The Last of Many Steps

While it may be a dark

Sad ironic musing that

The lady carrying a flag

“Don’t Tread On Me”

Was trampled to death

.

Somewhere on the soles

Of the souls, heavy feet

Drag carrying a heavy heart

After all of their bravado

Caused someone’s death

.

They might not even know if

Their misguided marching step

Was first last or in-between

But I’d bet their soul does

With no console from karma

.
And all for what because some

Narcissist charlatan grifter did

Not get to continue his ego

Satiating petulant Presidency

That riled racism & rebuked religion

.

Not his alleged religion, mind you

Nor those with his skin color either

One who has such a tiny concept

Of a melting pot and how it works

Would rather destroy it then cook with it

.

“Just an observation, maybe I need different glasses.”
