On Hate, Fear and Greed


(The Moderate Voice) At least three of the ten destination directions in the image above must be removed from our national psyche if we are to remain “America The Great.”


Here are some wise and timely words by a friend


Hate, Fear and Greed

Trump’s populist Creed


It’s frightening what Trump supporters will swallow

As he lies and insults: from a “hate platform” he does wallow

It’s always the same: “Others” are to blame

As he calls others “fake”: he puts our freedom at stake


We inherited a “United” States, but it was once divided

Ideologues captured the attention of a racist view misguided

It took a brave opposition to seek out the truth

After a tragic war, it took informed action in the voting booth


“There is nothing to fear but fear itself” words wisely said

But Trump gives us “rabble rousing” hate speech instead

As he gets more wealthy: he breeds hate that’s not healthy

It’s the pillars of our democracy: that he is turning to mockery


As hate crimes accelerate, Trump refuses to soften the debate

It’s Fake news, not him, that causes the problem he does state

It’s time to call out his violence-encouraging distractions

It’s time to get to the voting booths: and take strong actions


CODA: There is no “stronger action,” more American and more effective, than your vote.


Our hearts and prayers continue to go out to the victims of the “Massacre in the Heart of Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood” and their loved ones. Read More
