Craziness and Art

Between the craziness of politics and art my mind wanders looking to find peace, but between the beauty of art and the craziness of this president I die But it improves my art although it thrusts me between dark spaces of desperation and futile hopes but my feeling is we will unite with Love maintaining my trust in my nation though it's in a chaotic state In my heart brotherhood survives but in some of my fellow human creatures' hearts there is much blame to go around they are complicit with unstable minds that hide from truths To those political poltergeists residing in the house painted white cloaked in red from the blood of children spilled, their lives wasted caged in cold concrete floors built only for animals not for little children to live or die in A poem comes to my churning mind but my poem sounds irrelevant it cannot portray the merciless evil in their hearts my query to the spineless, blind political hacks is: Why do you embrace and follow an evil and malevolent person? is the price of liberty worth the handouts to your wallets or the safe secure job offered while giving up your principles, manipulating your faith, casting the last remnants of your soul's compassion to the four winds in a racist fervor? You give no afterthought to the damage your negative actions permeate our country bleeds, human values suffer, society and families falter imitating unthinking, uncaring, bigoted people blind to the fact they are destroying the fabric that gives this country its strength Your type of destructive thinking shakes our nation's foundations deluding yourselves into thinking your way is the only way but it is not your imaginary and mindless cupidity will come to an end Our nation will wave a goodbye to you all and breathe a sigh of relieve saying good riddance to bad rubbish; God bless the coming artists and their foresight, ready to explode everywhere in support of every American and those in limbo on the border and in cages waiting to join us
