A mansion, stately, defined by its character, its trimmings the luxuries and classy furnishings. There are old oak trees standing guard, keeping the secrets safe and sound of this place once called home to many a family. People walk by the structure, dreaming of one day owning this place, demonstrating to the world around them, just how successfully far they have come in their lives. This mansion is set back a bit from the road, as if it was and island, traversing to its front door seems welcoming, but one must do so with great caution, as there are signs posted beware of the guard dogs, and as you come closer to the picturesque gilded windows you seem certain that someone is peering though a camera watching your every mood. Ah the mysteries this house proposes to your mind, ah, the opportunities this house suggests, with its many rooms, ah the sanctuary as it sits comfortably enticing you to take a peek, and maybe make it yours. What a perfect place you think, how much better life might feel living there.
A few weeks later, you decide to walk by this mansion, you need a pick me up, a positive feeling of the possibilities of your life, living in a place like this. This is the home, that all other dwellings must compete with, in your mind, as to the kind of place to meet your goal. You arrive, waiting hoping to find one more unique feature of this mansion, playing that game in your head, I wish I knew the stories of that room, that yard….but when you get to the mansion, you see men with hard hats, construction trucks, there is a flurry of people using tools that look as if they are for destruction…what is going, you inquire (After all this IS your dream home, and shouldn’t they confer with you first). The manager of the working people, says one word, TERMITES…then he adds, don’t let the place fool you, it is ready to fall in on itself…the owners never cared much about the inside of the house…so the TERMITES had a field day. You look, and you sigh, wondering just how stupid these people must have been.
The Russians in hopes of maintaining their economy based on oil, understanding that fame and fortune are both the oxygen and blood that keep Trump alive. Knowing that Mitch McConnell and his GOP cohorts who have tried their hardest to eliminate one person one vote form of democracy. Realizing that that bigotry and bullying are key factors of attaining power. Very sure that that President Obama is a true believer in fair and just…the Russians have become like TERMITE queen, and have used the leadership of the GOP to become their workers; quietly, cunningly, eating away at the electoral system of our mansion, the United States. It seems this house, our home, is ready to implode, very soon!
