Yes for a decade

or two or three

No this year

one step forward

be one with

the dinosaurs

progress for many

then fascism.

.

A good spiel

strong arm old

ladies, shoot any

one, police paid 

to watch.


usa used to be

a place to seek

somehow became

a place where

symbols mean

the statue

of servitude.

.

By the time you

figure what piece

you are in the game

game over or game

change or time served

means end game.

Absolutely true! Just when

Absolutely true! Just when we see some progress, we're back in a prehistoric hellscape of hate and ignorance. How I wish I could argue with your assessment that our "symbols mean/ the statue/ of servitude", but I can't. 

 

"By the time you

figure what piece

you are in the game

game over or game

change or time served

means end game."

 

Those superb lines hit the mark with heartbreaking precision. Reality hurts but this needs to be said. You did it well.

story of my life. How strange

story of my life. How strange that what we grew up knowing is no longer or changing. Such instability is not good for people and nation.

Economic Systems

Grow, corruption is attracted, wealth horded, poorer denizens powerless - except todays trend. They quit. Oh oh. Trouble in paradise. Overnight, gas went up ten cents in Michigan to $4.80. And I refuse to pay three dollars for one orange. A message will run screaming back up the supply chain soon.
