Fascists among us
In the likes of Donald Trump
And his followers
A disgrace to humankind
Yet they live in denial
Gullibility
Prevailing in this nation…
In this century
Learning nothing in decades
We are destined to repeat
Showing no regret
Is what is most troubling
In this modern day
Racism and hatred live
In their violence and threats
Have we learned nothing
Showing little tolerance
What have we become
But laughing stocks of the world
And fodder for terrorists
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
The heavens opened
And tears fell in a deluge
Drowning out the sun.
Show me we deserve its warmth,
The joy we get from its light.
There is so much wrong
And none of it is our fault,
Or so we believe.
Climate change, its natural;
Pollution, blame the Chinese.
Procrastination,
Our answer for everything,
How terribly sad.
“It can wait ‘til tomorrow”;
Is our national motto.
Yes, heaven opened,
Its tears fell as acid rain,
But it’s not our fault.
Leave it all for the children,
We’ll be gone soon anyway.
