War Zone - Tools of the Trade - strong words
War Zone

Incendiary political speak,
         "invasion", "collusion",
         "impeachment", "conspiracy",
"deplorables", "elites", "socialist",
         "alternative facts",
         "racist", and "fake news",
are a springboard
         for pipe bombs,
         ricin mail, street riots,
slaughter in a synagogue,
         and shots fired
         at campaign quarters.

Rhetoric on both sides
is igniting violence.
But the true power word
         inspiring hope,
Vote! Vote! Vote!
         can lead to positive action.
                    ~~Judi Van Gorder
