Notes About The Poem

             IN AND OF A NATION IN ANOTHER CRISIS

 

It has often been said, “America is an experiment in democracy.”

If this is so—and it seems to be—the nation is in deep septic trouble.

Today's mad dog-political moniker can no longer be considered a joke;

For America, in its present day political experiment in democracy, 

Has truly gone mad—tearing the nation apart—due to today’s POTUS,

And his chosen agents of abject bigotry, hate, racism, and inequality:-

Indeed, the demonizing of the innocent to rationalize ethnic-based injustice,

Has become a Hitler-like tactic that has proven its negative-good desire

In gaining power in a modern-day Frankenstein-styled political exploitation:-

Today’s rabid hit men/women are no strangers, and their numerous backers—

In allowed constitutional irregularities—freely carry out actions of injustice

And coded domestic terrorism, painfully canvassing a demonic mosaic 

Of a once proud nation, now politically grieving in a demeaning crisis:- 

How long, America, shall it be before this nation becomes inoculated against 

The viral infection of apathy that has taken on a corona-like endurance,

Mesmerizing us with daily Breaking News streams of a falling nation?

Pray tell—God’s will being done—the answer will truly be, “Not long!”

May we soon wake up—all of us—with amazing grace, realizing that 

What’s happening here today, is a no-soon-to-go-away nightmare!

Rather, it is a living reality of our modern-day Babylonian tribulations:-

Thus, in enlightening awareness, let us be in divine wisdom’s guidance;

And in sincere labors of hope, let us now, forever be spiritually energized

In our renewed pursuit to ensure—as in the past—the resurrection of justice:

As in the past, let’s make it clear that for every Babylon, there’s a New Jerusalem:-
