if not now, when


“If I am not for myself, who will be for me? And if I am only for myself what am I? And if not now when?” (Rabbi Hillel) And day by day, hour by hour, now happening as fast and furious as in dozens of weeks, we watch as families are torn apart, under an assumption deviously created by an empty vessel sailing the seas of democracy, that the true punishment of separating, kidnapping families and at times instantly creating orphans will solve a problem which in itself has been given life, so the current resident in the Oval Office can continue to feel loved and liked as leader by people who desire fear more than they require oxygen to breathe.

Simpletons, will, like parrots, repeat the void and vacant lies that laws are being broken; laws established not in a conventional manner, but rather indulgences as if they were spastic ticks by Donald Trump, who must divide and conquer, and must in his own sad, sick psychotic and delusional world believe he is God-like. Like Caesar’s of Rome, Trump wishes to hold the ultimate choice, the thumbs up or down as to who lives and who dies. Smart enough to understand that his base, feeds on finding an enemy, thrives at the loss of others, and feel powerful and perfect by an imposter with enough illumination as does a porch light on a summer’s eve, to cause certain death when finally embracing that light…Trump with no conscience and as cavalier and cowardly as the evilest character ever written by the best author…demurely directs his minions to “Just follow orders!”

Every new day Trump remains in office, the stench of a slaughterhouse ripples through the air, the stench ion death of democracy roams the skies like putrid roadkill. The denial of human rights and the soon extinction of civil rights can be found in cities and towns across this nation, lying in lumps as if some large group of animals (the current GOP) took a shit every 10 minutes and left their pile of bile as a trail of breadcrumbs to let everyone know, that their stench will become the new norm.

And now we have American citizens, pretending that grabbing, kidnapping, stealing mothers and fathers from their children is a perfect red, white and blue activity to be proud of and in which they should partake. If you are an ICE Agent, and you separate families and your only response is, you are following your job description, and don’t demand enough is enough or realize that this behavior happened before and how unconscionable it was then, but somehow is different now, then you might as well consider yourself a member of the American Nazi Gestapo. Laws have always been established in this nation as detergents…do not let the blacks drink from the same fountains as white, don’t sell to the Gays, don’t let the Catholic or Jews live on your property, women are not equal and their wages should never be equal to those of men. Separating families, kidnapping children, orphaning children are conveniently considered laws, and how the hell does anyone, no ANYONE with a true understanding of love, empathy, morals or values find it perfectly pleasing to “Just follow orders”, in that empty valueless demand by a man whose only pleasure is pleasuring himself!
