Fools and liars
in government
like never before.
Who to believe?
Who to believe in?
Low times in high office
where the narrative is
lies
within
lies.
Integrity,
honesty
lost
and
never found
in D.C.

The have-nots
left with nothing
but dead dreams.
The wealth gap larger
than the Grand Canyon.
Our American dreams
have plunged into a heartbreaking abyss
between what is
and the lies we tell ourselves
to go on.

Rallies
of hate
All hail the
liar in attack mode
spinning lies
for his blind
rabid base.
Haunted
by echoes
of a fascist past
out of a dictator’s sad playbook

#TheTrumpYears
A trail of bitter tears
burning in our fearful souls.
A trail of bitter tears
running through the heart
of this haunted land.
Betrayals revealed in our broken eyes.
Ghosts whisper of past atrocities
in the shadows,
lost and forgotten
in a false history.
A trail of bitter
tears
all over this country
as our democratic
dreams
disintegrate
right before our eyes.
Inequity is at an all-time high
as you cut tax breaks
for your wealthy friends.
You gin up hatred and ignorance
and then deny the consequences.
#ICE-cold
raids.
No compassion.
No empathy.
Arresting exploited workers
but not the rich employers.
No... never that.
Children left alone,
scared,
crying for their dying parents
in the TV glare
Is this the America we want?
#ICE-cold
raids against
our compassion,
our ideals,
our sense of justice.
Determined
to blindly
deport dreams.
Sadly, there's no asylum
from the consequences of our fear
and ignorance,
only ICE-cold lies.
