Poetry in Tough Times

Totally terrified of the

tumult taking a toll on

the tolerance and tenacity

of these tethered towns.

They’re making too many tacit attempts

to try and test the temperament

of too many anti-totalitarians and

true testifiers to Liberty.

Tykes with too little intestinal

titanium trying to tumble the towers

of truth down to the troughs of tyranny,

through tepid tonal treasons.

The true test of this togetherness,

through the tidal waves of mis-trust,

takes inalienable truths that all

types are created equal.

Only together, tied in the theory of

this free Nation! Can we defeat the notion that

there are those who don’t fit the type

to make it “Great”.

A total and terrific untruth told by

those that entreat in trysts with

thoughtlessness and take comfort

in veiled trouble-making.

Take to the town squares to tell those

that try to disrupt all our fidelity and liberty

that they have no timber, tell them to

take their distrust and toss it into the sea.

This Nation, tested; testifies to the better

angels of our mercy and takes those that

are tossed out from the torments of their

times, to the potential their tears yearned.

 The tumult that terrifies,

is a tiny tintinnabulation against the

throats of the trustees in Liberty

and tolerance.

Touted by those that tossed tea

 and took taxes to mean the end

of any tyranny for themselves and

their progeny.   

Together, We are tougher than

the temper tantrums of a trumped up

ticking time bomb. Only together are

we all truly free.
