trembling before an almighty wave
loss of life shakes souls
to the core
the story of defeat and disaster
will fall upon the pages of lore
I see before me the crushing roar
of despotic and disillusioned decadence
the masses are awash in it
for to them ignorance is bliss
they would rather be loud
than be wrong
they would rather be murderers
in the throng
than crucified for standing out
alone
puppet strings from the left
cast a shadow on the right
the lines of civility and treason are crossed
we are forced to castrate our truth
and speak only the lies the deceivers
tell us to write
it is not about Trump
or Clinton
it is about the freedoms written
before either were given
the breaths they partake
it is about the Patriots
who stormed city and state
to raise their own flag
and that is what we celebrate
Hillary seeks approval
from minorities to further an agenda
of government intervention in life
marriage
and birth
whereas Donald is concerned
with putting America first
top that
who can rival with unbridled passion
for a fellow countryman?
who can fathom the passion of brotherhood
deciding an election?
for America chose right
in choosing their next leader
it chose itself
(Despite being pro-Trump throughout the campaign, I have to surprise everyone with the reality that I too don’t believe he was the right man. That was Ted Cruz. But the Republicans dragged their feet, like they do about everything that maters, and we wound up with an idiot leading this country. Anyway, regardless of who’s leading us, I need to remind my fellow Americans that this country was great long before him, and will be after him…as long as we remember who we are. Don’t fight for what you believe to be right, fight for what is right. This country was founded upon disagreement and dissension, so don’t resent those that seem to take that approach. Respect other’s opinions. Trump didn’t make this country terrible, he won’t make it extraordinary. That is up to us, the people. If we want a great country, we must want to do great things. We must want more than what’s been offered, and we must be willing to die for it. Our fathers did, and we are here because they did.)

You are very right. Its a shame to see all these people reverting back to times we were working hard to get out. Just recently, I had shared some photos someone else had taken on Facebook of all the vandalism happening to our historical statues and the explanation of how this person felt was its terrible to see people doing this. These are things in our history that show us where we were and how far we have come. Unfortunately, I had a white supremacist on my friends list respond with the opposite reaction. It took so much effort in me not to reply and avoid starting a political war. But everything you have said is very much something I agree with. If only the media would stop getting involved and lesson this narrow-mindedness of the people who watch

You’re absolutely right. And good on you not to be reactionary. Nothing good ever comes out of that.
