Notes About The Poem

Hello Fellow Travelers

Hello fellow travelers 
out there on your own,
just checking in 
to let you know
the danger here has grown.

An evil demon monster,
like the one from “Stranger Things”
has whipped a storm of angry rage
and suffering that brings.

Some people seem to like it,
like a virus it has grown.
It’s sites, to have successfully 
seen our government overthrown. 

Hear me fellow travelers,
when you finally lift your eyes,
you’ll see the ways 
they’ve changed our lives 
and probably be surprised. 

While travelers have carried on 
increasingly checked out,
that virus found a place to thrive 
and drive what we’re about. 

A rising hateful nation 
is emerging from their fire,
hard to say how much suffering 
will follow in their ire.

You say it’s not your business 
but all are soon to see,
the next rights they come calling for 
belong to you and me.

Hello fellow travelers, 
just stopping by to say,
you might want to pay some attention 
to who’s making our laws today.
There’s gonna be hell to pay
if everyone just looks away.

You got that right! American women still do not understand how deferring medical care to lawyers instead of doctors will impact their life, and the lives of their loved ones! Aloha!
