'The Absolute Bedrock'
The bedrock of our society is failing,
The chasms are deepening
We are falling through the cracks,
Into the valleys of despair
Where do our differences lie?
Where is the consensus of morality?
Can we swim against the tides
Before we drown?
Will we find the compass to guide us?
The means to heal
The reconciliation and truth,
The unity across the divide
And all about the winds in the dark night,
That buffet us into surrender
To the inertia of indifference,
As the levers of power swing against us

Yes, those kinds of strange bipolar anger do occur in other places like here in the United States of America, where the president goes to my birth state, the birth of the progressive Republican party, progressive taxation, unionization and other measures that gave people the freedom to think that they are now middle-class, only to find them rallying to his battle cry of hatred and, worst of all, lies.

You flat out have that right, Mary, bedrock all around us . . .
