TESTIMONY OF HEROES?

Nice of you to stop by for a chat.

Heroes? I think not; although,

you would like us to believe it so.

Your ambition still rules my derision

for the complicit decisions

you made to keep in place

a criminal of such disgrace

he had to be impeached twice.

He is more than simply “not nice.”

And you stayed silent for more than four

years of actions deplored

by anyone with a care for humanity.

Sheer insanity was not his alone.

This is something you, too, own.

What if you had gone to the news

with all the facts you  knew ?

Would there have even been a coup?

The blame is not his alone.

It also falls on non-heroic you.

THE ROAD UP

Why do words constrict the flow

of words in the mouths of a few

with money to burn.

How are those without cash to learn

what they need to know?

Such lies do burn

and cut

and turn

the truth around,

stomp it to the ground

hide truth in a burial mound

bathed in silence

except for the shouts

of those now on fire

with a true desire

to tell the truth

to follow the truth

wherever it leads.

Such a path may be difficult

but, it always leads up.
