Damage control, gaslighting, spin
Each day a nation grieves
Should one expect one to reject
What one truly believes?
At this stage, nothing's shocking
There's no more to explain
There's nothing left to understand
One's own words made it plain
The ball was set in motion
Before many were born
It's strength maintained
The speed it's gained
Some cheer, while others mourn
Though powerless to stop it
Many tried and failed
Even those who paved it's way
Have seen their plans curtailed
It's rolled over those who were sure
They could keep it in play
It's bigger than the game now
Though never planned that way
The cost that's been required
To settle the damage done
Has made it necessary
To burden everyone
But in each generation
Emerges those who feel
The ball is in their favor
Its loyalty is real
The ball is no one's plaything
It won't be commandeered
Once it was set in motion
Empathy disappeared
It has so infected some, that reasoning is gone
Rather than renounce the stain
And finally be done
They wear it as a badge of honor
Proudly spewing hate
Abandoning civility most would appreciate
It's hard to stop the ball now
Stopping it would require
A massive change of hearts and minds
Only God can inspire
But what is so ironic, is
He's the first one they cite
As their great inspiration
And why they think they're right
To ostracize His children
Whose skin is not like theirs
And use Him as a weapon
In their ghastly affairs
But soon, it will be over
The constant stress and strife
The ignorance-fueled enemy
Of liberty and life
The fear-based, backward thinking
That pollutes so many minds
Will take its place in history
And Hell, where evil finds
Itself sharing close quarters
With those who spent their lives
Making life worse for others
They foolishly despised
History won't be the least bit kind
Its criticism's sure
Of this disgraceful point in time
But those who do endure
Will like, in times past do their best
To teach a better way
To lead with hope; integrity
That's so needed today
