Silence

Silence

Means we care

Means we understand

Means we owe a lot to the nurses and doctors

Who may have to pull the plug on another virus victim

As we pull the ribbon on the bow around a hopefully small family celebration.

Silence

This Christmas

Allows us pause and to remember

Allows us to never forget the protection

Our dedicated first responders have afforded us

Enabling our trust and dependency to never wane

Silence

This Holiday

Can be exercised over the dinner table

Can be exercised over the gifts we're able to open

Can be exercised with a quiet and simple remembrance of freedom

This country still represents through all the corruption and derelict of leadership duty

Silence

On the days ahead

Could be our thank you to irony

As the Chosen One of 2016 fades away

To another golf course for further abuse of our tax dollars

All while we patiently await the upcoming sound of sanity’s calm

Silence

Is the reward

For those who are thankful

To not be hearing more negative words

To be able to bow one’s head in reverence for the freedom we still have

Silence

However

Should awaken quickly

When the oath of office is taken

By the next President of the United States

The man we the people chose to dig us out from the rubble

The four years of ego-infested destruction of our Constitution

Silence

The sound of one hand clapping

As we wave goodbye to the fading darkness of the past
