Talons Extended


Unlike the first Revolution…

this time we have to take America 

back from within

Like drug and alcohol addiction

we need detox 

and rehabilitation

The traitors and despoilers left

to wither and die

Too many have sacrificed

for the freedoms we take for granted

to abdicate our responsibility

to the lunatic fringe

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2022)
