the words of fiction jarring
his words were laced with
expletives
but the invective spot on
the state or our nation as
it is
the dream remaining
but America is broken
lost, wallowing,
in greed and self-loathing
lost in the muck
the mire of our fiction
that we are the greatest,
exceptional as a nation
we have fallen prey
to our own good fortune
believing the lies
of our own creation
I love her but she is broken
I cry for my children
living in a world where we
are
lagging behind the nations
not caring for each other
dividing our neighbors
haves and have nots
sharing nothing in common
We may once have been
the light upon the hill
but we are living in the
shadow
of what might have been
