Overload-3
I do not doubt there are some
who deserve to be thrown to the wolves.
I do not doubt there are some
completely out of touch,
scandalously overpaid
in salary, and respect,
who masquerade as representatives.
I do not doubt that many are
cowed by the bully-in-chief,
concerned about their futures,
refusing to do the right thing because
it would imperil the life they’ve chosen.
Cowards all.
Let us choose this time
the truth-tellers, the courageous, the dedicated, the servants of our nation, rather than
the profiteers.
Overload-4
The United States is not the country
of “one nation, indivisible,
with liberty and justice for all.”
That place does not exist.
It probably never did.
That was the goal.
That was the promise.
That was our job:
to build that country.
That pledge gives no timeline,
nor does it define a straight line
from the Constitutional Convention
to where we stand today.
We have been led astray.
We have lost that focus.
We have forgotten
that we move together
or not at all.
