History is being dismissed and discarded.
American souls and hearts have hardened.
Burning books, listening to empty words.
Despite revelations playing out live.
They shut their eyes.
Even when repeats of consequences are seen.
They continue to secure their crooked leaders’ longevity.
Accept those who show themselves as cheats.
How is that desirable in a democracy?
Patriots and terrorists are now one and the same.
Their behaviors interchange.
With the encouragement from the sitting President, “America’s best” marched to the Capitol steps.
The images that played out live showed no violence.
Their chants and actions were just that of excitement.
Those who smeared feces on the Capitol walls came in peace.
The ones trying to uphold the Constitution are the delinquents and dead-beats.
It’s being revealed that it wasn’t just a haphazard attempt at a coup.
They organized troops.
Nor was it as sparse as some first thought.
A variety of methods and weapons were sought.
Still not holding the big-wigs accountable.
Even as crime, corruption and wastage are now more probable.
In fact, Trump and the MAGA crowd still own the RNC.
And they are still plotting for their domination in clear sight and behind the scenes.
The unscrupulous who attacked public servants for doing their jobs are being groomed for positions.
To be given their own office space.
While those who stood with integrity are being dismissed and replaced.
And where Trump failed, they’re tightening the reins.
How many times has it happened?
The right throws accusations at the opposition.
And it’s more to their disposition and participation.
Take Matt Gaetz and his associates.
How they behave and in what they participate.
It’s not just a matter of questionable taste.
Yet, no eyebrows raised nor eyes that blink from Republicans.
Had he been someone else – a Democrat or of the left.
That life would be a nightmare or living hell.
Some say, let’s wait.
See what comes after the investigations are all done.
Hypocritical, never giving the opposition such consideration.
Some will claim they don’t or won’t support him.
But then they vote in others who will.
Americans still dive into cesspits of conspiracies, propaganda and lies.
Even after the truth is told, it’s to those that they hold.
Republicans are now Party loyal.
Voting for whoever runs in their corner.
Many report they are for guns, God, family and values.
But their perception and interpretation on these matters are skewed.
And their priority has been to not lose.
Democrats on the other hand tend to do quick shifts, lose interest, abandon their leaders who don’t immediately deliver on benefits and fixings.
Some have to be convinced and coaxed to register to vote.
Far less go to the polls.
If these were normal times, that state of mind would not have such dire consequence.
But giving what we face, that posture is brainless.
So as Americans look at life through lenses of lies.
They decide for themselves, their fellowmen and next generations.
You would think that Christians and other religious know better than to choose such lenses for their use.
But that’s where many align.
Then they try to step aside and distance themselves from what’s known and shown to be the core.
What the GOP and Conservative leads stand and have stood for.
Straddling the lines – Seems they think that’s what Jesus would do.
That Jesus would use the lens of lies too.
How is it that the faithful don’t give a plea to the GOP to stop misrepresenting God?
Glory, Oppression, Power – better describes their tower.
Where are the voices scolding the GOP when they mislead?
The loud voices that ring to the Nation are often on the side of deception.
Guns, Owing the opposition, Pleasing the base – have been their priority.
Their “patriots” and religious are in partnership and of the same league.
In our society, there are never ending reinforcements of hypocrisy.
The rich and privileged are easily excused or forgiven.
The shackles that limit and ruin are often to the vulnerable and those easily exposed.
Those who have means and power to hide, don’t abide.
We all know, yet many pretend it’s not so.
And when they get caught, they can move on as if whatever, never happened.
They are allowed to do in silence.
As the wealth and privilege gaps continue to widen.
When guilty of crossing the line, they just have to deny.
Their words hold.
Despite the warnings and videos that prove otherwise.
They can straddle multiple sides and change their minds an infinite number of times.
Others are to stay confined.
As a society, we sanction these standards.
But when we get hit, others are blamed for it.
Many hold out for the same treatment given to the top two percent.
That such accommodations will trickle down remain unbent.
And God forbid that those on the right would ever vote for the “socialist pigs”, who actually show more care and are the ones more likely to give.
Republicans, quiet when their Party and representatives enhance the already rich.
They continue to engage in unjust to gain leverage in the justice systems.
Even demanding illegal to secure wins.
Exploitive, unprincipled and shameless continue still.
The Party of God.
They and their kind continually do wrong and reap rewards.
