I took an Uber to downtown Reykjavik on a Friday night

The guy’s car was like a spaceship inside

I just had to leave Amorika

The sick nation

The ignorant nation

The blind nation

The nation of ludicrously inept leadership

A leader…

Can’t say leader

A president…

Can’t say president

A human being…

Definitely can’t say human being

A shell of a man with a daily drive to hurt people, even his own supporters

Lies, lies, lies

You people voted for lies

You people voted for untethered incompetence

You people voted for violence and hatred

You people voted for the destruction of democracy

All with God as his crotch rocket

I just don’t understand why

Why would anyone want this?

I’ve been banging my head against the wall

I’m so upset, pissed, and worried

I feel like Nazi Germany is unfolding before us

I see glimpses into Gilead

But what can I do?

Be the better person?

Sometimes you have to just stand up against this idiocy

I’ve been trying to lessen what I see and hear

Because I can’t take it

I don’t watch the news anymore

I limit my time on Facebook

I walk away, walk away

But I still know that I can be the better person

Even when I don’t want to be

I still know that there is a whole world out there that feels the same way as I do

Other people, other nations

That’s support to me, for all of us who know better

Better…

We could have had so much better than this

So much better

But Amorika, you chose the worst possible thing

Best of luck to you with that liberty and justice for all thing

I’m at a cat cafe in Iceland

The walls are pink

There are wandering cats

There is coffee

And there are windows with much better views.
