If words were enough,

he could have built a stone wall

miles high by now.

~

Already been done-

written walls ’round stone cold hearts-

“Fountainhead” to “Atlas Shrugged”.

There’s more to courage

than expressing indignation

in the face of injustice.

~

The heart of courage –

facing adversity with

dignity and some humor.

If we could only

see beyond our “no’s” perhaps

what we see would change.

~

When the sea change comes,

even the “Party of No”

will know the party’s over.

Let us not sorrow,

even though we would like to.

Instead, let’s walk with Mary.

~

To walk with Mary

we must be ready, like she,

“to dance for the world”.

Time and time again,

we ask “Why me and why now?”,

but never get an answer.

~

 Allusive answers

are often nature’s response

to ill-conceived inquiry.

Patiently waiting

for the people to bestow

a resounding obloquy.

~

The majority

didn’t and don’t support him.

His enablers must go.

For now the White House

is aptly named. Its coldness

tries to pass for purity.

~

Compassionless frost

and ever deepening snow

can not mask its swampy stank.

Winter melody –

that gentle, quiet chiming –

falling sleet on frozen leaf.

~

Meanwhile, inside

joyous song erupts when kids

learn there’s no school tomorrow.

“I ask you to judge

me by the enemies I

have made.”  – FDR

~

“A wise leader must,

while loving his enemies,

also hate his friends.” – Nietzsche

Why does Congress fear

to rap him ‘cross the knuckles

like some pre-teen miscreant?

~

 Knuckles and backbone –

the body politic seems

unable to find either.
