Fibs And Politics

I sincerely hope we have reached a point  
when the lack of veracity from a former president  
tilts popularity to the negative  
enough is enough  
 
No Founder and participant in the making of the Constitution  
has ever suggested storming Congress and engaging in violence  
even Jefferson's assertion of the positives of revolution  
don't suggest throwing an election away  
 
Realize that Trump's issues with the truth  
preceded his "reign" in the Oval Office  
check his hostility with Obama  
and the birther ridiculousness  
 
How about the claims of crowd sizes  
"watching a video of thousands cheering  
the death of the World Trade Center",
or "81% of whites killed by blacks"  
 
The lies while orangeman was in office  
are to numerous to document here  
but think about one
his buddy Vladimir Putin  
 
Easy to say his personal relationship with the Russian leader]
was chummy and humorous  
but there is a great disregard for history  
if you think that relationship was a deterrent  
 
The expansion of NATO  
the US efforts in the in the Arab Spring  
aid to Bin Laden in Afghanistan  
13,000 troops in Russia during the Russian Revolution  
 
The talk from his fans boggles my mind  
how the FBI is in bed with the Democratic Party  
elections certified by Republican leaders in various states are invalid  
widespread voter fraud  
 
The worse display of a break from reality  
is the belief that violence is justified  
if it gets the Donald back in the Oval Office
Manson strikes again?
 
Don't be deluded I am not a partisan hack
didn't even vote for Biden or Clinton  
Obama lost me confidence in the first term  
please don't get me started "didn't inhale" dude
 
But that will never be the justification for  
ignoring what Trump and his gang have done  
for the intentional disregard of the Constitution  
and cherry picking voting rights laws  
 
I shall always respect a person's right to a different opinion  
but I am allowed to speak to inaccuracies  
to shed light of the attempt to cover politics  
with clouds about relevant topics  
 
Yes you can say fibs are parceled out in politics  
but never have they tried to displace and discredit  
elections that followed the  process of a  
peaceful transition of presidential power  
 
Not asking you to embrace the donkeys
not even aiming to abandon the elephants  
but for those seeking nonviolent expression  
of political preferences....
 
Speak Up!

Author's Note
Liz Cheney and I have little in common in terms if policy preferences but for to sacrifice her seat in Congress for the truth is admirable
