Hatred Holding Sway

The Jewish New Year starts tonight

And autumn starts today.

I can’t feel optimistic, though,

With hatred holding sway.

 

Divisions in this country

Make me feel I don’t belong,

With the ones in charge ensuring that

We’ll never get along.

 

Colbert’s speech at the Emmys

Ended on an upbeat note.

“I have never loved my country more…”

Was part of what he wrote.

 

I wish that I could feel that way

But I must disagree,

For our leaders now don’t represent

America to me.
