Where is the anger! The rage! And the courage, I expected to see? Why is everyone so complacent? Evangelical Christians have endorsed a cheat, a liar, a bigot, and a misogynist because he's pro-life, God will forgive the rest; hallelujah! Democracy used to cannibalize democracy; please pass the head of state! A cult has formed, like the Nazi Youth, who ogled Hitler with worshiping eyes. Those in charge have stooped so low; that they bow down to this wannabee Fuhrer with their brown noses prominently showing above their pasted-on smiles! If you're part of this cult, reason can't save you! You'll die for this trickster! Chanting NO COLLUSION, NO COLLUSION! Though you know, it isn't true. As for the rest of you, it's time you woke up! Wipe off those cynical grins and VOTE, like your voice matters like your vote matters, like your freedom matters, and pray that they still do! I'm neither a democrat nor a republican, I can't stomach the hypocrisy of either party! As a proud Canadian, I can only empathize with your problem, but, I'm an impartial observer, immune to the fake news, you might say. There's no defending this President! But his Republican stooges, Fox news, and the evangelist elite do just that! A con-man stole their integrity and bamboozled his way into the White House. Now, like Russia's Putin, he wants to be king! And he'll challenge and or change the constitution to make it so! Where is your anger! Your rage! And your courage? I hear some Americans praise him like he's the second coming! And insisting his Presidency was prophesied in the pages of the bible. In what wacky world is it even possible to venerate Donald Trump as an instrument of God? Many are oblivious to the truth, even when his narcissism and hyperbole are so blatantly obvious! Once more, the human psyche's tapped and loyalty siphoned off to advance the goals of one corrupt man. In the words of Jesus, "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do!" May God have mercy on our souls if he wins again! (free Verse) Mar.24, 2018

And these are just the thoughts of "an impartial observer".
