Goodbye America, we hardly knew you.

On January 20th, 2017, our beloved country will begin to inexorably change forever. Change is inevitable in this dynamic world we live in. But the change we’re about to witness in this country will be that of watching ourselves being turned inside out and slowly strangled by our own necrosis from within. The fear and aggression of a few, have resonated with those that harbor their own buried loathing and awakened the dark rage in them. Enough so that the cacophony of loud, belligerent voices now drown out the voices of reason. And the results, of course will be chaos and self-fulfilling despair.

Those that realize our coming change aren’t overly perceptive. No, they simply pay attention to what they see, lay out the facts and signs as they present themselves and realize that our ship of state is headed into a storm of unimaginable proportions; the storm that changes us forever.

We shall survive of course, as a cancer patient survives radiation and extreme chemotherapy... battered, bruised, exhausted and weakened but still alive. The price of our survival will come at a great price, one which must be paid with the anguish of many now that the reins of power are to be given over to those whose only concern is for their own enrichment and personal gain.

Their greed is so obvious for those who choose to see it. For those who don’t, they unwittingly provide the engine of fear and rage which is kept stoked by the propaganda of those in power to keep us propelled down the tracks to our own mortification. Sadly, there’s no reasonable brakeman on this train to pull the throttle back, only a madman bent on seeing how fast he can push us down the line.

Whether we change with a bang or a whimper is not the issue, as the agents of our approaching transformation are too obtuse to care or notice our condition; they only see themselves in that hall of mirrors where they alone are the focus of concern.

So prepare yourselves. Stay vigilant and realize that when we emerge from this tunnel of the unknown that we’re about to enter there will be in a landscape our country had never envisioned.

Hard to believe so many people in this country are so willing to enable the abuse of it.
With a madman at the throttle no less.
Thanks.
