"The Truth About Me..."

I am still in shock after a week of mourning the truth of the election. The truth is I'm scared sh*tless by the prospect of what is to come. It made me literally physically ill. I've been to the doctor three times in the last week. My blood pressure peaked at 186/103 and is only down to a sub-crisis level thanks to some powerful, side-effects laden medications I've had to start. I truthfully feel like an old Jew in 1933 Germany... I've now lived long enough to know what's coming, but I don't have the wherewithal to escape it. And the worse part of this clarity is that it was my fellow citizens, blinded by lies and deceptions who chose this path for us all.

First They Came

Martin Niemöller

First they came for the Communists

And I did not speak out

Because I was not a Communist

Then they came for the Socialists

And I did not speak out

Because I was not a Socialist

Then they came for the trade unionists

And I did not speak out

Because I was not a trade unionist

Then they came for the Jews

And I did not speak out

Because I was not a Jew

Then they came for me

And there was no one left

To speak out for me
