The waves are crashing the shore
Whitecaps from far out make it
All the way and then roll back to
The normal water. It makes me
Think of the blowhards who make
Unreal proclamations, are put down
And then drift back into obscurity.
The world is full of these people.
Many are believed and a following
Is established. They become a threat
To decency and disrupt what was a
Good flow of humankind. They are
Backed by Hollywood and moneyed
Men who require us to fight back
Wasting our energy and turning us
Away from the useful things we were
Doing to improve life for everyone.
There is no free lunch. We must be
Alert to every threat which could
Demolish us. This evil persists and
Has always been with us but until
Picked up by those in power has
Remained dormant and manageable
Now we have our work cut out for us.
Do not be timid. This is real life and
We do not want to go over the cliff
And crash like the whitecaps do on
The shore. Fight furiously fellows
Until the victory is ours.
