Some say they are confused and can’t trust the CDC as they keep changing the rules.
But that’s what you need to do when the situation is fluid.
With new facts, information and knowledge coming in.
The CDC has been adjusting.
After giving many the vaccine, they deemed that masks were not necessary.
But soon after there was a change of course as the Delta variant hit our shores.
It was a game changer and the CDC would have been negligent to not update as the science went.
No, they haven’t been perfect with their messaging.
Though some of the chaos started with Trump.
And although he is out of the office, his interference hasn’t stopped.
Some of his active minions took over his shop.
Making it difficult for the current Administration to get beyond their obstruction and combat their disinformation.
As leaders should, Biden leads – not just tell US what we want to hear.
Not indulge US or set up deliberate scares.
It’s curious that the right has not been adjusting well to changes that make sense.
Considering the information and circumstance.
Yet they easily go with every Republican twist and turn.
Even after people learn of deception, they stay with them.
That kind of circumvent is a red flag to sound decision-making and judgment.
Yes, at times it may be difficult to separate opinion from fact.
But many Americans have been slack.
Because even when it’s as clear as day.
Many are still being “led” astray.
There are often sufficient clues, but their way has been to evade truth.
And it’s not just that they miss life-saving information.
It’s that they are being led in the wrong direction.
Detrimental to themselves and their next generation.
While those who set the wrong.
Remain robust and strong.
God gave us the ability to sensibly choose.
Which we are failing to use.
Instead, people stay in one slot to justify their single strut.
Making sense is no longer common.
As many summon what matches and fits whatever they decide to go with.
Evolving before our very eyes.
The way we see truth and follow the light.
At times, we label stubbornness as strength.
We blow a fuse when we could safely vent.
We cross the line at the wrong time.
And we stay in our lane when we need to change.
As humans, we all make mistakes.
But it’s important when and how we step up to the plate.
As a society we’ve abandoned etiquette and many niceties.
At the end of the rope are honesty, integrity and real.
Reducing the use of higher brain functioning and thinking.
Running low on tolerance and forgiveness.
What will become of humanity?
When so many give up sanity for vanity.
We favor the animalistic and raw instinctive sides to our nature.
A strong man is one who threatens you to your face.
Have no apologies to make.
Many aim for – my Party, my rules, my way.
And it’s with fists many now want to play.
It’s okay to attack your fellow-man so as to give yourself a chance.
Negativity to others are not just from inadvertent and unavoidable leans.
But from deliberate doings and despicable man-made schemes.
Only when there is direct hurt or loss to US that we may decide to try a different course.
We no longer place worth to cooperation.
Over and over we vote for obstruction.
Influencers and leaders touch the minds of those here now.
And will do so to those who are to come.
Yet we support their suppression and holding down as strategies to move on.
Instead of teaching skills and appropriate ways.
Instead of showing faith.
Going for the right way, trusting that all will fall to their place.
We set to rig.
Let our fears drive how we think.
Doubting grooms our doing.
Hatred dominates our feelings.
Greed shades our seeing.
As long as we continue along this path.
Our being as humans will not last.
When what makes US humane, no longer stays.
And we allow pretense to prevail over what makes sense.
Not only are we distancing ourselves from democracy.
We’re turning our backs to the humane parts of our being.
