wingtip dipped in the water causing ripples, rings expanding
making flight in the dampness of a windswept night
it’s not possible for hate to touch this dewbitten eve,
without shattering the children
kids who have to pay for a quarrel that we can’t pass up
police spray pregnant protesters with mutagenic teargas,
according to procedure
this is what hypocrisy looks like
there’s a big, black hole in the center of our universe
this is what democracy can’t fight
Citizens United and the “Fair and Balanced” hatework
the People are divided
and fed misinformation
we’re forced to see democracy
on permanent vacation
wingtips ripped from the freedom of the People
taking flight from the madness of the hateful far-right
is it possible for life to be expression of a love
our bond in spite of difference is our true display of might

Whatever you think, you have to admit they have a point… Just don’t let Stephen Colbert get a hold of it.

It makes me think of what the liberals had to say about the Republican conference in Hawaii… which was media fluff as usual; whereas this guys point is bulletproof.
