Minnesota Flame.

I have no words
For the death of democracy.
I have no words
For fear on the streets.
I have no words
For the death of two democrats
I have no bandage
For the darkness they met.

I only have sadness
For the loss of their lives.
For their wives and their friends
And this unending cost.
I have no words for the bullets
And beatings
For these people shot down
And the breath they have lost.

I have no words
For these demons in power.
But watch for the hour
When our truth is a spear.
Listen, oh listen
To the gathering force
To sweep away darkness
To cast away fear.

Justice, oh justice . . .
How calm comes the calling.
Like rolling stones falling
From down off the hills.
The will of the people
From off every corner.
The people are coming
To shake up the hill.

    Trump warned America what a second term would be like and unfortunately there is a hard core of at least thirty per cent of the US population who have agreed to give him free reign. Partly as a backlash against two terms of Obama, Trump said he wasn’t even American. Bit rich for the offspring of German and Scottish immigrant stock. Much as I loathe Trump and all the ignorance and bigotry he represents, I blame the sycophants who actually hate him yet pretend not to. People like Tucker Carlson, JD Vance and Marco Rubio. They are the real problem.

    Hi Other Jude, thanks for the feedback. I value your comments and thanks for taking the time.

    in a logical world I could see this ending badly for the current administration, but we are living in in an unpredictable time.

    in the long run this political schism might result in stringer local government with community involvement, for the better.

    we could do with that here, beyind politics and division. I still live in hope.

    Good Luck for now Jude
