A Nation In Crisis

A NATION IN CRISIS…FALLING APART

It has been said that America
is an experiment in democracy.
If that is so—and it seems to be—
this country is in deep septic trouble.
Today, the mad dog political moniker 
can no longer be looked upon as a joke;
for America, in its political experiment
in democracy, has truly gone made and 
is now falling apart from its rabid agents
of abject bigotry, hate, and racism.

It appears that the pre-experimental exercise
of attempting to make slaver as common
as shackling pets today, has forced 
modern-day mad dog political power mongers
to readjust their corruptive variables
to ensure desired collateral damage outcomes.

Indeed, the demonizing of the innocent
to rationalize ethnic-based murder,
has become a Hitler-like tactic
that has proven its “negative-good” desire
that has arisen from this Frankenstein-styled
political experimentation—sick exploitation.

Though most of the rabid “hit men” of the racist
power-mongers are dead, others and their backers,
due to the allowed irregularities of justice, will and do,
remain alive to pontificate their demeaning rhetoric
of coded domestic terrorism, painfully canvassing
a bloody mosaic of a grieving nation in a bloody crisis.

How long America…how long shall it be…before
this nation becomes inoculated against the viral infection
of apathy that seems to have taken on a rabid smallpox-like
endurance, that continues to mesmerize us to simply watching 
the newsy dramatization of the falling apart of a nation in crisis? 
Pray tell—God’s will done—the answer will be…not long!
Wake up, people! This is no damn nightmare; it’s today’s reality.

The USA is not racist. Just the media. Unfortunately, they are the loudest voices. Most people, of all colors, are loving and tolerant. Keep the faith. There is no better nation than America. And no finer people.
