As the American right continues to fuel internal fights to justify their civil and culture wars, the Universe cries and takes a pause.
Giving US a chance to rethink our trajectory that has been to the opposite direction of democracy.
Now on the world stage, comparisons can be made.
Two sets of people, two Countries.
Battling, experiencing grief.
A stark contrast, clear differences among circumstances, situations and scenes.
One still possessing power and means.
The other, well, it’s in the open for the world to see.
A Nation coming together to fight an enemy versus one creating enemies to fight against.
Real threats, imminent danger – so much at stake, versus many that are trumped up and self-made.
Death and loss because of an outside force, not from a chosen course full of pitiful grievance and manufactured grief.
Demands based on selfish “needs”.
Embracing obstruction, disruption and corruption leading to self-destruction.
Allowing insane and crazy to rise and influence millions.
Facing unspeakable horrors justified by a mad man as he targets civilians.
A sure bet, it can be said – which is Ukraine and which is the USA.
Taking the Country and our lives for granted.
As some Americans fight for more, they destroy.
Ukraine is being destroyed because a dictator wants more.
Ukrainians are in unison fighting him.
That’s where America dims.
Americans don’t have the clarity to recognize the true enemy.
Ukraine’s war is real.
Battling attempts at a real steal.
With a true leader, genuine in his actions and to character.
Not pining for a predator, oppressor or dictator.
Who wants to be there so he can line his pockets and inhale profits.
One who is worthy of respect and praise, who should be raised.
A true force to be reckoned with in the fight against Putin.
Not one who is forced on to people and into position.
But working to true solutions, not creating problems with an act to solve them.
Doing the hard work to secure democracy.
Facing their reality, not faking to a false sense of security.
True patriots fighting alongside their leadership in Ukraine.
Terrorists and White Nationalists elevated in the USA.
It’s with their President that Ukrainians fight.
Against theirs, Americans spit and throw spite.
Always trying to chastise and demonize a good man.
As they turn fact to fake to ensure whatever they make dominates.
As they give props to the evil one.
The instigator of Ukraine’s devastation.
While the American right, QAnon and Fox News are creating talking points for Russia’s continued excuse to bomb blast Ukraine.
Tucker Carlson’s clip sets Russian TV ablaze.
That shouldn’t be America’s fate, but American “patriots” are making it her way.
The Conservative juice was laced.
And despite the bitter and sour taste, many ingest, enjoy and rejoice.
Using their freedom of choice and thought to make it their drink.
Though poisoning, they are willing.
As Ukrainians fight and hide for their survival.
Americans continue to give life to their true rivals.
What will it take to have Americans unite?
What will re-birth true American pride?
Not the fake kind that comes from reject, object and suppress.
In a real crisis as faced by Ukraine, Americans likely won’t have a choice but to cooperate.
With these man-made ones, America can still afford to stand with division.
It’s a tragedy – not even a deadly virus like Covid-19 was enough to wake US up.
The American right choosing rocky ground.
Giving US the run around.
Yells and screams so their kids don’t have to read about “Black” history.
While Ukrainians form human shields so Russia doesn’t invade their Country.
Ukrainians are yearning for peace, battling to save their democracy.
While Americans invite, unrest and division.
Wanting to chance having a sovereign type nation.
Watching so many suffer, mostly White, doesn’t faze the American right.
Showing US that in the end who will be seen as foe and taken as friend.
If Americans can’t see what is literally in front of their eyes.
The many tries to warn, only to be deemed as fake given by frauds.
They made their decision – which pill to swallow.
Whose lies and leads to follow.
Two Nations under siege while their enemies play make-believe.
The truth encasing both Countries.
But that’s one of the few similarities.
Because Ukraine’s is being done by force.
America’s is a choice of course.
And when Americans don’t want to watch, they can switch it all off.
Ukrainians don’t have that luxury.
The nightmare is their reality.
Americans straying so far, standing with Russia for the return of the U.S.S.R.
As the American right joins Putin’s fight against Ukraine.
Hip Hip Hooray – Freedom in the USA?!
