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.

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.
#poetry #TheTrumpYears #poets #booksky #books
Lost in a fog of lies
that has become our lives
We can't even decide on basic truth and facts
anymore
Trapped in our silos of rage and division
A bitter private war
erodes the humanity from our
suspicious souls
A lawless leader
is turning our ideals into hollow illusions
#poets #thetrumpyears
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
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.

#NoKings
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.

#NoKingsEver
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
No place is
safe
from the White House
to Malibu
and every place in
between
Smile
It’s just our sense of freedom
dying
a silent death.

Losing
you call winning.
Losing.
We’re all losing now
with government shutdowns,
a plunging stock market,
crippling tariffs,
diminished respect around the world,
a deadly virus outbreak,
and children dying in cages at the border.
#thetrumpyears #booksky
#Fascist apprentice
no more
Political suicide
played out as a revolution
Racists' hero
Your darker intentions
no longer hidden in a
caustic TV
social media act

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.
