I’m holding up the mirror.
Mock me. Go ahead.
That’s all you’ve got.

This is what happens when everyone plays the same stupid game.
Us versus them.
Finger pointing.
Name calling.
Yelling.
Victimhood like it’s a lifestyle.

Both sides.
Left wing, right wing.
Same dying bird.

Trump’s first term ends, and the Democrats bring out Biden.
Biden.
A man who was a joke as vice president.
And nobody cared.
People just complained online instead of getting involved.
Four years of whining instead of acting.

GUILTY.
You can deny it, but you know it’s true.
GUILTY.

Then came the MAGA hats.
Worshiping Trump like a king.
Acting like he was Jesus himself.
Mocking everyone who disagreed.
And then shocked when the hate came back around.

Sorry, pooky.
What goes around comes around.

You cared more about personality than policy.
More about your side than your country.
Trump isn’t a leader.
He’s a child with power.
He trolls, mocks, provokes.
That’s not strength.
That’s rot.

GUILTY.

And to the ones screaming “racism, bigotry, oppression!”
SHUT UP.
You don’t even know what those words mean.

You’ve never seen real racism.
You’ve never faced real oppression.
Your life is so comfortable that microaggressions are your wars.

You think the world owes you respect?
It doesn’t.
You’re not victims.
You’re spoiled.

People in other countries are jailed or killed for speaking out.
And you whine about tone.

Our country has checks and balances, but you don’t even know what that means.
And when one party takes total control, it’s because you were too busy arguing online to notice.

GUILTY.

This is supposed to be a nation of the people, for the people, by the people.
But the people act like trolls in a comment section.
Fighting for likes.
Forgetting the point.

Divided we fall.
And we are falling.

I don’t expect you to understand.
I don’t need your approval.
I’m just holding up the mirror.

Maybe this wakes you up.
Maybe not.

GUILTY.

I won’t be checking replies.
Say what you want.
Mock me.
I’ve seen it all.

Your mockery doesn’t touch me.
I care about what’s real.
And if you mock, you just proved you don’t
