So long, civility.
Poisonous tongues
spreading fear and
despair like a
soul-eating disease.
Blindness has stricken us.
No common ground can be found.
Only a quicksand of suspicion
divides us now.

All in the name
of a so-called greatness
you’ve never known.
A twisted reality TV dictator
turning all notions of our democracy
into an ugly farce.
Visions of borderlines.

Political suicide
played out as a revolution

Your darker intentions
no longer hidden in a
caustic TV

A quick trigger policy
by social media
with no rhyme or reason.
Something is broken inside of us.
It’s all going to fade.
In lies we trust.
We can’t close our eyes
and wish it away.
We can’t close our minds
and dream it away.

Beyond callous,
a greedy ugliness
we can’t easily explain away.
All done in our name
in the end.
A haunting reality to face.
Visions of borderlines.
Everywhere
divided,
inside
and out.

Warnings
howling through history,
ignored on high.
Hey,
but it’s all to make America great again?
Never felt less so.
Shame chokes me.
Visions of borderlines.
Our ideals set on fire,
ignorance,
hatred
as a crushing policy.
#poetry #TheTrumpYears #poets #booksky #books
Visions of borderlines.
Barbed wire
ripped through our hearts and
souls.
Young children
left
in cages,
in cold tents,
alone
at the Texas border.
Families
split up,
hearts shattered.
#poetry #TheTrumpYears #poets #booksky #books #ebooks
A trail of bitter tears...
Convenient amnesia
reflected
in new, callous policies.
#booksky #books #TheTrumpYears #poetry
A trail of bitter tears
burning in our fearful souls.
A trail of bitter tears
running through the heart
of this haunted land.
Betrayals revealed in our broken eyes.
Ghosts whisper of past atrocities
in the shadows,
lost and forgotten
in a false history.
#booksky #books #poetry #TheTrumpYears
A trail of bitter
tears
all over this country
as our democratic
dreams
disintegrate
right before our eyes.
Inequity is at an all-time high
as you cut tax breaks
for your wealthy friends.
You gin up hatred and ignorance
and then deny the consequences.
#booksky #books #poetry #TheTrumpYears
Golfing while our country burns.
As our economy fades
the virus spreads
the death count grows
and during the terrorist raid
Golfing while our country declines
and impeachment
and depression comes

Rude clowns and buffoons
running the circus.
Everything is a joke,
but no one in Washington
or around the country
feels like laughing.
We all sadly know
the joke is on us,
and the punchlines
will eventually bring us to our knees.
#poetry #TheTrumpYears #books #booksky
This is not a partisan issue.
Trump is unfit.
He has disgraced the office of the presidency,
committed impeachable offenses,
and shown no regard or respect for our democratic
institutions, constitution, or democracy.
He was always bankrupt, inside and out,
and now we are, too.
#poet #TheTrumpYears
White House for rent,
leased by a vicious charlatan
who thinks he’s some kind of
bitter king.
He’s pissed that we
won’t kiss his ring
and stay silent about his
craven corruption.

The evil we dread
is every day,
commonplace,
thriving
right in front of us.
No bogeymen
but brutal liars and thieves
who count on our fear and silence.
They use our complacency
to steal away our democracy,
and later we’re left wondering how we could
have been so blind.
#poets #TheTrumpYears
All this hate
drawn across
all we hold dear,
through avarice
and fear.
Never a thought
for the young souls
caught in the middle
between the ugliness we’ve become
and who we thought we were.
Visions of borderlines.
#poetry #TheTrumpYears #poets #booksky #books #ebooks
Reading bedtime stories
of hate
to stranded children,
imprisoned in cages,
in cold tents,
concentration camps,
for being born to human beings
wanting more.
A hunger for a better life,
asylum from certain death,
torture.
We have become the dictatorship we hate.
#TheTrumpYears #poets #booksky
Tongues laced with ignorant poison
infecting all we cherish
Democratic ideals corrupted on
contact
Fools in high places
making a mockery of
everything we believe
Torn and twisted in
a white supremacist’s ugly dream
#poetry #TheTrumpYears #poets #booksky #books #NoKings
Fear baiting as
policy.
We’ve been here before.
Mistrust
of everything
and everyone.
Lost in the shadows,
darkness
is an inside job
that can consume our souls
and soon our lives.
A private war,
disguised with denial and lies.
#poetry #TheTrumpYears #poets #booksky #books #NoKings
Your presidency is a dump
based on hatred,
lies,
ignorance,
and slick sound bites.
Your act is worse
than buffoonish.
It’s poison,
killing off our dreams
and lies,
as you subvert everything
we believe in.

our government is broken, maybe beyond repair
I’ll still #vote against these GOP monsters any chance I get…
that’s my right and I take it seriously…
still, I am haunted this was allowed to happen
Trump was and is a fascist in plain sight
a grifter his whole life
easy to see
