What’s Yet to Come

I can’t believe how things have changed yet so much has remained exactly the same It’s been four years but... I look at the headlines and wonder if we’ve fallen through a time warp or a hole in the floor or been smacked on the head by a one way door What the hell happened to the last four years or four decades for that matter progress has been stripped away in a matter of days to make a new way for us to pay crack out the bullwhips and light up the crosses round them up put them in chains and send them off on airplanes and forget they ever had names

Powerful penning here, Jerry. Even an opponent of illegal immigration like me feels the chill in the air and tastes the evil in the tip of the bullwhip.
