AN ANSWER TO A LETTER CONCERNING ABUSE

You know
Even when you don’t
At least not first hand
The knowing goes on

Nothing you can do
Can’t improve the condition of one
Who has nothing more to lose

Childhood lost
Should be enough
But then
The living with shame
As though it were hers

Tender soul and heart
Bearing wretched wounds of abuse
Hope only comes in process

Higher power, please dwell in me
Make everything right and comfortable
Although I know it never will be

The one I counsel listens
As I tell her
Other tales of woe
She answers

I will keep moving forward
No one can show the way
It’s finally up to me

Though they try to understand
I have to make it happen
Do it the best that I can

I release the “what might have been”
Knowing I only have today
Have to get through this one
With the Help for which I pray

I put my soul in His hands
He will show the way
Sometime it will get better
But it never goes away

Victim-hood,
Because of animal lust
Ruined life,
A terrible price to pay

You can destroy a body
Tarnish an intellect
Put sadness on the countenance
But a soul you’ll never dent

So put down your hammer and chisel
You will never cause her more pain
She’s put her life in better Hands
Hands with eternal reign

No one is perfect
Look down the long list
Not one faultless being
Flaws wherever you look
Still the cult attacks
Number forty-five
Thinks he is the
Worst man alive

In some ways he is flawed,
But then aren’t we all?
The erudite, those above it all,
With their sycophants in line
Point their fingers
Hoping they are right
Knowing so many times
They are far from the truth

These, the ones with the degrees
So smug in their ascertaining
Are examples of how the few
Can influence so many and
Cause them to believe in what
They know is not true
These all-knowing are in the dark
They are the angels, fallen

There is no intellectual obligation
To follow these peddlers of myth
They cannot be taken seriously
When their bias is so profoundly evident
They are guilty in the highest sense of
the same high crimes and misdemeanors
The hallowed positions they hold
Are being desecrated by their lies

There is no real explaining of hatred
Justification of its outcome is folly
To soften partisan decisions we
Cannot bring on more absurdities
Our president has been blamed for things
His adversaries have long been doing
He has received little credit for all that has
Been accomplished while enduring three years of duress

I think of those who have a major dislike of our president.
They refer to him in many ways, mostly derogatory.
They cannot stand him or his outspokenness.
They claim that he is crude.

They cannot to this day believe that he was elected by
the will of the deplorable, the bible thumpers and gun clingers.
They are compared to the followers of Hitler

He, in the opinion of the cult, has accomplished nothing.
The opposite is true, although opposition by the really fake news,
members of both parties and the never Trumpers
would have you believe otherwise.

The disrespect and dishonesty shown toward
this imperfect human is mortifying.
His words are minced and taken out of context.
There is never an apology when
the truth waves its unwanted head.
He is wrong, wrong, wrong and unaccepted.

He has been cleared of charges by the Senate,
the Mueller Report and still
impeached on unsubstantiated charges
which have not been brought to the Senate.

Still the erudite blow out their proclamations.
They join Hollywood in honoring their heroes:
The Clintons, Gores, Obamas, and the Biden Clan
along with other unsavory characters in the media
and other despicable enterprises

Maybe after four more years,
this blind cult will change their minds

Possibly Baltimore, Chicago, San Francisco,
Seattle and Los Angeles
will become safe, clean cities

Maybe we will be treating our soldiers as well as
the illegal immigrants. Won’t that be nice?
