The devil is strong, don’t get me wrong—
and we humans are wise not to ever
judge other humans.
But stating truth is a good first step,
and though we’ve had corrupt and sinful
humans in “office” before—
(CIA killing people covertly, locking
up documents in government omerta,
pretending “democracy…”
The devil runs a lot of what we do—
wide the path to destruction, and many
people on it!)

But there is no excuse for the rise of
a KKK, Hitler-style mein Trumph red-faced
hater of a racist
in the highest executive office of this
often corrupt government. Often off,
yes, but usually striving
until the hatred for the nation’s first
black president rose among the white
type, say “elites,”
and the misogynistic, ignorant ultra-white
wing tearing town a woman out of hand
as not “military” tough…
“We hate Hillary” turned by Russian bots
and linking hands with neo-Nazis into
the Donald Trump platform.
His dad, Fred Trump, was arrested for
fighting with the KKK against those damned
Catholic New York cops.
***
It is tempting to be hateful and judgmental
at hate and judgment, but I will refrain, pray
for Trump and
all confused, racist people. People who
often were raised wrong, with lies
all around them.
The lies come from hard times, are a defense
mechanism against a real or perceived
block to one’s way of life.
Donald’s dad faced what he faced, being
German when he was—was he hiding
his Nazi card, making
a habit of lying, saying they were “Swedish”
to keep the money coming in as Immigrants
to America?
Did Donald see those lies, absorb them, become
a liar, develop defenses about who he was and
where he was from?
Was there a deep down and low inferiority
complex that created Hitler? Did that same
inferiority create Trump?
Give Hitler credit for honesty, he was out of the
closet, an obvious violent racist—while Trump
harbors hate in
secret waters, stirred up by certain reporters
and probes at certain times. “Take a knee”
slave and be whipped;
“Jews will not replace us” from “good people,”
the Confederate monuments are our culture
and history,
Never mind Heather Heyer, or that hate
produced a murder: “We must preserve
our racist culture,”
Trump seems to say, from a stolen seat—
one sold out by Republicans to any candidate
that could Hillary beat.
Forget morals, forget effort, forget progress,
and world peace. (That could be a Twitter
bio blurb for CIA,
but I was at first thinking about Republicans
like my aging father now passed, who was duped
into a Trump vote.
A racist vote. The vote for hate. The vote stirred
up by people’s hatred for non-white advance,
feeling “replaced”
by superior education in non-white speakers,
pundits and politicians. “Women should know
their place,” speaks Ignorance
and Trump’s every other word a lie to
keep his dad’s secrets safe. It’s okay to admit
you’re a Nazi, Donald—
and I’ll tell you why:
Nazis sprung from the first World War, a horrible
Hell of a place. Violence, death, insanity and
a crippling treaty
lacking benevolence or thought toward
Germany’s innocent children, growing up
in the 1920’s while
we got drunk and flapper-danced our
way to record stock market highs. The
rise of Hitler
and German hatred stirred up war and
Fred Trump. It is understandable, as Fred
was a landlord
in New York, accused of discrimination
by Woody Guthrie: “Beach Haven is Trump’s Tower
Where no black folks come to roam.”
Fred’s son in Fred’s image, racist and
red-faced in private, “not a racist bone in
my body,”
he says until you discern and discover
Trump’s code-language, and here is the key:
Most major statements
he makes: the opposite is true.)
***
So, we have a racist person—who most-
likely stole the office—sitting in the White
House, supposedly
representing this region of the world to
other parts of the world.
***
Sad. Embarrassing. The first time any
“president” of the United States made
me cry.
Call me a snowflake, CIA—you have made
me cry many times, killing Kennedy,
Martin, Kennedy, and Lennon—
Taking out Romero in El Salvador to top
it off—any minister or peace-lover
against your war agenda.
***
Now a racist “president” character
assassinating every person world-wide who
is not “white” or European-rooted.
I pray for Trump, who was born into
racism; has never known the glory of
spirit that emanates
without prejudice from the spirited;
be they black, white, red or brown,
the healing blue I send to you, for
racism and
bigotry was in me once too! I was
ignorant, pre-spiritual awakening, drinking
flammable liquid
(so praying to false gods), and I brought
down all “others” from women to
different races.
It was the wrong way, but I could not
buck it until I could trust someone
enough to tell truth.
Donald, may you find love and truth;
may God come to you, reveal Him
or Herself—
same goes for the CIA, its evil “covert”
insanity, and to the sellout GOP, who
stirred up hate
by standing with Trump against the
first Woman who should have been
president.
To follow the first black man in the office.
Those words: “women” and “black,” “African
American” and “wives”—these are to be put down
to the racist,
not voted into office. To the bigot. To the
chauvinistic misogynistic, confused bedeviled
folks…
I love you.
