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
