See’ed

After the
Great War
My grandma
Used to declare,
“Never see’ed the
Hand of the Lord so
Clear.” And, it is just so
With Trump supporters
Who though they as
Anti-vaxers driven
To mix unmasked
Are now being
Decimated
By Delta
COVID
Still refuse
To see Trump
As the charlatan
He is, the greatest
Danger to democracy
Since the South felt
It was worth near
A million dead
Not to label
Share-
Cropping
As slavery,
Grandma taught
Her children to
Be practical
Above any
Illusion
No matter
How good it
Felt to cling to
Some shibboleth.
Family and friends
First not bad politics.
We march at dawn
We sail with the
Tide but not
For fakes
Or for
Fads.
You do
Not see it?
Then reap the wind.
