responsibility is social

  

Getting to my wit's end,

my rope's end,

my ability to cope,

pretend, yet again

it will all be better

in the end.

 

 

 

It's a matter of conviction --

what we (writ large) are

willing to condone.

Not ready to put justice

above convenient apathy.

Unable to behave responsibly,

with conviction.

 

 

 

Inside my fantasy

core, root and seed.

Outside sad trance of

our social disease.,

No one succeeds when

success means we never

live in reality.

Feel free, feel abandoned by

who we've been made to be,

outside, without reality.

Breathe in.

Feel alive, a creature of blood,

of air.

Feel free

of despair, of disappointment,

of conditioning to succeed,

as if beholden to

this crippling fantasy.

 

 

 

we waste our precious human lives

trying to be what we are not

to please others doing the same

 

 

 

We travel a descending spiral

as society, the more people

concentrate on entitlement rather

than meaningful responsibility.

 

 

 

I don't know how you learn best.

I am a reader.

I like to get to the source, and

to find the background of the author's

views and the context of the content.

 

 

 

we have to prosecute these police --

every one who kills or nearly kills,

even if they claim it was justified;

there has to be a price to make every cop

think twice before pulling the trigger

 

 

 

 

if the Republicans are so interested in unity,

where is their good faith effort? 

Unity does not mean capitulation to the meanest.

 

 

 

 

cynical, power hoarder McConnell believes

(rightly?) that the American electorate is too apathetic

or low information or weirded out, that if he can stall

and belittle the Dems attempts to do as the people will

they will blame Biden (since the Pres. is mostly their

understanding of government leadership to love or hate)
