False security
Fanaticism disguised
In propaganda
Confirming the masses fears
They so skillfully crafted

Buzzing in my ears
Smell of flowers surrounds me
Humble bumble bee

Muddled thoughts and sour mood,
So unlike for me to brood.
.
What and why I do not know,
Whilst I wait for it to go.
.
Twist of fate or slight of hand,
Either one would sure be grand.
.
To cheer me up and make me smile
Releasing me from this cursed trial.
.
But alas today it seems to be
Another day without much glee.
.
Clouds of pitch and torrential rains
Dampen my spirit and fog my brain.
.
Sure I know this too shall pass
For gloom this dark cannot last.
.
Until then most sullen I’ll be,
Awaiting the key that sets me free.

Honor among thieves
Missing from our politics
The lies keep coming

Corrupt righteousness
Acting with omnipotence
Is pure ignorance
Destroying lives without shame
Leaving ruin in its wake

A vicious mistress
Blood red with sharpness of spine
How thirsty the rose

Look what I’ve become
Politics made me rigid
Intolerant me
~
Opposing views annoy me
Bringing out my darker side
~
And I have to say
I don’t like it one little bit
It disappoints me

Freedom of speech hurts
When offered with hate in mind.
Pious hypocrites,
You hide behind religion
Twisting the words of your God!
What would Christ have done!
He’d overturn your tables
And dump your self righteous coins
Like the vile money changers in your book
That’s what comes to mind
In the end, who will be judged
You or those you persecute?
Perhaps a look in the mirror is in order.

Bitterest of pills
I swallowed without consent
And now I’m choking.
With every day that passes
I pray for civility
Only to suffer
The pains of disappointment.
Will I ever learn…
I doubt that I ever will,
But there’s no harm in hoping.
Trying to temper
My passion for politics,
Where lies don’t matter,
Compassion signals weakness
And right and left never meet.

Quoting chapter and verse from god knows what imaginary Bible, you condemned the innocent to eternal damnation through the screeching of your megaphone. Still under the banner of the rainbow they marched defiantly with smiles on their faces and love in their hearts for you and all in attendance.
Could it be that this is more virtuous in the eyes of Christ than the hate that spews from your blasphemous mouth. Maybe next time you should take the time to read your precious New Testament and ask yourself…
What would Jesus do?
Gives you food for thought now doesn’t it?
