Grabbed by the…
…country.
In some alternative universe,
Somewhere far away, safe,
left behind by some
mordant twist of fate
Reason sits: abandoned.
Thomas Paine
a stranger in this now strange land
so desolate and devoid of
Righteousness.
What would Jefferson do?
Adams? Washington?
Me?
I flip the tattered pages of Common Sense;
Is revolution in the air?
Grabbed by the…
…country.
What do we have left to give?
It has taken me a couple of days to process the "findings" of the Mueller investigation--or rather--Mr/ Barr's summary of that investigation. Filing this under poems I wish I didn't have to write.
