America In Waiting

The wounded animal is at its most dangerous when approached.
This animal has been festering for a lot of years now.
An open wound covered by the bloody bandage of past glories.
Waiting to rise.
Seeking direction.
The inspiring leader.
When the world seeks guidance, and the house is dark.
Dangerous times lie ahead.

This is exactly how I'm feeling . . . you've managed to express it in caustic & sardonic tones. I don't believe the overall prognosis is quite this dreary but it will take all of us pushing back constantly. Thanks for your analysis of our brokenness. The first line is the most astute.

Hope the guy becomes a whirlwind and changes America for the better. Time will tell. The only consolation in Britain, is leaving Europe. We're all in trouble.

If anyone is a history buff, they can just look back from the beginning until now and shake in their boots. Like a sled running down hill. Valentine
