Turning the Page On Outrage

A red-streaked panorama graced Washington's dawn
   Clear lake-blue skies there all day long 
Portland smoke-gray, from tear gas and pepper spray
   Antifa showed its true colors on Inauguration Day

Not a hint of outrage from the government or the press
   It's alright if the fascists are left-wing, I guess
At the Inaugural Ball, attendees donned their prettiest dress
   Masks muting their 'concern' over the Oregonian mess

Hello Gershon … the US appears to be a crazy mixed up society just now. What is the answer to all this aggression? - Thank you Gershon - Lindsay

Ooh Gershon. A realistic representation of the blind eye turned on issues in our country in favor of the "pretty" view. Linda

Gershon! Fabulous verse. Love poems on reality of our times. This will only worsen in all states. People, asleep at the switch. Fake news hid it. I know where to find what they hide))) Making this a Fave. I have great respect for fearless poets. Pangie xx
