It seems to me
That America has voted
To remain on the side
Of Jesus and not
Christianity Christianity is what
People think that Jesus
Means whereas standing up
For the old the
Infirm the minorities and
The rights of others
Is what Jesus means
Democracy has stood up
To the fascist agenda
We still remain free
I’m coming to terms
With so many things
I’m tossing things out
And tossing things off
Because I know that
Whatever is coming next
Requires me to be
Just be and be
Just me just me
Just me being me
I am Marley free
From boxes I am
Pandora free from furies
And I am Prometheus
Free from his chains
I am finally free
From the one ghost
That’s been haunting me
And like my friends
Above now that we’re
No longer bound what
Might we have learned
That mistakes no matter
How big or small
Were all just choices
We must take responsibility
For lessons befallen us
If we are ever
To move past them
And out it came
Like lava from a
Freshly opened fissure spewing
Words and things that
I never knew existed
Until I actually spoke
Years of bridled anger
Of enough is enough
Of the arguments I
Never made of the
Goodbye I never said
Because you left you
Left you left me
Holding all of this
Well now it’s yours
There always was goodness
When we were together
But apart tragedy struck
Both of us differently
And now rather than
Comparing similarities which complimented
Like salt pepper espresso
Sugar Pinot and ribeye
We’re comparing our misfortunes
Stacking one against the
Other trying to see
Who has suffered most
This is what love
Looks like amongst the
Decayed and the dying
