Increasing Divisions Decrease A Patriotism

The politics of ignorance,
Has escalated...
To become as significant,
As a slice of grandma's apple pie.
With many choosing to skip the treat!

The notion that someone...
Anyone, for that matter,
Can be qualified to run for president...
Because they are hyped and marketed,
As a 'popular personality' is a weak premise...
For all enforced to believe travesties can succeed!

'I can 'not' believe what is going on! '

OH?
Believe.
BELIEVE!

And an obvious leader,
Elected by the people and respected around the world...
Has created such anomosity from those in opposition,
Because of the reality he has tackled.
Without prioritizing delusions first.

'Where have I been? '

Perhaps you've been polishing your idealisms,
Again?
Those same idealisms,
That have been tossed about...
By a blowing wind!

As increasing divisions decrease a patriotism,
Once an emblem of strength and bravery...
Diminishes.
It is not only an economic embarrassment,
People are facing to embrace today!
It is an integrity of intelligence...
That seems to have gone astray.

With very few 'thinkers' who can do anything!
Since those who dictate policy...
Have obviously accepted,
A stupidity as the best representation...
As a symbolism for winning and gaining confidence.

'I can 'not' believe what is going on! '

OH?
Believe.
BELIEVE!
