it cracked
like an old bell
statutes of liberty
when, from Command’s seat, pronounced
judgments on where a brother takes a knee
while islands flood in the darkness
and neighbors shift rubble
the king’s worn crown
it cracked

You’d like to think he’d get this … and step down from the throne.
Maybe if enough of us take a knee…
Excellent post, Tanya! To those who supported him you got just what you wanted for America – chaos, divisiveness and the spread of hatred. It’s ironic that some NFL owners contributed ($7 + million) to his coronation ceremony only to be betrayed. Typical of him. No surprises there.
Sorry for getting off track – not something I often do… squirrel!!! lol
Have a beautiful day my friend! ^.^
Thank you so much! No one should be surprised at his antics. He is repeating the same rhetoric he spewed out during the election. With all the damage in Texas, Florida, Puerto Rico and Mexico, how about encouraging people to make donations and help. That would be leadership.
Have a wonderful day, yourself!😊
My goodness, this is so good, Tanya.
Thank you so much, Jennie! I felt like taking a knee this weekend. 😊
Very clever and perfectly put! I have referred to him as royalty all along and this is such a fitting way to describe his fate!! ~Anne
Thank you, Anne! It is hard to understand, but it was all predictable. As you said…”all along”.
Djeeez, Tanya. How ‘spot on’. Love it.
By the way, today I will finish your book 🙂 Would you mind, if I wrote a review. Nothing formal, just in the ‘Patty-way’ of reviews.
Thank you, Patty! I would be honored if you reviewed the book. It would mean a lot to me. ‘Patty-way’ of reviews are
my favorite kind. 😊
Ah great and you made me blush 😉
XxX
I am grateful! Reviews make a big difference in interest in a book. It really means a lot to me.😊
Wow unbelievably beautiful
Thank you so much. Glad you enjoyed it!😊
