input processing

 

the Senate gets to make its rules

anew each session

since the filibuster clearly is of no use to
the majority, and is only a means for the minority
to take control (highly undemocratic), [the
priorities of minority parties are already
Constitutionally secured by the Senate’s
swayed make up of two from every state.]
it makes sense to realize this is a stupid rule
that needs to be changed
 
 
 
let us be clear, this is not "white people"
but a certain section of society with
no self respect, and therefore
no respect for others
 
 
 
 
 
it's like only "conservative" rules matter
as if only the "right" commands respect.
 
 
 
de-immune the police
 
 
 
Understand that sometimes the world
gets away from us.
What always makes it ok for us
Fantasy,  bright romance of who I’m
What’s become of me
is not worth saving.
Where is there to believe, to belong,
to remind, to find
a key to meaning?
 
 
 
Working against our own best interests
on hope of short-term stability.
 
 
 
The whole thing about being human,
exploding because it makes no sense
to me.
Every day in a maze.
Human mythology
painting names on reality.
 
 
 
Instead of pretending they are at War,
Israel would be better to treat Hamas
as the violent criminals they are,
tracking and apprehending and putting
on public trial – not as an excuse to murder
like violent criminals.
 
 
 
It is galling that so often the people
who own great wealth (a lion’s share
of the people’s available resources)
are not those with the moral foundation
to use it well.
 
 
 
When we’re told to judge,
the rush of vengeful hate
lets us forget that Justice
means equanimity – not enmity.
