what, to you, would really living look/feel/sound/smell like?
what keeps you away? forget what people without you in their
heart say. Find your real life; live it.
the root of our disfunction is what allowed money to take over
politics -- we are not actively engaging in the democratic process,
or even aware of just what that would be, in far too many instances
the way to get money out of politics is to make it irrelevant
it's time for the world to move from dependence on or respect for
the US, build a better social/economic landscape without US
the CRs that fund the US basically just continue the funding
already in place -- until Congress stops lolligagging and does
their basic job of creating a functional budget, the gov't needs
to just continue the CRs without the added stupidity of
gov't shutdowns
people resign
people complain
people, real people, demonstrate, do every thing
we can to get our reps to represent us
how is it that all the world isn't doing what needs
to be done to end these incredibly dangerous
and criminal activities perpetrated by
Trump and cronies?
these are highly uneven encounters
for the man it is a fun interval, probably
easily forgotten
for the girl it is an impossibly unforgettable
trauma that permeates her life
People:
We need to become a people
End this insanity
wherein humanity
is our violent enemy
Remake of us our
greatest friend
May we honestly atone
for this ugliness of beliefs
we let seep
into our souls
shattering loss of grief,
flinging our lives from normality;
that vast emptiness,
cavernous, beyond acceptability
If you have survived, it ought be
a basis for empathy -- fellow feeling
for the commonality of humanity
Better to do what we can with
those we want to benefit,
rather than arrogantly do for them
Making America Weak as a kitten
We find what we look for
Better to look for good solutions,
beautiful reflections
Too simplistic
Life cannot be like that --
can't be pressed into one dimension,
and still live
Even matters that seem on the surface
to be obvious, when taken in from afar
within the wider landscape, or
within the eyes and voices of a greater
audience, may prove unfathomable
without complex thought and care
So easy to aver: that is our sensible course.
But where will that course resolve, how,
who suffers, how do they react?
Not counseling lack of of action;
demanding lack of hubris.
Yes, let them know you love them.
Say: "I see you" "I appreciate you"
and mean it
There is an intentionality of cruelty
to being evil. Acts which are in service
to evil may be entered by accident --
the act is evil, but not the actor who is
acting from good intention.
A truly democratic system of governance
would, at its basis understand that
government is not some possibly hostile
them; it is us.
It's not free speech that needs
restricting, but free lies
