The horror in America continues today
begun in fear, ending in suffering and death
while those in power gloat
without conscience, humility
integrity, courage, or love.
What have we left but to resist
to assuage the guilt we have
that we did not do enough
to stop this madness?
Now, we have no other choice.

Today, our country inaugurated a child-fool for President – a malicious, self-serving lying narcissist who has no concern but for himself. I believe we, our country, and the world will pay an enormous price for our folly.

I can’t click like, Tom, because I’m too scared for my neighbours to the south. Thinking of you and all my American friends today.

Understood. It is scary. I have to use my words carefully and well to navigate these dark days if only to manage my own inner life. Facebook and other social media doesn’t provide me the same needed outlet.
