If you continue to feel safe because you suffered no direct negative
due to Covid-19 and the downturn of the economy.
You still have to live with the carnage.
And if you’re still sold on what Trump throws.
Let’s hope you have unlimited resources.
And an abundance of resilience.
Because the damage from what he’s done will be here for the long run.
Many Americans will not prosper,
They will just be dragging along.
And when parts of a body are diseased it will be more difficult –
What used to happen with ease and living to full potential,
Will now take a back seat.
As there is so much hurt –
Physical, emotional, financial, social and political.
Those who label themselves as the “forgotten ones”.
Many at least may have had a good run.
But there are those, from generations before who have been held back.
And the “forgotten ones” don’t care to hear or know that fact.
They choose to step on them instead, in order to move ahead.
Trump has been promoting hate, violence and death.
As a solution to their feelings of their existential threat.
Assaults on America and Americans every day.
There is damage to psyche, trauma, physical and mental decay.
Attacks coming from all around –
Leaders at the top and their minions on the ground.
When you consistently have negative in front of you.
It’s likely blocking any kind of positive view.
That will be Trump’s legacy – Controlling the media feed.
And his ability to project and get people to see what he wants them to see.
Americans and America – now tainted.
There are those whose minds were overtaken.
Some no longer able to think objectively.
Others still entwined with Trump overwhelmingly.
They will continue to cling to the idea that they are the victims.
When they are the ones doing and siding with the bullying.
If you are pleased that you survived these years unscathed.
Check for a pulse, arteries and veins.
If you’re not angry or appalled by what Trump breeds.
Turn in your badge of humanity.
You’re now like a new viral strain –
One that is less humane.
A replication of Trump, for sure.
For which there may never be a cure.
