Just out of frame
are the movie scenes of our lives
you’ll never see

Just out of frame
We cling to faded dreams
that never come true.

Just out of frame
is where the real story is

My frank case against the #Trump presidency in 10 parts...#TheTrumpYears is a #poetic howl about living under the daily nightmare of the first #Trump administration
It’s very relevant for the horror we are living through today...

With furious action
we stave off what we fear the most
realizing what we’ve truly lost
Living in a world turned upside down
nothing is as it seems
we are wearing masks behind our masks.
Even our dreams are twisted

Beyond callous,
a greedy ugliness
we can’t easily explain away.

All done in our name
in the end.
A haunting reality to face.

Visions of borderlines.

Everywhere
divided,
inside
and out.

Warnings
howling through history,
ignored on high.

Hey,
but it’s all to make America great again?
Never felt less so.
Shame chokes me.

Visions of borderlines.

Our ideals set on fire,
ignorance,
hatred
as a crushing policy.

Visions of borderlines.

Barbed wire
ripped through our hearts and
souls.

Young children
left
in cages,
in cold tents,
alone
at the Texas border.

Families
split up,
hearts shattered.
