America Is Dying

When Kennedy was shot,

America knew that something was wrong.

America tried to deny it....denial....the sixties,

civil rights, counterculture...America could

still make things right...there was a new hope,

things would get better...Vietnam was over....

then Nixon, Reagan, deregulation, as America

started to lose its cohesion...still in denial....Bush

and the wars started again...Clinton and more loss

of cohesion and deregulation of banks...then, Bush

2, and the lies started to take their toll and America 

started to get angry....anger...which culminated in

Obama and another promise of cure....more lies,

more anger 'til anger reached it's height, right now,

anger against Trump. anger against Hillary...
America angry! Polarizing anger and despair...
which is leading to the final stage...

resignation...acceptance...letting go...dying.
