The
growing divide as civility and reason disappear should cause deep concern
No
longer arguments over ideas only a person’s character to trash and burn
Society
is now like a Buffalo Springfield song “There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody
is right if everybody is wrong”
An
opponent used to be a person with bad ideas has been replaced
With
a opponent is a bad person with bad ideas and should be disgraced
Dehumanize
your opponent to subject him or her to ridicule and harm
No
wonder calm minds should be sounding the dog whistle alarms
If
your opponent is subhuman then anything is fair game
From
death to injuries that severely wound and maim
To
hurl the charge of Nazi on Trump and his supporters is the clarion call to the
left
To
take to the streets against an inhuman menace perceived to be guilty of theft
Of
values and perceptions of who they believe we are as a nation
By
subhumans worthy not of discussion but only damnation
When
working for the President equates with not being worthy of eating a meal
As
the hatred and vitriol against Trump is open and not concealed
We
are sinking into the dark violent abyss
Where
subhumans have no rights and must be dismissed
Where
resistance not compromise on common ground is the only creed
A
nation shorn of solutions of any kind to our pressing needs
