Below is something that I wrote several weeks ago…and I’ve been sitting on it for some reason. At the time I believed that it was too harsh and that I did not want to express my true feelings to the internet. As I have continued to think about posting from two weeks ago, I decided that it really isn’t harsh at all (honestly, it should be much more scathing) and that I can stand in my own truth. My thoughts below, as it turns out, was the framework for a poem that I am working on. I’d say it is approximately 95% complete, or rather 95% in a state of acceptability. Currently, I am sorting out how it should end. I am trying not to force the words…I want them to be what they are, unadulterated and raw, Once complete, I will add to my collection of verse.
Another fresh wound has opened causing yet more division, more hatred, more lies. How have we come to this place in history and more importantly why are we letting them white wash and re-write history right in front of our eyes? Do they think that we are stupid? Do they think that we are not observant to all that is happening around us? They have contempt for us as they clearly know what they are doing and they would rather let fly a middle finger than lend a helping hand. I have a focused understanding that these people are not dumb, they are just sadistic. Our society has lost its way and it has become obvious that it can no longer stand…it must collapse, we must re-build.
Sometimes I feel like I am sleep walking through a horrible nightmare, unable to wake. The fact of the matter is that this is the new, scary reality that we must face. Facts can not be denied, but they can be lied about. What happened to us and where do we go from here? Evil has no conscience, no moral bearings. They claim the higher ground, that they are making America great (again?), by making us safe with unjustifiably murdering citizens in broad daylight. I feel helpless, like my voice is not going to make a difference in a post-truth world. Do words even mean anything anymore? Are we able to hold accountable those that break laws that they themselves enact? All I can say is fuck these goddamn ghouls.
There are two sides of history.
Those with their boots on our throats are on the wrong side. Those that say “trust me” at the same time that they lie to you are on the wrong side. Those that abuse with dominance are on the wrong side. Those that don’t give a shit about you are on the wrong side. Those that light the fire, hand you a gasoline can to put it out, and then blame you for causing it to spread are on the wrong side.
Those that oppress unchecked authoritarian rule are on the right side. Those that love and cherish their fellow human beings are on the right side. Those that offer a hand up to others are on the right side. Those that desire the best for all individuals are on the right side. Those that believe that not all aspects of life should be monetized are on the right side. Those that share knowledge and foster growth for all are on the right side.
