Well, Shit.
So, Donald Trump is our president. He was just sworn in. I feel a low level energy today, I am still in my PJ's and haven't finished my coffee yet - subtle signs I am a little hopeless. As I have grown older, and my wits have grown more keen and I have become more self-actualized, I have seen myself as a "firm but fair" person in my politics. I try to hear other people out about this issue or that one, and no longer yell or curse as I did when I was in college. I am better tempered about the whole thing....mostly.
There is a profound tragedy in the transfer of the power and fate of our nation from the capable and thoughtful hands of our first black president to the erratic and unprepared hands of the white supremacist that calls himself "the Donald".
Just a year ago he was a quirky TV personality- a joke, an impersonation; today he is this nation's greatest step backwards into the hate mongering and fanatical oppression of the 50's. We are a nation at war with itself. There is a dormant civil unrest, a renewed fear in women, gays, blacks, and all other style of minority....it is going to erupt.
May God see the strength and potential of man, and may he protect us and guide us through the darkness so that we may rise again as a phoenix from the destruction we have brought on ourselves. We have been nasty children acting ungrateful for the planet and one another. I would like to apologize for us all.
My hope for the new dawn is that we see a well organized establishment, where cars are self running and self fueling, where we have free education from infancy, and universal healthcare. Where we reduce waste on a global scale. I do not dare ask that we see an end to hunger, or poverty, or the destruction of the planet entirely - that is more selfish stupidity from a naive child. I just want it to get better.
