Famished

written by: Anne G

@TheInkTruth

Famished are we

those who seek truth

Gnawing sensation

wreaking havoc within

Incessantly fed

with crumbs of untruths

Malnourished and starved

between lies and distrust

We hopelessly grasp

at scraps of what was

Wishing and hopeful

we devour each word

Longing for sustenance

to nourish the soul

A Christmas Heckler by John Christopher

“With your vote tomorrow—” The Governor raised his hands to quell thunderous applause. “With your vote, we can end this foreign invasion once and for all. America for Americans!”

This wasn’t just a slogan for Governor Bishop DeCulpat. It was a life’s crusade. In his border state, it was his family, his neighbors who’d borne the brunt of the social costs of the flow of migrants across the border. They’d been pushed to a boiling point. Now, it was time for action.

Hearing the signature catchphrase of the campaign, the audience erupted once again, the ovation magnified by the white marble column of the Statehouse rising at the Governor’s back, drowning out The Vince Guaraldi Trio’s Christmas is Coming blaring from the speakers...
