poem of the day November 7 

Easy to see the discontent

Easy to see

democracy failing

under siege 

Fake news

Alternate facts

Alternative realities

Crypto currency 

Total disregard for law 

Total disregard for truth

Everything built on distrust

Nefarious laundered money

becomes seeds of greed

widening the divide between

Rich and Poor

No real value

No gold standard

Just a wild spaghetti  western

absorption of constant lies 

Disinformation sprouting vines of black and white

Fueled by anger

Fueled by fear

Homegrown conspiracies

roll like tumbleweed

where loaded guns discharge

every time there is a movie
