When some try to
Evoke
Vile contempt
Foul report,
There is much more
At stake
Than a furious
Retort.
Don’t fall prey
To miasmas of
Hate and closed minds.
Do not let lower standards
Become somehow enshrined.
Call it out.
Name it loud.
But refuse the dishonorable
As normed or allowed.
Choose to level
Above.
Give a hand.
Hold on tight.
To a firm
Higher ground.

Yes! I am sure those who have obtained US citizenship recently are relieved, horrified, furious, and terrified for their country. What next?

I believe these feelings are shared regardless of whether one has gotten naturalized recently, was born here, or is not yet a citizen. It is about respecting humans as humans, not about an immigration status or origins, imo. We can all do better utilizing a higher ground.

Of course, we all do. And we can and should do better. Just reflecting.
