Colette Dright Poet Narrative

RepubliCAN’T

Who wants the lime light and attention focused on them for being an outcast? Not I said the chicken.

If you allow your core values, integrity and beliefs to be altered, changed or persuaded by threats, bullying and intimidation, and you are in total fear of going up against the “present dent,” (the dent that is plaguing our country), then why are you even in office?

This administration is more like Child’s Play. It’s not even “Hi, I’m Chucky, wanna play?” It’s more like, Hi I’m Chucky, you better play. It’s the making of threats and making it understood that you BETTER play the game I play and do what I say. And if you refuse, argue, challenge, debate, disagree, or even have an opinion different from mine, then you can indeed expect extreme forms of retaliation.

So yall, we got viruses, diseases and outbreaks, but guess what? It’s not from the CDC, it’s from the BBB, the Big Bad Bully. And because you don’t wanna be next on the chopping block, and you’re not bold enough, strong enough or man enough to handle the backlash, threats and humiliation, that causes you to be fearfully silent. So what do you do? You turn a blind eye, you zip yo lip and you become a follower and you do what massa say do.

So here’s the breakdown -
If you Can’t go up against the Puppet Master
If you Can’t stand up for what’s right out of fear
If you Can’t do your job with pride, dignity and integrity 
If you Can’t voice your concerns and speak your mind
If you Can’t hold town hall meetings in your district 
If you Can’t handle the public backlash 
If you Can’t admit when things are wrong
If you Can’t speak up in disagreement 
If you Can’t defend the laws and the constitution in place
If you Can’t stand up for the core values and principles of this country… then you are not a RepubliCan, you are a RepubliCAN’T.
