It’s Been Real
A Farewell to the Orange Face of Truth

Allow me to begin by stating that I have no political affiliations or aspirations—I am merely a penman who is particularly passionate about people and perception. In my opinion, politics are divisive by nature and are therefore counterproductive to “u-n-i” of unity and the coming together for a common cause.
I digress.
Dear Former President,
Firstly, I would like to say thank you for your brutal honesty and comical, unpresidential misconduct. Fortunately for me, I am a lot further down the rabbit hole of reality than the majority of the population. My depth allowed me to be unfazed by the lifting of the veil between, what appears to be, the past and the present. Meaning, any form of bigotry that we as the American people view as something associated with an isolated time period in the past will perpetuate a false sense of growth and development. It is false because it is not a past issue, it is a present, perpetual one.
Although, it may have been unintentional, the mask that we are a progressive society with freedom, justice, and equality for all, has been thrown aside and America’s true face has been exposed. As I mentioned earlier, I’ve already done my research into the sciences of life and the nature of reality, so I’ve already seen America for what she truly is and not what she appears to be. Unfortunately, most people are too complacent sleepwalking through their version of the American dream to wake up and face reality.
So again, I thank you for being you, unapologetically. You inspired all of the people who were hiding behind their own mask to show their face for the first time—loud and proud. Regardless of someone’s opinion of your policies or views, no one can deny the new reality that we all exist within, nor could they deny your role as a catalyst in this shift we’re all experiencing.
Willfully, this new found awareness of the nature of reality will allow for some actual progress to not only America as a country, but also to humanity as a whole. Also that, within your antics, it becomes clear how convoluted and perverted people can become. For instance, anyone whose ancestors willingly came to America for the chance of a better life in this land of the free and happened to amass enough wealth and knowledge to pass it down generationally to the point that it is not only still around, but thriving; for that person to then turn around and, after being raised suckling from the teat of inheritance, have the gall to have an elitist disposition towards another immigrant who is attempting to do the same thing for their next few generations—it’s sickening. Just to see how far removed some people are from reality is heartbreaking. The reality is we are all truly connected and all just at different points in the wave of life. The sooner we all can come to terms with the fact that, like it or not, we’re all in this together.
You see, the beautiful thing about the ugly truth, is that: once you face it, it is engrained—and now you are forced to make a choice. You must choose to continue doing what you previously did out of ignorance now out of habit; or you can choose to make adjustments to this new reality—the choice is yours.
So again, I thank you for removing the mask of falsehood that was only a bandaid solution to a generationally deep cut. The bloody rivers of truth are now flooding the streets of America, the line has been drawn in the sand, and the people are choosing sides. As a purveyor of love and light, I ask you, the reader: on the topic of true freedom, justice, and equality—where do you stand?
Sincerely,
Cameron Marquis of PourWriteousTeachings.com
