Everybody Loves You

Everybody loves you, Donald. Here is a list of other things I love: hemorrhoids, dental surgery, traffic jams, trees falling on my house, blue screens, dog shit, vomiting up dinner, lice, parking tickets, cutting myself shaving, throat cancer, colonoscopies, and beets.

Support the Troops

Republicans have never “supported” the troops. What they “support” is handing large amounts of public cash to military contractors for overpriced and unneeded weapons systems and then sending troops to fight and die on foreign soil in "support" of American business interests. How any of them can classify this as “supporting the troops” is a mystery to me.

Negated

YOU can graduate at the top of your class in school. You can study politics and public policy for years. You can stay up nights researching the candidates and the issues. ALL so you can try to make an educated, informed decision on who and what to vote for in November. BUT all of your education and intelligence and effort and sincere desire to do the right thing can be negated by a single bigoted no-nothing with a third grade education, a world view informed and constructed by the smiling cretins on Fox News, and a desire to screw over the misidentified causes of their own life failures and personal inadequacies. SUCH is the problem with American democracy.

Spin Proof

If the El Paso shooter was just a crazy person who wanted to kill strangers he could have stayed home and shot up the local Walmart, but that’s not what he did. He specifically drove two hundred miles so he could shoot up a Walmart frequented by people of color. He specifically went out of his way to kill brown people, a desire supported and encouraged by the racist rhetoric and policies of the President of the United States. Think about that for a second. It’s spin proof.

Normalization

Another mass shooting. We are not only desensitized to violence we are now desensitized to talking about it. What can you say that hasn’t been said before, all with little or no effect? New polls will be taken showing that a large portion of the American public is in favor of reasonable gun laws. Democrats in the House will pass a bill responding to their concerns, but Republicans in the Senate will kill it without debate or a vote. People will complain. Pundits will argue. Michael Moore will make a documentary. And life will go on business as usual until the next mass shooting. Then the entire frustrating cycle will repeat itself again.

There Is A Darkness

There is a darkness. A hollow space in every heart. Where fear incubates. And the better angels of our nature are banished.
It is there I find no solace. Drowning in deep water. Haunted by my farther’s ghost. It’s always “To be or not to be.”

There is a darkness. A empty air among the trees. Where silence echoes. And food for the soul leaves the forest famished.
It is there I find no solace. Tethered to the wounded earth. Decay filling my nostrils. A stranger to myself, a tented refugee.

There is a darkness. A black void between the stars. Where forces reign. And all trace of life and thought has vanished.
It is there I find no solace. Lost in the interstellar. A sparrow in Galileo’s eye. Sentient but alone in the wine dark sea.

I Searched for Love

I searched for love. . .

and all I found was Waldo.
