a sense of
exhaustion
each exhausted by our own
weary,
wearing
experience
Too worn and weary to
want
to carry on.
Rebellion may seem
attractive,
out there,
somewhere,
but far too depleting
to
contemplate
today.
Sleep is what appeals
--
let us rest,
exhale.
Parallel, not
Hierarchical
Better for me, not better
than you.
freedom can only be absolute
if one is alone
freedom in community,
society, family is dependent
on a contract or commitment
to mutually respect
each other's freedom --
responsibility.
many years ago I was looking
out onto a river
and thinking about
egolessness
I heard the river as we hear
voice in silence
say: I am a river, I flow as
nature and have
no need of an ego. You are
human, in a world
of other humans, and you need
your special
center voice to give you the
means to be you.
everyone not on the Trump
bandwagon gets
threatened and pretty soon
the rabid radical
Republicans will be carrying
out these executions
if we don't protect ourselves
and take away their power
why would you not vote, if
only to give support to
a 3rd party alternative, a
write-in, some indication
that you matter as a citizen
because the vote is your
fundamental duty as a citizen
of a democracy and it's
by giving up on that duty in
droves that we destroy
our chance for having a
voice
