex
Sometimes spicy
Sweet and fulfilling
Dark and light
Made with love and attention
Simply
Imagine,
Nation’s

Saving
Irreplaceable,

Generations.
