Republicans put themselves in a loop.
They stoop so low to get.
They misrepresent what is said about digging deep.
Not done for courage and energy.
But to bury their so-called enemies.
Ever noticed that many on the right avoid defending their points.
They mostly attack what the “opponents” say.
Republican lawmakers have been doing the same.
While they attack what the Democrats bring.
They have no policies or solutions to give.
Dr. King’s thoughts went beyond the familiar quotes that Republicans are using today.
To defend their words and deeds against matters of race.
Instead of reading history and searching for facts.
They go to the media and sources that lack objectivity and validity.
They tag the opinions that satisfy their piece.
They only play devil’s advocate when it fits their case.
Matches their statements already made.
Although they won’t hesitate to erase for a restart with an empty slate.
They behave as if what came before has no bearing on our present or future course.
Being selective, not encompassing all, has not been limited to social,
political and cultural.
It’s also been psychological.
Usage of memories to avoid the making of mistakes will not be as effective
if what we’re encoding is limited.
If we limit our intake of information and facts.
What we get back or are able to later retrieve
will only expand to what we allowed ourselves to receive.
And that too can affect what we will be able to achieve.
Infiltrate anywhere and as much as you can.
That’s the new motto of Republicans.
From the school boards to the Supreme Courts.
Positioned based on personal beliefs, religion and ideology.
Not on what’s best for people and Country.
Politicians running for office to settle scores, not to do more.
Hands are not to help but to drive a wedge.
Political wins are not to serve.
But for position to give what and to whom they think deserve.
There was a time when tragedy served as a catalyst to National Unity.
But now it seems we only strike empathy in our local communities.
When it hits close to home.
In our backyard and to our own.
And even then, some still resort to place blame on those affected.
Or if pain can be injected to those deemed to be opponents.
Whatever presents with psychological, social, cultural or political edge.
Never miss an opportunity to drive a wedge.
Never a pause or break of stride.
Follow the leaders as you would sacred guides.
When in truth they are reflective pools of terrorists’ pride.
That has been the exchange as rated by the right.
Continually insulated with false and fright.
People only open their eyes to what they want seen.
And there is enough right-wing media and solidity with Fox-TV.
Who are now expanding their crisscross to more dangerous.
As they give their vision of the weather to channel whatever they make up.
Hopefully they won’t cause farmers to lose crops.
Politicize snow, storm or raindrops.
They can reduce, exaggerate or excuse.
But Mother Nature will pour her truth.
And will shower US as blessings or burst on US as curse.
Add improvements or make it worse.
But when we fail because of betray, not due to holes in science.
But cheat and deceive.
If there are more deaths to bee seen, it will again be murder in the first degree.
This would have been our accusations to other countries.
Here we whiten to hide the black that’s been allowed to grow inside our soul.
Believing in the stereotype that black cannot be good.
But black itself is not the cause or the source of harm.
It provides cover to those who choose to alarm.
With a hidden face and less feeling for disgrace.
They shamelessly shine light only to disparage who they dislike.
Showing only flaws.
While for them, solely for their praise and their applause.
It’s not that they shouldn’t disagree with Biden’s policies.
It’s that they attack him just for, and as a being.
They lie and are deceptive about his intent.
They augment his mistakes and diminish his accomplishments.
Never for acknowledgment or for compliment.
Another problem to all of this –
People will be limited by their wish.
Unable to reach beyond what they can see.
And what they choose to see is often make believe.
Denying what they hear, even when it rings loud or clear.
What’s foreign or different will continue to generate fear.
A lack of willingness to search beyond what they are told.
Forever denying the existence of what they can’t hold.
Not letting go nor relinquishing control.
Without accountability they will keep stirring the pot.
Without putting a stop to their lies, they will continue with “truth” that is not.
If they keep trying to sow division, there will be no solution to be found.
As they stubbornly stand their ground.
How can the two sides reconcile?
It’s not just a matter that they are at opposite ends of the same aisle.
One Party has been compromised.
Sheltering the Alt-Right.
Campaigning on lies.
No longer for democracy.
Separated from morality, integrity and empathy.
Excuses are often accepted for the right.
Making it easy for them to weaponize across our lives to keep their fight.
While, the onus for correct has been placed on the left.
And if Americans continue to play favorites, there will be no base for change.
It widens the likelihood for deranged.
As Americans reinforce the making of the wedge –
Republicans will be doing to keep their edge.
