Silver Lining, Day 984


 I am re-posting this, with a few revisions, from Day 598:
On Rosh Hashanah it is inscribed,
And on Yom Kippur it is sealed.
How many shall pass away and how many shall be born,
Who shall live and who shall die,
Who shall reach the end of his days and who shall not,
Who shall speak facts and who shall speak alternate facts,
Who shall be a bully, and who shall rise above the bullying,
Who shall do what is right, and who shall do what is needed to get re-elected,
Who shall endlessly tweet indiscriminately and who shall think,
Who shall be the exemplar of narcissism and who shall be humble,
Who shall be loyal to their country and who shall be loyal only to wallets,
Who shall uphold the Constitution and who shall treat it like a roll of knock-off Charmin,
Who shall rise higher and who shall fall lower,
Who shall stoke the flames of fear, mistrust, and bigotry, and who shall nourish love, partnership and community,
Who shall continue to divide us, and who shall seek to unite us,
Who shall remain, and who shall be impeached,
Who shall show courage in the Senate, and who shall embrace Cowardice,
Who shall be the clouds, and who shall be the silver linings,
On Rosh Hashanah it is inscribed and on Yom Kippur it is sealed.
Amen.
