Inner Impasse

If you have half a brain, 
like me, 
you won’t dignify with truth 
such stupidity 

yet it’s so hard to contain 
outrage and outcry 
when you know in your heart 
none win with a sigh.

*

When you live in ‘tea party’ land
you take no stand,
you just shut your mouth and sigh
a lot
and quietly remember
all you were taught
about the fall of great empires
when you were young.

  2. I think they are giving everyone a headache. They are the 'grand old headache party'.
    I'm always having to remind myself their crazy politics don't really affect my life all that much yet.
