Props to the People

While our country is hemorrhaging
from a thousand cuts 
of condescending arrogance
public discourse sinks
further into the abyss
of scorched Earth politics...

All the while we real people
roll our weary eyes
and trudge through each day..

Grinding away
into the permanent mist
of this most challenging existence..

Gloriously oblivious
to the daily carnage
of our out of touch government
that is determined to divide us
