American Summer

the white dwarf of modern American political power has lost its footing and cools before our eyes.
Degenerate elections have broken their connections with people no longer chained to televisions and radios for forced perspective on popular matters. Sophistication arises, even absent the oxygen of good information, data is purchased and sold with no promise thereof. Media manipulations, crimes against humanity, constitutional betrayals and indifference to abject poverty and misery while banks and arms dealers loot the treasury further engorging the fattest of cats. Americans are hungry for inalienable freedoms and international respect, not enemies lists and bloody conquest.

the mice are roaring mad, and it is high time the cats took flight.
This is American Summer, and we are turning towards a new chapter in our history.
It will be royal struggle. anything but a civil war. the incivility manifests around us, the embers of
coming fires stoked by forces of oppression.

What tools of division will be applied in ever increasing manner.
Race, sex, hate and fear.
Know your enemies by their works.
turn your back and let them kiss your cheeks.

we are on our way.
