POEMS & FLEETING THOUGHTS
THE END
For our country,
I feel this
Is the beginning
Of the end.
And we
Are in part
Responsible.
I once used a line in a poem, ‘a sadness too deep to be real’.
It is becoming real.
There are still those full of poetry, stories and art. They struggle to survive and they always will. But greed has taken over this country.
The only comfort for me personally is that I will be dead when this great country’s dream is unrecognizable.
A FRIGHTENING SIMILARITY
IMAGES OF HITLER
I first had this feeling whenever I saw Trump signing a new piece of legislation as all around him, Vic President Pence, Paul Ryan and others smiling and affirming their agreement, no matter
Dare they not?
I recall a meeting I once viewed of a meeting with Trump and his cabinet. Sitting around a table each member was given a chance to speak. The comments went around the table as each member present gave a glowing report of Trump’s presidency. Dare they do otherwise?
This recalled an image of Hitler. Reflections of his generals telling Hitler that all was fine as the world stumbled to chaos.
POEMS & FLEETING THOUGHTS: CONFUSION
THE PAST AND PRESENT
I recall the little boy
Full of hope
And no one
To give him
Guidance.
Thoughts beyond
His young mind
Could not understand.
He became a man
And as in his youth
There are no answers.
POEMS & FLEETING THOUGHTS
THE SECRET MESSAGE
I know I promised to return to the art of writing, but thoughts and life interfere.
Life
We settle
For the superficial,
That is what we are taught,
What we are trained to accept,
But those
Who think beyond,
Pondering their existence,
Pondering questions
Their life does not fulfill
Risk madness,
Or perhaps,
True happiness.
OUR NATION’S HEART WEEPS
I hesitate to write this piece. Knowing human nature I am sure many will write articles about the tragedy in Los Vegas to express sorrow but a hidden reason, perhaps hidden from themselves, is to draw attention. With this in mind I write this article, not to draw attention but to voice an attitude I don’t understand. Therefore, I am not including any taglines for this piece. I don’t
When Sandy Hook occurred resulting in the death of twenty six and seven year olds, I thought things may finally change. That the nation would wake up to a wrong some hold dear. I have nothing against hunting. But who hunts with a semi-automatic weapon. Handguns are used to protect one’s family. But who needs a semi-automatic pistol to protect that family. I don’t understand how anyone can purchase a mass amount of weapons and not raise a red flag.
As I hear the numbers of fatalities I think this is not a shooting, this is the result of a plane crash. Then when I hear the number of fatalities and wounded, I think, this is not a shooting, this is on the level of a natural disaster. Unfortunately, this disaster is all too natural in our country.
OBSERVATIONS AND OPINIONS
I fear our species
Is an experiment
To be eliminated
From our precious planet,
Greed and denial
Are the culprits,
Religions encourage
Our destruction,
Our mindset
Offers no help,
Our fate is sealed.
