Sailing Ahead

Once again prognosticators out of the wazoo
Are claiming they alone know what will now be coming due
For our country now that immunity has been granted
To the sickest piece of human shit ever decanted.

No two predictions are alike, not one of them agree
With what another says is bound to surely come to be

Predictions range from hopeless rage to back-flipping elation

As each is sure it alone knows what’s in store for our nation.

Republicans are overjoyed the Supreme Court they stacked

With corrupt lying truth-denying judges have Trump backed

They see the way as clear as day before them to impose

Their fascist tyranny on the way our country now goes.

Democrats are desperately seeking some silver lining

In the decision that has made them increase their sad pining

Begun after debate debacle made their party fear

The end of values they defend is drawing much more near.

America has hung in there almost 300 years

Which is the average age of past empires so one hears

From historians who study empire endurance

So on the down side history grants hope not much assurance.

But cults also have histories of not for long enduring

After Dear Leaders find so called good genes were not ensuring

That they would live forever although they may that believe

And convince those who they exploit through con games that deceive.

And so despite conflicting claims our future can’t be known

By any pundit claiming they know what will next be shown

Because the way time works means we can’t know what’s going to be

Recorded for great grandchildren to read as history.

And so because none can yet know how things are shaking out

What we believe will happen is based on fear, grief, and doubt

Or on smug fascist arrogance but our nation’s travail

Ahead neither side really knows as towards it both sail.
