scary over here

Oh, my friend...you've no idea
how scary it really is...
Just watching this posturing wanna-be-despot
whose mendacity knows no bounds...
is enough to curdle your innards...
turn your bowel to water...stinky and brown.
 
Keeping one's head above the waves...
in this churning political mess
is threatening to drown us all...
in senseless foolishness...

This has now become a daily grind...
a desperate search for something...for anything...
solid to stand on...to keep from drowning in the
       ...putrid slime ...
that flows endlessly out of Washington
            ...masquerading as truth...
