Excerpted from poem The Refugees: "We must shape here a new philosophy."
I am trying to stay out of the back and forth, but did want to stop in to say I think we will be ok.
What I fear most is complacency. Trumpism has given legs to confrontation which I believe to be healthy - at least healthier than complacency.
Andrew F.'s poem posted says as much. So does Yeats' Second Coming (though implied). Complacency is a tough animal to rouse.
Let the confrontation take place. The real question left to be answered is, how will we emerge from the confrontation? A better, more perfect place? Will it be at the expense of a generation?
We the people. We are a strange dichotomy of damnation and enlightenment. Confront. Reform.
