America appears to have taken a page from Corporate.
It seems that many have come to the conclusion –
That the smart ones are those who highlight the problems.
Not the ones searching for ways to solve them.
The loud voice, those who make the most noise secure the promotion.
While the climb of the doers and thinkers operate in slow motion.
No compassion to be shown to the workers at the lower levels.
Loyalty is to the higher ups and the Administration.
This type of tier system seems to be in abundance throughout American society.
Acceptance, maybe even encouragement of inequality.
Socially sanctioned ways to hate and discriminate.
To oppress and suppress.
Control, neglect and reject.
Republicans identified that path.
And have taken it to heart.
Even if it comes with destroy.
They intend to stay their course so as to elevate themselves to more.
For power, stay and gains, many Americans are not just in.
They are into copying.
An unfortunate societal shift.
Not modeling or adapting for majority benefit.
Believing that some are better than others.
Somehow they are more deserving than their sisters and brothers.
And that the less than, are the poor and people of color.
Often as displayed, they are the same.
Targeted and hunted by those who show no shame.
So as some Americans assess that their countrymen are worth less.
They are not just diminishing America’s value.
They are lessening their own too.
America now known by the words corruption and insurrection.
Culture war, civil war and political violence.
As people do not choose for majority good.
But for a certain side and group to become more powerful.
One side becomes more able to do and have more.
Then the natural effect will be to better even the score.
Continued resistance and turmoil will not bring peace, but war.
Or in the very least, protest and unrest.
Impeding progress, likely leading America to digress.
Some enjoy that scenario.
But in real life, destabilization doesn’t foster growth.
It will cripple the economy and the Country as a whole.
Why would America(ns) aim for that goal?
In the past 5 years people have been showing their true selves.
Pro-Life has shriveled to pro-lie and pro-death.
Religion has engaged in political, not to spread good and good news.
But to highlight which politician and cause to choose.
People are not shy to use the Big Lie as a disguise to commit sin.
As long as it’s their side that’s cashing in.
Questionable about religious, presenting as a cult.
It really has been an insult, when they claim worldly ways in the Creator’s name.
Christianity used to be about showing mercy.
Enlightening the sinner, rebuking the sin.
Now it’s about justifying the sins that work to their benefit.
And rebuking those who stand oppose.
Stacking all around to promote their own and kind.
Not appreciating the diversity of good hearts and minds.
What do the Evangelists, Religious, Trump and the Republicans show in common?
The shield of religion and righteous in their fight for power.
So easy for people to pretend divine and hold up a Jesus sign.
It’s a harder life to pay your dues and walk in Jesus’ shoes.
Many are in the forefront to teach and preach.
Where are they when it comes to charity?
Not the kind that gives pennies and quarters.
The one that pays the way for the poor to earn their own dollars.
From that route even Christians stay away.
Of that change they too seem afraid.
As if they’ve internalized the Republican lies –
When others climb, it will lead to your demise.
If you allow others to progress, you will get less.
What’s the basis of white rage?
The belief that people of color are rising to the stage?
Why are people elevating the Alt-right?
Is there truth to their belief of superiority and promotion of white?
Many, including religious, didn’t hesitate to take this political ride.
To staunchly sit at Trump’s side.
Even when there was no common ideology that he stood for.
No similarity at his core.
There was a ready embrace.
Easy entrance to his race, keeping to his pace.
Yet when schools put together to discuss the happenings.
It’s against the people’s politics, religion and conservatism.
But when there is amoral from Republicans or Trump
The people’s teachings and beliefs still stand up.
It’s amazing how they compartmentalize –
Worship Christ and at the same time
Ignore how their decisions impact people’s lives.
Conservatives didn’t seek power for power’s sake.
With them, there were moral and integrity stakes.
Elections were not just battles to be won.
The opposition was not the enemy to be fought.
There was a time when they had a case to make.
And they accepted when they lost the race.
Now they all engage in a kind of split that spells hypocrite.
For just and fair, from Trump and Republicans you will have to stay clear.
It’s a hard admit – Either you’re on the higher end of racist.
Or Black and poor lives are on your I-don’t-give-a-damn list.
When people of color said they were scared and were being harmed.
They were judged that trust and unity were not in their hearts.
Then came the Republican way – Bullying, demeaning, politicizing.
And paths were opened for their stay.
When whites said they felt left behind
They’ve gone on to destroy other Americans and America’s systems.
Yet the stereotype that people believe
Leads them to see the angry Left and the revengeful Black.
But who has engaged in mass shootings and political attacks?
Associated with pristine, the wrath of the white and right are not easily seen.
So much so, the Insurrection is being white-washed and watered-down.
What was nationally televised in real time didn’t really happen.
If your thoughts and votes point to these.
These are in the frame of your beliefs.
Then you must be a follower of Trump or a present day Republican.
Criticisms of Republicans and Trump haven’t been unfair or unjust.
Despite their corrupt, their supporters demand they stay untouched.
It’s not for retaliation or to get back at them and him.
It’s because of their many wrong-doings.
And it’s not just the political shifts.
They turned on an inhumane switch.
To which Americans just move along.
And to which we are becoming accustomed.
America – so many wake-up calls.
With warnings and cross-roads to find a way out.
But people keep hitting the snooze alarms.
Not opening their eyes to the many harms that will come to be.
Because of their unwillingness to face the truth and realities.
These seismic shifts that America(ns) keep ignoring.
Will lead to collapse and falling.
With such quick and sustained shifts.
It will be a difficult return from these downward drifts.
