Breaking the silence
I avoid discussing politics and religion.
Not because I am indifferent or uninterested,
they're both rabbit holes I care to visit but on my own.
My polite silence seems no longer sustainable.
Too many people prove content to casually wave goodbye
to democracy while insanity takes the helm.
There's no hiding the direction where things are going
and there's no turning back the hands of time...
This Titanic is a speedboat headed straight to a big old brick retainer wall.
