America Unhinged

Don't fool yourselves. 
Trump didn't divide us
any more than Obama united us.
The divisions were already there.
A hopeless societal and political sedimentation
That took well over two hundred years
of time to divide the star-spangled pie, 
not based on color but beliefs.

If we don't separate physically,
we'll end up killing each other for meat...
Asses and elephants are a toxic marriage.
One stomps, trumpets, and prays 
gets very little accomplished
The other kicks, es, and brays 
opens our door to warlocks and witches.

The stomper and the kicker
Made in America- unhinged.

LOL, Anthony. It makes me laugh and cry how poets avoid things that effect our freedom..but drool over moonlight. Worse. John Lennon. The atheist globalist. Time was, when parties worked together in congeniality. I blame the press and it's grandiose lies. Or Mueller! I know people of both parties that are sane. Themedia gets joy out of making us crazy, Panagiota
