It won’t be enough.
I am sure.
Inconvenient facts are such a bore.
Unless…
and this is just a guess…
you love our country more;
and loving
opens the closed door
upon considering
what is in store
if justice is denied,
just to save your pride
and the story you tell to justify
the twists and turns
of so many lies.
One can only hope it is true
that we can count on you.
Your country needs you.
As do I
to keep the temperature down,
calm the storms,
and grow democracy
in rows just and orderly.
Freedom dies too easily
when weeds are allowed
to grow un-fact-checked.
The forecast tells us
four counts must be enough.
