Lots of Bahs and Bleats
Kiling off the ones
who remember what
freedom actually was.
We're going to be left with
those who willingly gave
theirs up for a false sense
of safety.
Now that's what I call scary.

Dear N,
The upside down flag. A country in severe distress. So scary to process the very idea of it. This makes me think of all the those who sacrificed their lives to get this country started in the first place. Very apropos piece for today. H🌷

People today are so gullible.
They dont even notice when they're being brain washed.
"New Normal" "Social Distancing"
"Mask-up"
Count how many times you hear that phrasing in a day, not from the news but from random peoples mouths.
Im in Michigan where our Gov basically thinks she makes laws. Shes acting more like a queen who thinks her word is gold.
I know they dont teach civics in high school anymore, but um...legislature.

We are living in frustrating times, that is for sure, Nikki. This poem expresses that perfectly. Hope it gets better for you, and everyone, very soon.

I agree. Hardcore agree. I am living just below you and our gov’na is just as bad. Thinks he wears the crown.
I am reminded of all of the “if it pleases the crown, may I please {insert anything you would like to do that requires permission from the state}. *heavy sigh*

She actually expects retail employees to confront people without a mask!!! And encouraged people shaming others.
Ridiculous.
Ridiculous.

I see what they’re doing with that, and I don’t like it. Biden had a press briefing about the virus and mask wearing where he stated, “there are those who wear a mask and there are science deniers”. 🤯
It’s not the job of everyday retail workers to police the public. I give them mad props because I wouldn’t last one day working retail.

I'm not voting this year.
Both candidates are lousy.
I cant choose between shit and crap.

Same. I’m registered but I know Jo Jorgensen isn’t getting anywhere near the Oval Office so I feel like what’s the point. Plus I won’t vote for the two party system. Ever.
