Minions of Mindlessness<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Theirs was blight not as big as it seemed. I used to start my car after<\/p>\n
work in Coeur d\u2019Alene, knew it might explode. The crazies had no<\/p>\n
limits though we could have been friends. They were lost in a hate that covered<\/p>\n
their inner sky with dark brooding clouds blocking sun, moon and stars.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Last night\u2019s Perseid meteor showers were like messengers<\/p>\n
across a black sky in North Idaho as I slept under the stars.<\/p>\n
The Aryan Nations that banded near here remind me of Trump.<\/p>\n
Muster like mustard gas in World War I. They lost their bluster<\/p>\n
and were forced to go away. I hope that the minions of<\/p>\n
mindlessness raging across the county right now don\u2019t<\/p>\n
rise from compost as if no one has learned from my<\/p>\n
ancestors that died because they were different.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
