Perhaps We Should Ask Ourselves: Why 74 Million Voted For Such A Vile Human Being?
Perhaps We Should Ask Ourselves: Why 74 Million Voted For Such A Vile Human Being
Or... let ss ask ourselves: Why one half of the country felt it wiser to vote for a vile individual than allow a progressive ethos rise from the left_
Perception is everything!
And both sides have failed miserably
While marketing and promoting their product
If Democrats do not understand why
The votes were not overwhelmingly theirs
Then they are fools__
If Republicans continue to allow 'Trumpers' or Militia Members'
To do their speaking for them
Then they are fools as well__
Perception is everything__
Your truth has no bearing if the visual
If the visual you are unable to control
Is contrary to your ethos
If you cannot curtail or denounce
The factions who claim your allegiance
On your television sets, social media, or the press
Or shout: "This is not who or what we are!"
You will then lose your right
To claim the moral high-ground
For there are no morals
That will legitimize
What your nations' cities streets portray
While violence, destruction and death occurs
Under the breaths
Of both left and right extremists.
Both the Far Left and Far Right have grown to be
Pathetic embarrassments in the worlds eyes
I'm sorry_
But I am only an artist:
However small or insignificant I might be_
But an artist nevertheless
Who has dedicated his life
To entertain, soothe, enlighten, inspire-
Perhaps educate_
For what I have lived, might serve some purpose
Some good_ some light, to others
For I have grown so very tired
Of watching so many of you slide further and further
From the practice of: kindness, love and compassion
Posting rants of such ignorant baseless stories and memes.
Spewing dangerous negativity
Unwittingly creating a most ominous sent _
Tragically familiar to the ones who know their history_
Conjuring images from the darkest days of America's failures
(1860-1865)
When Art, Music, Literature, Religion, Spirituality no longer
Lifts ones society to a higher plain of peaceful social discourse
Moral obligation or Judicial balance to maintain a light in humanity
_When the 'Arts' rant of hatred and killing
Or when religion and it's spiritual leaders guide their flocks
To the perils of autonomous individualism
Opposing their own government_
The very government who bestowed their privileges
Their very right to practice their faith without reprisal
Our youth pursue failed philosophies
Based upon sociopolitical theories so contrary
To what the 'the world's natural laws of civilizations' flourish within
Blindly following radicalized teachers, clergy, parents and false idols
Hoping that within their misguided cultural upheaval
They will find the answers for their nations future
For when all fails
Will this nation return to the same violence
That has plagued legendary civilizations
Before their tragic demise?
If you cannot answer these questions_
Then_ you are nearing a very dark time....
This is not the America I once knew......
"America will never be destroyed from the outside.
If we lose our freedoms it will be because we have destroyed ourselves
from within."
Abraham Lincoln
It is the collective obligation of humankind to ensure the peace and to embolden ethical and moral deeds which protect the worlds civilizations from the darkness. Unim Orbus Unim Veritas
