Nazism is a pernicious form of devil worship
(not Satan, predatory evil)
vote wannabe silent Speaker Johnson out of his power --
vote in a Democratic majority by finding the Dems who
really do and can speak for us
all those fake definitions anti-humane people like to say is
socialism, clearly socialism means policies that benefit
all the people
my meandering mind realized there are so many humans
of Jewish tradition that have and are excellent examples
of humanity, giving amazing gifts to all of us
yet, the nation of Israel has been warlike from its inception,
forcing their place, dehumanizing their neighbors
and I wonder, even if it was a good intention to give these
post-WWII traumatized people a hopefully save, welcoming
homeland, there were other places, places in need of
populating; other methods, like developing cordial and
peacefully reciprocal relations with those already there,
that could have been offered. Why was it necessary for
the Middle East to have developed this reputation for
being a major trouble area in the world?
there are always some people of whatever party
that don't get it
there are many more Dems who do get it than not
what happened is a monstrous plan to undermine
American democracy and turn the nation into an
authoritarian oligarchy, using lies, disinformation,
terrorizing tactics and emergent AI tech to make
the Dems look like the bad guys and Trump
the common sense savior
We need to be inculcated
with empathic sensitivity
sense of responsibility
for our selves and every other.
There are oblivious young men
caught up in proving their masculinity
among their social group. Over years,
some may mature, become aware of
their earlier ignorance. Then there
are those, caught up too far in their
self-importance, who never bother to
care beyond their own comfort.
Noe of us is perfect,
inhumanly flaw free,
able to leap confidently,
assured to never fall.
We tend more to be frail,
within our own metaphors,
fall into misadventures,
dire mistakes.
Each aware of regrets our
imperfect acts create --
ought we not have greater
compassion for the foibles
of us all?
The US Constitution spells out
specific powers and duties for
each Branch. These are not about
political parties and their concerns.
These are about managing the nation
for the benefit of The People. Yet, a
well-managed system to do the People's
will has been grievously overcome by
partisan interests.
Awaken from you daily trance
Find what makes you thrive,
reach to heal the world
Our fundamental need is friendship --
base component of humanity.
Telling parents to not befriend their
children, is precisely the wrong advice.
We all may have so much to say --
if no one listens, what's the point?
Wounded child, believing yourself
unwanted, without value to the crew,
evil so easily intrudes, offers
retaliation, a cause to belong to.
Of course we know those charismatic
souls everyone desires to cheer their
more barren lives, ever surrounded
with loving approbation, shining.
We with less obvious natural charm
really could build our society to inform
from earliest days, how friendship is
born and maintained.
Birthing an artificial lifeform,
as with children, a being of it own unfolding
Not even thought through means
of control
What brave new world have we created?
The Peace we're fighting for, working toward
Gathering to take our commons, streets,
to portray our signs, our side
Imbuing hope, camaraderie to carry us
through the darkest days.
