The Devil Walks Among Us and Carelessly Upon us.

 Hi, I am glad you are here. Today I am sharing something I never wanted to share. I am not the type that talks about politics at dinner parties. I am not the type who enjoys spirited political debate. My center can be easily shaken because of nervous system issues I have long battled and so, in times of challenge, it has always been easier for me to bury my head in the sand and leave the heroics to the people with normal nervous systems. 
Except, when I look around it seems nearly everyone is doing that...staying silent, staying out of it, ignoring the glaring inhumanity that is infecting our nation. 
I wrote this months ago and didn't share it because sharing this meant taking a very public, very loud stand. It meant sharing my political beliefs which I generally used to believe are best kept to ourselves. I didn't share it because I was afraid.
It is time to do it afraid. 
It is time to speak up and out for those who cannot or will not. 
Silence enables. Silence Empowers. 
I guess my nervous system is going to have to forgive me. 

The Devil Walks Among As and Carelessly Upon Us

The devil walks among us and carelessly upon us.
An orange hellfire fraudster, setting unity on fire.
The persona of a leader with the heart of a liar.
An anaphylactic allergy to honesty and integrity.
The future of a nation beneath his dark-souled feet.
No spray tan can conceal this frenzied, callous manipulator,
Who whispers about enemies and strategies and thinks himself a savior.

The devil walks among us and carelessly upon us.
Backs breaking, bones crunching, wounds bleeding, hope dying.
Earth sobbing, faith fading, body sovereignty forsaken.
A moral schism of cronyism, favoritism, and nepotism. 
When ethics are for sale, the price is a nation’s conscience imprisoned. 
Fevered fanaticism infects the devil’s heart to own, to conquer, to dictate, to order.
A damnation that is Damning A Nation. 

The devil walks among us and carelessly upon us.
United We Stand in division.
A million pieces scattering as he scrambles for more power, 
Souls beneath his feet as his heart pounds for the highest buyer. 
The devil knows no boundaries and sees no truth of humanity and heart.
And as he claims the world and uses confusion, delusion and fraud as fact,
He steals the little goodness “We The People” had intact.

Still they cheer louder because they must believe it's true,
They couldn't have chosen someone so broken to lead this country anew.
And as the devil walks upon them, their bones crunching and hearts shattering to the wind,
The doubt they feel inside them is like a howling gale within.
Echoing the emptiness of promises built on lies.
Echoing the rights lost and a people disenfranchised.
Echoing the tragedy their ignorance has made. 
Echoing the progress so carelessly mislaid.

The illness now is spreading like a virus just unleashed.
Border-line humanity erosion disorder is running cold and deep.
We need an empathy elixir that will take down all this greed.
The time has come for rising up from under this man's feet. 
The time has come to speak as one and release oceans of peace.
The time is here now, darling for you to raise your voice and speak .
This isn't what you wanted.
It's not how we're meant to be. 

The devil walks among us and carelessly upon us.
Burning a path of democratic destruction, a fury of social justice obstructions.
Know that you can fear the fire and strike a match for change.
Burns are not what threaten now, the truth can’t be contained,  
In these Un-United States with our humanity in chains. 
It’s time to stand as one in this inferno fueled by hate,
Knowing no hell can burn hotter than a conscious heart ablaze.
