twilight at the dark of the moon

 the different paths we tend to take,

some caught up in hate and drama
while others do the work that we
all need to move forward. 
I saw a little cartoon in my mind's eye
wherein rather than the rule of
if you don't work you don't eat,
if you don't work you don't get to complain. 
Doing the work we see how difficult
it can be, what skills we need to develop,
and then can understand what our real
complaints that help us see what changes
to look toward ought to be.
 
 
 
hypermasculinity
because being born with balls is
never enough, only threshold necessity,
too much to live up to,
too little to sustain
 
 
 
You People,
putting my health and life
in danger out of stupidity,
foolishness,
how ought I act in self-defense?
 
 
 
Freedom as a national creed
does not mean everyone gets
to do whatever we like all the time.
Rather, we do as we choose within
the bounds of rules fairly and clearly
defined and enforced while each and all
have true opportunities to question,
critique, offer our thoughts about how
we would prefer to proceed.
