Appalling News

Nonsense from the folks on the Right

Continues to plague us every day.

It's as though we're all on a stage,

Caught in the midst of a nihilist play.

 

A Texas school administrator

Told her staff to interfuse

Books about the Holocaust

With books containing opposing views!

 

Here's what that means: if they have books

About the Holocaust on their racks,

Opposing books must be included,

Or Holocaust books must be given the ax.

 

When going in that direction, people

Are treading on dangerous territory,

For when we talk of the Holocaust,

There are NOT two sides to the story.

 

Other appalling news: Trump

Is coopting the GOP

By taking it hostage so he can secure

His role as a future nominee.

 

All Republicans who fail

To push his giant election lie

When they run in future races

Are going to have to say bye-bye.

 

If they don't obey his command,

He'll tell people not to vote.

That will hurt the Republicans,

And he will just sit back and gloat.

 

There's something we must understand:

The soul of our nation is in peril.

All it takes is a little poison

To ruin the water that fills a barrel.

Politics are hard to understand, when I think of our nation all i see it as, how it is going downhill.
This is intriguing.....

Yes, it's very sad. Greed, ego, mistrust, power, irresponsibility seem to be getting the upper hand.

The only way to stay happy is to stay away from politics altogether. I am going to have to wean myself away from the news for fear it is damaging my health. Topical write Bob. Politics injures the health of sane people.

I know it is hard to take sometimes, but if we do not keep up with what is happening around us, we could suffer even more in the long run. Writing about it helps me maintain my sanity.

I have periods where I abstain from the news and then go back to it. It ain't easy is it? We've all got to deal with it in our own way. Funnily enough I've just written one with a political slant too.
