Overload-2


Educated. A citizen. I read. I vote.
These advantages should insure
a more-or-less sane existence.
No.
Advantages are buffeted into liabilities
by the prevailing winds of two years’ insanity.
The elected con man
owes his position to
anger and fear, to the disadvantaged,
who bit the hands that fed them,
who embraced the slick sales pitch,
who sold their livelihoods
for a sack of worthless promises.
Jack-and-the-beanstalk all over again.
Who knows what angry giant they've
awakened?
