Pink thots and prayers

 

The satisfaction about violence --

it’s direct.

Hit what we feel we need to hit

with our bodies

with our weapons

all through our imaginations,

building, building

desire.

 

 

 

Stop acting as if America is poor.

Stop acting like it’s ok to bleed her.

Stop acting like this is who we are,

demand to be.

Understand, wealth means

responsibility

to act wisely --

not license to destroy.

 

 

 

there is always more work to be done

than we can easily imagine, and thus

the potential for more jobs than there are

people to do them. 

What is needed is people who organize

the work into jobs. 

Why would you think that couldn't be

you and your friends?

 

 

 

 

wondering in this time of serious divisiveness

and fake news who to trust? 

My solution devised here and now: 

watch -- are their actions those of

a truly kind person?

 

 

 

 

I know many times I am thinking I must

do this thing now, feel anxiety to get it done. 

Later, after I have somehow been blocked

from doing it, now I realize I wasn't ready,

didn't have all the knowledge or resources

or good planning I would need to do it right.
