There are those who say it takes 21 days of sobriety
to kick the habit/addiction to alcohol.
Sounds like a fairly arbitrary number to me
(what some might call fuzzy math),
but it seems to rake in a lot of cash for the clinics,
so more power to the theory and those who push it.
The question hot on my mind is a bit more complex.
It goes a little something like this:
How long does it take
after one of the largest cover-ups in U.S. history
before a Presidential candidate
prancing around out on the campaign trail
has the guts to openly discuss
the 28 pages of classified documents
from the 9/11 Commission Report?
The answer, apparently, is starting to surface
because Donald J. Trump,
the most bombastic voice in the race,
has seemingly raised the stakes
to a whole new level in this dog-and-pony show.
“Elect me and you’ll find out
who really knocked down the Twin Towers.”
I believe the political establishment
and corporate media whores
just swallowed their collective tongue
and grasped their chest
to make sure the heart is still beating
(prediction: it won’t be for much longer).
Of course, there are many brave souls out there
who have been screaming from the mountain top
for years on end until they were blue in the face
concerning Saudi Arabia’s involvement in the attack,
NORAD’s stand down, Bush/Bin Laden connections,
and other such troubling circumstances.
But, hell, it’ll still be sweet as wine
once the truth is finally brought into the light.
