Life-jacket free

So much gets by in our lives without our knowledge.
At times we unknowingly inspire or discourage.
But some actions nowadays have been deliberate.
To spite, to delude, to devastate.
With Covid-19 some irresponsibly contributed to its spread and to kill.
Demanding freedom to do to their will.
Leading to other people’s displacement.
Havoc around the Nation.
What some had to live through – direct or indirect links to the undisciplined and selfish who remain clueless.
Do they ever think, someone suffered or died because of their recklessness?
Quick to blame politicians for the state America is in.
Not accepting their participation steering.
The right has reinforced politicians who get into positions.
Blatantly making decisions to ensure wins in the next election.
The circle on that side has been widening.
Americans defying appropriate limits.
Long arms into jars of quick fixes and gimmicks.
Complaints about a lack of integrity of politicians and in America’s politics.
Then exploitative and shameless Trump gets the win.
Instead of working to cleanse.
Americans be-friend and defend.
Buy into his contorted lens.
Even Religion, which often spoke of showing mercy and compassion to the poor.
Yet it’s not what many religious have been voting for.
True news is fake.
Anything Trump and Republican leaders throw – takes.
Many cling to what has slithers of fact.
They place their trust and faith in that.
When the writing is on the wall.
They see nothing at all.

The type of free and liberties that so many Americans now seek are not what’s best for society.
Where their loyalties lie.
What holds patriotism and pride has changed.
Deranged has taken over sane.
Those adjusting and mastering are the ones who cheat.
Because one side is allowed to unscrupulously trick and unfairly treat.
Even with that they are very difficult to defeat.
The Emperor has been without clothes.
His subjects pretend it isn’t so.
Cycle after cycle.

The ties that bind Americans are being cloaked.
And the beasts that divide are continually provoked.
To one side and one Party’s lift.
While America drifts.
Morals, etiquette, norms, rules, truth and values – no longer steer those on the right.
Checks and balances thrown overboard despite the fact that they help keep everyone safe.
People stupidly waive what was in place for their best interest, to perceive unbridled, unabashed, and with no restraint.
The GOP seemingly oblige, appearing to remove constraints.
When all they do is feed them crap to alter their brain and how they think.
And before they know it,
Soon to be in the middle of the sea, life-vest free.
Giving those in the lead more control, lessening their own.
Not only of the steer, directing where the ship goes.
But also ownership of the escape boats.
Having a false sense of freedom because they are seemingly getting what they want.
And the ship is now moving in their direction.
As long as they aren’t the ones being targeted to be thrown overboard, they feel secure.
But any day, that can easily change and they won’t have a say.
Americans are giving up prime real estate for limited space to hang with the GOP, who gives no guarantees.
They charge a premium price.
Don’t even ensure Americans’ Rights but to their climb and tighter grip.
It’s to this, America shifts.
Not realizing they’re having less freedom to be.
As they foolishly demand to be life-jacket free.
