The End of The World As We Know It (Prose & Poetry)

Where is our future headed? Are we doomed to a world of death and violence? Questions I ask myself a lot lately. If you have been on my hubpage in recent weeks, you know that the Presidential candidates, one more than the other, is bothering me to a perfect peak of confused exhaustion. I do not understand the mindset of this person, or of those individuals who are voting for him have. They want to build walls, when we are America, and our purpose by definition is to be the nation that builds bridges; the America that stands for freedom and equality to all.

We now have to put up with this person who is promoting violence, because he has brought the CRAZY out to vote. He is giving the undercover racists the bravery to come forward and act on the hate that they have been harboring within themselves. It is extremely unbelievable to me, the ones I see coming out of the woodwork who are standing up for this destruction way of thinking. It is shocking that any Republican party member, even though this person has made it to be their nominee, is willing to stand for this. What kind of government do we have on that side of the table?

In recent news, they have brought up the way he is talking about nuclear weapons. He wants to know; why, if we have them, we can't use them? What?! Is he serious? Unfortunately, he is very serious, and it is very scary!! He does not know history. He does not know circumstance of actions, and therefore, is a threat to our livelihood.

We have enemies. That is no secret. We have always had an enemy somewhere. However, it is in our best interest to try to negotiate without putting forth our most powerful weapons that, in the past, have wiped out a whole population of people, including innocents (Hiroshima). We are not in dire need of these types of tactics yet. ISIS is a group that has grown, but not to the point of defeat from our very well trained military, who, by the way, has been wiping them out along with our allies from other countries. Let us continue to work and succeed this way; without death of innocent lives going down too.

This is not a discussion I want to keep going or bringing up. This is something that in the past, quite frankly, I never worried about. For as long as I have been old enough to vote, I may have had my pick of who I like the best, but I never really stressed about the outcome of the final tally. Now I do. It is imperative that I, at least, try to wake up some to this person's truth. The thing is, I can't believe anyone has to go to this extent to do so. It is like common sense is dead. I listen to this man, and I literally become sick. The hate and violence he continues to promote make me feel extremely weighed down and hopeless, and I do not want this!!! How can anyone want this??

This is a plea of prose, and a poem of reality.

Push me forward without

doubts; clear my vision

from vines of clout…

I must be getting bored

again; my wheels keep

turning, with no ascend…

Grapple and grab at each

day cometh; I fear my words

may come across libertinage…

Hast no worry, for I will prevail

with an unpleasing reason to

spill my wails…

dabble, dabble, scribble, scroll.

My mind is currently finding its

mental moan…

crowded with life’s religions;

taught sins shall not be among

future provisions…

Who's this man who hath

invaded nation…he tries

to force fight angels against

satans…

do away with the nonsense of

he, who is determined to

reign over us carelessly…

dark is now the day on typical

occasion. We must stop this

Mad man and make him unable.

You must not be captious to my

words, instead choose well, for if

you become a foolish bigot beware…

a vote for this kook, will give him

authority over the nukes, and we

shall see much death from that fluke…
