LETTER TO GEORGE WASHINGTON

Dear George, 

I write to you

with unfortunate news.

The position you first held

as leader of our new nation

is no more.

The “mister” you insisted

was to be your title,

one you proudly wore,

has been put aside.

“Mister” President is now free

to commit crimes

with immunity.

You put your sizable fortune,

your very life,

your sacred honor

on the line

to create a new nation

where no man is divine.

Each “mister” can be 

charged with a crime,

presumed innocent

until found guilty at trial.

All evidence subject to review;

no hiding behind position.

No man above the law.

Until now.

The king you and your patriots 

deposed is back in charge.

I mourn the useless 

suffering and death at Valley Forge.

The Robert’s Court 

threw you, your men and all of us

under the despotic, greedy bus

of those as wealthy as you

and our Founding Fathers were.

They do not use their power of wealth

as you did…for us.

They use theirs with stealth

to rule with absolute immunity

of positional power.

They destroy our nation hour by hour.

We can no longer question

the acts in which crime’s plans are mentioned.

Such Republicans have wrought

what King George the Third could not;

The destruction of our democracy,

and replaced it with autocracy.

My dearest George.

Our republic will soon be no more.

Please pray for us,

I most sincerely implore.

WORLD WAR AGAINST DEMOCRACY

Putin is winning his war against America

even as he loses in Ukraine.

Tucker Carlson, FOX News

and the Freedom Caucus

of The US Congress

plight their troth to Putin’s cause

while their citizen supporters

cheer Putin on to defeat

not only Democrats and the Democratic Party

but democracy itself.

Americans focus on the war abroad

where Ukrainians who refuse to be conned

by Trump and his MAGA cons

fight for their freedom.

The war here at home rages on.

Putin wins without a shot, 

funding the NRA and lobbyists instead,

for guns to wage war on our children

gunned down in city streets.

Drugs fund his efforts and continue

the blight of Putin’s fight

in every city in every neighborhood.

The World War is hidden behind

institutions meant to guard freedom.

But when they do, Putin’s army

of the American right takes flight 

and drops word bombs

to destroy the weapons reason wields.

Americans must take to the fields 

to defend SCOTUS appointments,

election officials and elections themselves.

the Republican Freedom Congress raises funds

and pledges support to candidates

who will tunnel inside the only defenses we still have 

to defeat the enemies of our democracy.

The Russian War in Ukraine is one of many fronts.

The war is worldwide. It has already begun.
