A One Color Kaleidoscope

Despite all the hate, there is hope,
though it is difficult to cope.
Evangelists blaspheming God;
condone families torn apart
by politicians with no heart.
Cultist republicans applaud
a President with no morals;
heaping gratitude and laurels
upon a charlatan and fraud.
Now, your vote can be sold or bought
constitutional rights mean squat;
courts rule the Bill of Rights is flawed.
Despite all the hate, there is hope
to combat youth suicides and dope.
There are still patriots out there
who oppose tyranny and greed.
Brave souls, willing to take the lead;
and prove that Americans care.
They sow seeds of love amongst hate;
and help those seeds to germinate.
A racist system is unfair,
but bullies say God's good with it.
As proud bigots, they'll never quit,
yet hate's a path that leads nowhere.
A one-color kaleidoscope
keeps one from ever being awed;
walking society's tightrope.
