Ventilating Truth: Breathing…

 

If ever we needed to ventilate,

it is now…the thickening tragedy

of lies have become too heavy

for the respiration of living truth…

 

Indeed…the dire situation

has reached lunging capacity

and the alveoli of reality

are sparking gut-wrenching

diarrheic retribution…

 

Breathe people…breathe…

check the yellowing mane…

strings of manipulation pulling

thin loose-lips of a sinking ship…

 

Breathe people…breathe…

the corona of truth shines

its bright light of truth…glowing

around the dark moon of deceit

of Americanism’s tragic turn…

 

Be mindful… people …scapegoats

come and go…in God, we must trust…

rather than loaning our sacred lives

to ill-fated government iniquities…

 

As believers—in the Lenten resurrection—

let us be about the business of resuscitation

of our beloved dying nation—yes …ours—built

by the blood-brick masonry of our Ancestors…
