pre-scripting

Strung to a key so angrily controlled,
unlike my questing music
 
 
Like a movie – record all the emergent images
then edit to tell the story revealed
 
 
Mourning memories steeped in beauty
of deep emotion no other mind will see
 
 
It must be wonderful (even in terrible conditions)
to have camaraderie of community
 
 
Playing into this culture of divisiveness
as if spitting into the face of President Obama’s
often stated hope that we are not Left/Right America
-- we are a people composed of multitudes
 
 
What if our culture of hate is manifestation
of free-floating anxiety in epidemic
and overwhelming degree
 
 
Plenty of suffering to go around
-- it’s not a zero sum game
 
 
divisiveness is a tactic of fascism
 
 
Once noticed we are hated
and hat breaks obstructing rules
Beware
