What’s happening now was inevitable.
We’ve failed to stop gun violence against our children
and only offer their families thoughts and prayers.
We’ve ignored the kids in cages.
We’ve ignored homeless veterans.
We said little when Trump trashed a Gold Star family.
We ignored Trump trashing U.S. prisoners of war.
We ignored Trump making fun of a disabled reporter.
We were asked to believe in alternative facts
and to ignore scientific facts about climate change.
A Ukrainian blackmail scandal didn’t wake people up.
The president being impeached didn’t wake people up.
When Trump said he could get away with shooting
someone in the middle of Fifth Ave. we didn’t blink.
Now he is killing thousands of us on Main Street
while he talks about the ratings on his TV briefings.
And this soulless monster thinks he can get re-elected.
All of these terrible problems Trump has given us
and yet his mega-MAGA followers still proudly
have Trump signs and banners in their yards.
They have no shame and want four more years of this madness.
Pulpit pimps tell us to ignore isolation and attend their churches,
and listen to their hate-filled sermons blaming
gays, liberals and Feminists for our current plague.
They want the pews full so they can fill up those collection baskets
with so many church tax free dollars that the counting machines short circuit.
The preacher’s spew the Prosperity Gospel message, that greed is good.
The churches are on board with the GOP
and their state media FOX News’ agenda.
That is for the elderly to die for the economy.
It’s not what God wants for his people.
It’s what conservative’s demand of their sheeple.
These supposed compassionate conservatives
and religious pro-life folks today consider the elderly
an expendable useless “surplus population”
that needs to hurry up and die to make the economy grow.
If Karma does really exist these, wealth over health
soulless, heatless, greedy Hell bound monsters
would be the ones to lose their lives in this epidemic.
If so, we’ll offer up some thoughts and prayers.
