Notes About The Poem

Uss American Liberty

MAYDAY! MADAY! MAYDAY! 
Can anyone hear me!?! Over...

This is the USS American Liberty…
We have capsized in the sea of despair...
coordinates...21st century, 45th U.S. President...please send emergency hope, over...

MAYDAY! This is a MAYDAY! 
We have but a few short weeks of rationale 
before sinking into an uncharted abyss...please respond! Over....

PLEASE! SOMEBODY! MAYDAY!WHERE IS EVERYONE? The fabric of our identity was founded and built and broken and mended again on the frequency of a decent and lawful society, has the country left the whole band to follow one trumpet? Is it......over? Over….

It seems modern Americans would prefer a dictator. Aloha!

It is increasingly difficult to argue that. Crazy times, enough to consider leaving the country.
