Desolation days

In theses days of desolation

In times of obfuscation,

Where facts are twisted

And truth is bent,

And so many are disingenuous

And others simply pretenious,

How do we struggle through

This putrid, polluted quagmire,

Of rapscallion beings

Who wish to distract us,

From our path towards our dreams

Simply because they are,

Existing just to be contradictory and mean,

I find those who act like this obscene,

For they hope it will allow them

To prosper from the likes of you and me,

By hoping we’ll give up

And become hermits within our retreats,

Leaving them a clear path

For them to achieve and succeed.

    Here’s how we move forward. We block out the negative voices and march to our own drum. Great poem.
