JOURNAL #27 memories too
can clot
ambitions rage
at the force that yonder takes
amid the constant jagged
postulation
of rambling speech martyrs
crowing
flawed too as they are
in the latest mold
of a non specific point of comment
the lot
clusterers to one radically eroded
idea
and the assembly for
inflammatory remarks
followed by self congratulatory rhetoric
only to then become further rattled
by unforseen impediments
so foreign to their masked approach
the strength of the human spirit
in the aftermath of human devastation
never having truly suffered before
in such a hushed vein of religious suppression
this labor of existence forgos
the bumps and throes of starched humility
in all its darkest grandeur
in the eyes of the gougers
this statement all too easily could spat back
a life altering consequence
excruciatingly unfolded
shattered masses of former selves
mere wounded shards of a previous innocent
existence
left stunned in disbelief
now empowered
they move forward
undivided still
learning again to walk with confidence
living today with even more purpose and grace
in a manner we embrace and thank our enemies
for this gift
we now breath, work and socialize unafraid and whole
and a frail, frank many despite the odds
indeed have done just that
an ultimate pay back
to all the anti Americanism and for most to those
19 thieves of precious human innocence
on a more personal note
for me
34 in the earliest moments of this shifting
21rst century
with all its entailing bad and good combatants
is a most illuminating age
I am a me now that I'd like to know today
confused still on many lesser levels
but entirely at one with God
good to go
straight forward
unafraid for my soul
and almost even sweeter
for having been
trampled as I was
an innocent revised
just like
my so beloved America
