Many are standing firm to their politics.
While virtues, discipline and true religious teachings are taking a hit.
They put their trust in, and are expecting loyalty from people who openly lie, deceive and continually shift.
Whose moving targets are distracting and setting people adrift.
Without life lines, many of them will sink.
That’s where the right has gone wrong.
We must make that distinction.
As a society that is where we aren’t in unison.
Some choosing to step away from paths illuminated with human decency and dignity.
Those that will lead to better understanding, tolerance and empathy.
As lines of togetherness fade.
Common sense, common ground and common goals are being erased.
Full screen does not show heart.
We freely choose that which will drive US apart.
Just as we’ve done with rules of law, justice and equality.
We are picking and choosing to criminality and accountability.
With all of this our freedom will be less of a guarantee.
If we deny responsibility as we voice.
Reject that there are consequences to our choice.
What comes next would be our fault.
And of that many will still be ignorant.
Sadly by not acknowledging – we have the power but not the will when it comes to preventing.
We will be the cause of America’s fall.
Yes, truth can bring US pain.
And as we attempt to face what ails, we may not get the ease or relief that we crave.
But the alternative can be worse.
Repressing truth can serve US like a curse.
We are prone to repeat mistakes.
We may be led to decisions we may not otherwise make.
We are changed to the core when we decide it’s not worth it to live with truth any more.
We will become more barbaric as we normalize, not seeing with humane eyes.
And as we permit people to lie about who they are and what they stand for.
Still raise them and place them on pedestals.
Allow them to build their wall and write on it.
Getting people to buy into and profit.
They say it’s to keep the riff-raffs out.
But when it comes to their push and shove.
How will they choose to define you?
As they rise, so will child poverty and food insecurity.
Those who have, may still have a chance to get.
But when the GOP chooses to restrict, we know it won’t be to the top two percent.
Any day our status could change.
And America cannot be safe with so many Americans being displaced.
If we continue on this road, our domestic fights will be solidified.
In the mean-time we strengthen our true enemies.
They will be the ones feeling ease and relief.
Benefiting and gaining traction as we continue to our self-destruction.
Reinforcing obstruction, corruption and eruption.
The American right, extending their leadership’s power to beyond what should be allowed.
Can they really stand proud and admit that they desire some of the unspeakable acts that their leaders accept and permit?
The trades being made are suspect and their justifications are thin.
What they are surrendering compared to what they get in return.
What they have to lose, so much more than is earned.
When you have to dig below the surface to get to the truth, it’s not the kind of work people easily and willingly do.
To avoid, they would even accept being lied to.
It’s easy to nod and agree when you’re driven by emotion.
It takes time and energy to sift through all of the commotion.
Americans have shown a lack of tolerance, patience and discipline.
Their choice is often for the easy spin, a quick fix – That’s when they’re in.
So those astute at influencing and mind-bending – Realizing that some Americans can be easily fooled, get confused or want to be led.
Hold to those they think will butter their bread.
They stay stubborn, irrational and illogical.
Shutting down any attempts at discussion.
Being absent from reality, what does that achieve?
The deceivers are often the beneficiaries.
So take a hard look at yourself and for who you vote.
Many of the GOP have already changed their insignia and coats.
The American right has shown US who they are and where they want US to be.
Obviously, a vote to any of them is for making their fantasies real.
Yet they still succeed to deceive.
The power of deception is not just being given to the leaders on the right.
It’s held tight by those who give the right might.
But when reality hits there will be no disguise.
The deceivers won’t be the only ones who will get hurt from the lies.
All in US will be paying the price.
