A Society of Improprieties

Trump exposed that many Americans are just for show.
No need to be or do good.
Our Society no longer values integrity.
No need for genuine – sufficient to be pretending.
As long as you look like the part you’re in.

Back in the day, when the National Enquirer was rising to fame.
If people didn’t crave scandal and gossiping.
That type of media would not be profiting.
Conservative media is under the same umbrella.
And there are many who help them all to develop.

With lie or scandal – personal or political.
Meant the politician was no longer acceptable.
Integrity, morality and honorable were critical.
Intent and motive mattered to make them credible.
That determined who was fit to represent.
And atrocious means wouldn’t justify desirable ends.
Maybe you didn’t like their policies.
But there was no question of their loyalty to Country.

Courts are supposed to be fair and impartial.
But the process of getting them there is now commercial.
Sponsored by The Federalist Society.
Subsidized by the Republican Party.
Adverse to moderate, tilted to extreme conservative.
People are no longer the focus.
It’s for the Judges’ ideological and religious promotion.
Blatantly biased with no apology.
Direct service to the radical side of the Republican Party.

Patriots are bound to protect their homeland.
Care what happens to their fellow men.
But Trump gave a green light to not do that.
Open season for citizens to be attacked.
Those who serve the Country and in Government.
Bringing danger to those working for, or as public servants.

Bracing for disinformation campaigns from Russia and other adversaries.
Only to realize that the majority came from the Trump Presidency.
After the Elections, Republicans sitting silent.
As Trump attempts to discredit the win of President-Elect Biden.
Since the Election, Trump raised 170 million.
One of his pre-exiting missions.
More attempts to raise funds via email after the voting was done.
70 percent of that money – direct for use by Trump.

Presidential pardon power meant for those wrongly sentenced or convicted.
Now used for those who admitted
Or were proven to commit the crime.
Just trying to avoid doing time,
Because they showed loyalty, they are given this chance.
As they protected Trump’s amoral and illegal circumstance.
Giuliani has been doing Trump’s bid.
So that Trump will also pardon him.
The fact that he’s needing or wanting it –
An indication of wrong-doing?
This may extend to other associates and his children.
Talk of Trump pardoning himself, also worth mentioning.
On the other hand, Trump is ramping up killings.
Trump’s Justice Department engaging in these dealings.
Rushing to execute inmates on death row.
Where are the pro-lifers now?
Using his lame duck period to score points with his base.
Ignoring the details of each case or if justice truly prevailed.
Politicizing even this process that leads to death.
Trump uses his power with no hesitance.

Life is not just about the birth.
Which has been the primary focus of Christians and the Church.
How many who are participating in tribal
Go to church or read and study the Bible?
Indulging in the very sin, the Scriptures speak against.
There seems to be acceptance of pretend even when it comes to being Christian.
That is how Trump entered into the fold.
Just because of his words.
Never mind his actions and behaviors.
He was given a waiver.
But this only applies, because he claimed to be on their side.

Politicians and lawmakers not being held accountable.
No longer for the people’s business are they responsible.
Even with continuous and deliberate wrong.
Support for them remains strong.
Republicans no longer needing majority votes.
Gerrymandering and manipulations allow them free rein.
With no consequence for perverse and gross.
They have the ability to move for only their gains.
The power of White and Privileged on full display.
When will Americans acknowledge their hand in all of this?

So many examples of values being trampled.
The integrity of our systems and our People are now in question.
If people are willing to accept disingenuous in others and for themselves.
Then integrity and other values are no longer cherished.
And their absence holds no consequence.
Taking our Society to the direction of improprieties.
If we allow values to become dinosaurs.
We will be closing some of humanity’s doors.
At least then we will no longer have to pretend.
What and who we truly are will definitely show in the end.
