…at the dawn of the Great American brOligarchy, taking our pick from the flora et fauna, and we still decide who lives and who dies. We are pit against each other in our arena of capitol that is bringing us down with a system so vast that even the minions can erase you.
…But where there is life and love and beauty there is hope.
We continue on because there is imperative to life and love and beauty.
We live on not because we can’t die but because we must see the life and the love and the beauty prevail.
We’ve been through a lot together Dena, me (James) and all of you but that doesn’t mean we can rest, and I mean, not for a second.
We have jobs to do. We have projects to complete. We must fix what we have broken and whatever it takes we must continue on with our lives and loves and our beauty.
So here we shit at the top of the food chain in the third decade of the twenty-first century… still taking our pick of the flora et fauna… we still decide who lives and who dies but we’re not pit against each other, or at least we don’t have to be, and we can bring it all down with a system so vast that even their minions won’t escape us.
Peace first!
I agree–BUT—I’m still fighting the depression the election put me in. The only time I used to watch the news was when I sat down to eat but now I haven’t watched a news show since, well you know since ‘what’. At the base of my being I still believe in the innate goodness of mankind, not so much in each individual man/woman but in the overall I think humanity still has a chance to make all this right. I still insure that I smile at the people working in service jobs, and hold the door for anyone behind me, no matter if it’s male or female, young or old.
I was in Dairy Queen the other day and after paying for my lunch I had exactly $60 cash left. I ask one of the young people working how many were working at that time. She said there were 6 people on duty so I gave her the $60 and told her after I left to give each person a $10 tip and tell them I said thank you.
I know it wasn’t much but I hope it made then feel at least a little oh how good it made me feel.
