Reality of a Lie

What happens when we wake up to the reality of a lie Everything you thought you knew is told it’s going to die Death is rarely welcomed most people want to live this includes our truest beliefs and all the comforts they give Nothings worse than putting all your marbles in one basket only to learn your treasure chest has turned into a casket Now we drag our ego through the five stages of grief each worse than the other till you have a new belief Then begins the process of exhuming any pride some sense of integrity still buried deep inside It’s time for folks to wake up to the reality of the big lie and understand they must embrace the fact that it must die As life goes on someday we’ll get a whole news cycle dump and never once have to see or hear from Donald f***ing Trump ~Jeannie Cronin

Full disclosure, I wrote this last night after reading several pieces of your work. You are an inspiration, or at least you are for me. Thanks
