Stop Talking!

I’ve heard everything you have to say- more than once.

You are not saying anything that someone else had said before- and better.

Holding or running for a public office

Nor operating a well-endowed multinational company

Nor benefitting from that company’s products to put your words out immediately

Does not make you better or more informed than people who do not have that advantage

You look at people in large numbers alone

So you cannot see the few within the many

Who are most affected by your appalling ignorance

Your grandstanding

Your egotistical belief that everyone likes the same things you did growing up

And would like to see them now, again, in your own image

Rather than that of the people who toiled with tears and sweat to create it

I am old enough to know better than believe all of your lies

About how you have and are going to make the world “better”

Making your country “great”

Again.

And again.

And again!

And yet, you can’t see it.

Your money

And your jobs

And your lifestyle

Prevent you from doing so

You don’t care about me

And I know you don’t care

And I know you disgust me because of that

You’ve taken so much from me that my life is barely worth living

And you deny it every time it’s brought up

The sad thing is:

This could all be stopped

And my-your-our world saved

If you would only stop talking

And….listen!
