Heydays and High Points

     It’s the heyday of the preachers of doom
        nuclear paranoia, world goes boom

     Open Season to generalize with closed eyes
        all righties -- fascists
        lefties -- commie drug addicts

     It’s a high point for hate 
         Blacks hate whites
         Whites return the favor
         Sophisticates choose
           to hate Jews of every flavor

     As for a President who’s made the borders secure again
     and dealt a decisive blow to the loonies in Iran
          Half the country views him
          as a deranged, soon-to-be-jailed con

Remember when the one who got elected became "OUR" president....or were we just deluded accomplices...

Seems long ago and far away, doesn't it? Kind of like when Obama said, A Marriage is between a man and a woman... or when Bill and Hillary were aghast at the laxity of border enforcement in the 90's, b/c 'We are a nation of compassion, but we are also a nation of laws.'... Then they went and broke 'em all. lol. ~ gw

Hello Gershon, I so appreciate your willingness to call out hate in all its forms and how it jumps the fence of race, politics and even religion infecting everyone and everything. The way you sum up the political climate is both darkly funny and deeply sad for half the country seeing a president as a savior, the other half as a criminal. It’s a shows just how fractured things have become. Summer Blessings, My Friend, Daniel

It's frightening when a country is so badly divided as to really constitute two completely different realities. They say Africa is slowly cracking in two with the shifting of tectonic plates. Well, America's already cracked in two, without a single tectonic shift.

I can tell your reader s are ups for far left news. Sad to see that, perhaps they should have voted for Harris who supports Hamas Anyone pro Israel voted for him. I liked your poem. I dont agree that blacks hate whites. This is no time for that told gane, Republicans stll support Trump. Democrats hate him, so be it. His sucxess does not depend on people dragged on news who thinks he is a failure. They are failures. Not president Trump Pangie. Noachides for HaShem and Trump Pangie .

On this we disagree. Overall, I'd say that blacks hate whites far more than whites hate blacks. That said, NONE OF THAT HATE IS ANY GOOD. May hate and haters crawl into a sewer and reunite with the sewage that spewed them.

Hi Gershon, I think Donald Trump needs to have cognitive testing done. He rambles in speeches and said something very strange during one of his rally speeches. Other people think he needs testing too. Shalom u'vrakha

The mob just keeps inciting. Our world always shows a brokenness, but often that is when God incites the fire of revival. Hugs ~ your friend in the South.

I don't welcome the broken promises to help people Instead taking away their healthcare and food subsidies from the most unfortunate Americans That to me is hate. I'm also not for those who love "God" but not His people~ Cheers!
