How many people did you kill today?
That’s a question many must face.
If you forward at all – do you care if it’s true or false?
Does it come from a reliable source?
With the click of a button, we’re sending something that someone is likely to ingest.
It may be innocuous and easy to forget.
But if it was important enough to send, there is likely to be an effect.
The commander of lies and deceit was charged
with informing the public about Covid-19.
And his way was to say the virus wasn’t real.
Despite his knowledge that it could spread quickly and with ease.
And it’s not just the viral spread that’s been killing.
It’s the disinformation that many willingly spread that’s contributing to deaths.
On social media, cable TV and in the political arena.
Those in the lead and in the know – Where did their conscience, heart and soul go?
Even with deaths and imminent threats.
So many on the right still lie or stay silent.
Those who’ve been enablers all along need to grow some balls.
Show courage, be strong.
Instead they remain subservient to wrong.
Going along despite the damage done.
Nothing thus far has triggered a pause or led to second thoughts.
Seems to be no path to guilt, remorse, or change of course.
What will lead sane, reasonable Republicans to speak out?
Step out from the closet?
As least the LGBTQ community mustered the courage to face their truth and reality.
If others had one ounce of their gene –
It would be enough for them to stop themselves from covering up the crime scenes.
They would flip and save the sinking ship.
Rid US all of the authoritarian leadership.
Isn’t it ironic that the people spreading disinformation
about Covid-19 and the vaccines.
Those contributing to vaccine hesitancy –
Already received shots to their arms.
And to those under their control – they are doing harm.
In the very States that fully support the Republican regime.
Giving them power and steam.
Falling for their schemes.
They are experiencing a Covid rise.
The unvaccinated, many of them are compromised.
So the people kept in line to vote for the GOP are being slaughtered like sheep.
Deceit – despite the suffering, there are no steps to undoing.
Even when they can, they don’t retreat.
They continue attempts to defeat and mislead.
Not only by what they give, but also by what they omit.
Not loss, not danger to US, nor even death.
Has led them to hit the brake yet.
They continue their goals full speed ahead.
Trump hid and put a lid on the information
that would divulge about himself and vaccination.
Tucker Carlson and Rupert Murdoch – are they proud of what they’ve done?
Now, it won’t just be a matter of people hearing the truth.
Many likely require re-programming too.
The liars continue to benefit from heeding the facts.
As they steer the sheep away from that.
Causing strife to America(ns) and throughout the World.
Their words already known to be fool’s gold.
But many are still clinging, not letting go.
That’s one level of shrewd.
Then there are enablers who are downright cruel.
On which level are you shelved?
Are you lying to others, are you lying to yourself?
Because the lies are not limited to Covid-19 and the vaccine.
They are infiltrating many sections of society.
Striking while the iron is hot.
Successfully sowing doubt.
About the government, elections and America’s institutions.
Trump and Republicans, they’re the know-it-alls.
They are the only ones to trust and make the call.
And for some, no matter the fall, cut or kill.
They are motivated to stick with their drill.
No sympathy, empathy or guilt.
Once their favorites hold, they choose to believe what they’re told.
New proclamations and standards in a re-write of the Bible and the Constitution.
That has been the GOP’s solution.
Their attacks are not random or indiscriminate.
They are specific and strategic.
They attack authorities actually trying to help.
Discredit those who truly mean well.
These are not subconscious, unintentional moves.
They are Conservative, Republican and Right-Wing approved.
Alas, it doesn’t stop.
The Right-Wing mob has been out to dampen the spirits of some.
Hit them hard, knock them down.
Take away what they have and not give them what they want.
Even if it’s their Rights as legitimate, home-grown Americans.
Those continuing to choose against equal access.
Believe the myths and lies that are used to assess.
Other ways that we’re killing Americans today.
Even more has come with Trump.
Telling lies about the Election.
Now there is political violence.
Don’t forget the social and cultural unrests.
And the climate crisis has caused many deaths.
It will continue as the leaders ignore the effects and human kind’s influence.
The list goes on.
And instead of working to solve the many problems we already have.
People are being blocked from truth.
How do we advance when so many contribute to misguide and dupe?
If you ever find yourself caught in a lie, do a sweep through.
It’s likely there are more lies you’ve given to others and to yourself too.
If you ever realize the truth, you have an obligation when you can to stop
or undo the harm that may have or can come.
Lend a hand to right the wrong.
Staying silent should not be an option if the wrong-doing continues.
And you shouldn’t be keeping lies in the loop.
For liars to lie to you, they have to know the truth.
And deliberately withhold it too.
There are those who are misinformed as they are wrong with facts.
Not even talking about that.
Although they are just as culpable, when spreading the falsehood.
But those whose behaviors are aligned with the facts known.
And what they know isn’t spread with their words.
They are deliberate in their sin and in their attempts to ruin.
Unfortunate for US, there are many of those as higher-ups.
And Americans refuse to bring them down, not even a notch.
Silence is a choice for what comes if nothing is done.
Some may not have a direct hand on the steering wheel.
But there will be an imprint of their stance on the decision tree.
