Cultural, social, political, religious and how we make decisions –
All are now tainted.
And the re-constructionists are being elevated.
Somehow they are the ones that God listens to and speaks through.
So they are the best to set the laws in the land.
The ones to enforce the Holy One’s plan.
Trump, vindictive conservatives and divisive politics with religion.
Normally this would lead to dissonance and contradiction.
Instead, it’s perceived as designed by Divine.
Nothing is sacred or off limits – God, the Bible, justice, even kids – all wrapped into their politics.
No objection from the faithful who are locked to their steps of hateful and harmful.
Christians ignoring the collective need while demanding personal freedom.
And to the promotion of only to their religion.
Jews sanctioning the GOP’s supremacy stance.
African Americans who sit in silence to the oppression, suppression, muting of the truths about slavery and the negation of their own history.
Cubans ignoring leads to anti-democracy, similarities to Cuba’s demise and Castro.
Venezuelans allowing corruption and a single Party pathway to grow.
Fights in Jesus’ name.
Use of his teachings as weapons and holding of the holy book for personal and political gains.
In America, there is demand for respect to, and that people should stand for the flag.
While we stab the backs and destroy, many of those same people, that the flag stands for.
As Americans increase fights for personal and free.
Serve to protect symbols over members of society.
She will not be able to effectively lead or compete.
What Americans don’t get is that people are a Country’s greatest asset.
America is no longer united in purpose, with comradery or moving in faith.
And she can’t be at her best once she’s kept to that state.
As many pull her from what she could or would have become to where she came from.
Continue to vote for those who don’t want to serve US.
But are only for One –
One Party, ideology, culture, leader and now religion.
If you didn’t see that coming, then you’ve been succumbing to their leads in.
And you’re more into perceiving than seeking facts to decide what to believe in.
American society has elevated White Supremacists and vigilantes.
While failing to address racial and systemic inequalities.
That’s the reality that many in US continue to reject.
As we constantly protect the ones who prefer to drum up culture wars rather than resolve the Nation’s true problems.
In America, it’s not the mending of fences that’s trending, but the building of walls.
Not finding reasons for healing, but who to blame and where to place fault.
Many are not dealing with, or facing reality but creating their own truth.
Not easy to refute.
But in their quest for “free” – how can they succeed if their “truth” isn’t real?
What we see is what we’ve let.
For some, it’s been a set-up to get.
For others, they allowed themselves to be led.
America tripped – Americans did nothing.
Then the trip became a stumble.
And even as what she holds dear, begins to crumble.
Americans act as if all is normal.
And behave as if we’re dealing with the same as it’s always been.
But reality will not be bending to match the scenarios to which we are pretending.
And if we face the truth we should be versed –
Ignoring a problem often makes a situation worse.
Do people realize that the collapse of the condominium in Florida at Surfside, didn’t happen over-night?
There were a series of doings and not doing that brought the building to that state.
What and when we learn from retrospect is too late.
Shouldn’t people know, by not repairing and attending to America’s weakened and weathered infrastructure, there is catastrophe in the works?
And it’s not just to buildings and bridges.
It’s to relationships and the quality of life that citizens are living.
But often we are privy to the previews, and ignore what is to come.
Hindering our chances at being prepared and finding effective solutions.
Americans have been in that mode – quick turnarounds from what was known and learned.
How many second-chances need to pass before we stay to a recovery that lasts?
We’ve already witnessed the trips and stumbles.
We’re into the tremors, rumbles, grumbles and crumbles.
Alas, how much more time do we have before there’s an all-out collapse?
