At what point doth pain subside
Of this I’ve oft times wondered.
Likely not ‘til the time I’ve died
Contrary wouldst be a blunder.

I don’t know what truth is anymore.
Our source of sanity has gone insane,
Their lies are sold to us like snake oil
And we are foolish enough to believe.
Informed citizens seem far and few between.
How sad…
Our founding fathers must be distressed
To see us floundering in this sea of lies.
Who will champion us back to reality?
Who has the courage to stand up to this lunacy?
I have no confidence in those who have been chosen!
They are but pawns or fools
Chosen by their parties, corrupt.
Something must change.
Revolution gnaws at our heels,
Begging us to submit.
Ask yourself…
When will we listen?
The opportunity has been laid at our feet,
But we have chosen to look away
Settling as we always do.
It looks like we will never learn.

Reviled in the public’s eye
Acknowledged in back alleys and darkened rooms
Color, race and creed are offered up as fodder
In this election year repulsiveness has reared its head
Staining our image in the eyes of the world
Maybe this was the ugly secret we needed to keep hidden

How did we arrive on this vile path
Where fiction and fantasy meet?
Justified in spewing their putrid rath
In droves before our feet.
They peddle not, in truth tis true
But little this seems to matter.
Sooner or later this stance they’ll rue
Once their illusions are shattered.
Never shall I understand the blind allure
Of a pompous and childish ass.
To lead the free world with temperament sure
There’s no room for any morass.
Dark are the days ahead for us, a once great and powerful nation.
For empires become superfluous, with righteous indignation.

Superiority screams arrogance
And angers those who feel slighted,
Nothing will inspire an enemy more.
Clearly we do not learn from history.
The Roman Empire fell,
Ignorance was their downfall.
More and more I see this in us.
Obviously we’ll blame it on human nature,
Never looking back at past mistakes.
It is our way…someone else is always at fault.
Offering an olive branch is seen as weakness,
Undermining our moral standing.
Surely I had hoped we were smarter than this.

Words can be bullets
When fired from the wrong gun
Dangerous weapons

Hell on earth has come
Scorching both sand and pavement
Sonoran summer
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~NOTE: As I post this it is 103 degrees F and we have not yet reached the hottest part of our day yet. The projected temperature by Saturday is slated to be 118 degrees F. Summer has arrived in Arizona!
