Talk
talk
talk
and talk some more
what policy
coherence whereabouts
meanderings misheard
what is demonstrably true
lies flow
with abandon
underbelly of distraction
unable to make
the deal
of the century
fragmented scraps
of unjust reasoning
make sense
to the only one
lacking
in our commonality
trust that lost its arrow
in the sling of truth
collapsing
disintegrating
in order to rise
within a new land
of terror
will we heed our ancient callings
red flags have been summoned for duty
the town crier is crying.
earth’s crust is feeling the pressure
the sea is roaring
tides are blustering
ice caps are splashing
yet
we have our moment
we the people
speak our truth
in the face
of a false reality.
