You Ask...

Before the country's back is completely broken in half, is it not time we awakened from our slumber and really did something about the duplicitous course of the White House and the Trump world? The most frightening part of all this is that economics may be only our society's "tip of the iceberg." (Image by Siwanowicz)

You ask,
“what is out there?”
Waiting in the darkness for us to falter
this influence that colors our soul at will,
sometimes fooling our hand
and leading us into ribbon-wrapped offerings,
thinking our will is but a matter of time.
Smiling at the pain we willingly endure to reach the end,
but with such patience
as to sleep while we run,
laugh when we cry,
this abnormality patiently waits with outstretched arms
as our motion slows to a skeptical crawl.
You ask,
“what is out there?”
Beware the masked protector,
the Mantidae of prayerful gesture
blending ever so subtly
into the landscape of ubiquitous ignorance.

And to back a president so un-presidential and ignorant himself, shows the rotten interior of those that would fall for his simplistic slogans and solutions that simply won't work. Many of these will only make things worse.
