Elegy to a WTF Moment We All Should Have Seen Coming

         
A morning sun did surly rise          
A glaring “revo-lation” dawn          
And Che he’s not, but there he is          
Keep Calm and Carry On!          
         
The long forsaken rusting sons          
Now finally own their minds again          
And Fuck! to all ya' all they said          
Keep Clam and Carry On!          
         
They fully shocked the old “elites”          
Who’ve fallen softly silent dead          
The center states are labor red          
Keep Calm and Carry On!          
         
Apparently, they can awake          
And see the promised rain is piss          
He spoke the words to gin a base          
Keep Calm and Carry On          
         
For decades told it’s them or us        
The brown or black or faithless hordes          
Begun to see the richest lie          
Keep Calm and Carry On          
         
And Wobblys all a step away          
Begin to see the hidden truth          
It’s "haves" and who they took it from          
Keep Calm and Carry On          
         
A revolution televised          
All ignorance can overcome        
Prosperity belongs to all          
Keep Calm and Carry On          
         
Author's Note:   Before everyone gets worked up, I didn't vote for Trump... and I consider his actions and rhetoric monstrous... but apparently from his "Birther" comments forward he was ginning up this base...          
         
I live in a Narnia of a bubble in Northern California, and I grew up in the Southern United States... SO!          
         
I took - as most of my friends did - the Tea Party as just racially challenged wack jobs who were seething that a "N****R" had become President... Not seeing the real anger that existed underneath...          
         
there is one word that gives me hope... ELITES... we have seen the enemy... and so a sleeping giant awakes... if we can look past our anger at the rust belt's "southern strategy" racial and religious insensitivity, and show them that the true adversaries are based on portfolios and accounts, not skin color and faith... we have, hmmmmm, what's the word I'm looking for... a revolution, and no one has to raise a gun...      
"the enemy of my enemy is my friend..."    
     
You think I'm crazy? I would suggest you watch this movie...
