allets commented on: Colours by SSmoothie 4 years 25 weeks* ago* One Day: For now, too much hate and murder against everyone. (Guns) As writers we have a responsibility to dream. You cannot eat a dream, however. (Inflation). Optimsm calls are great morale boosters. We need that. Character calls rock (this poem). Reality tends to knock suddenly. The wealthy will be immune (Ubers) - unless nuclear options settle arguments (Putin). My boss is Black is a neo-theme. We are in transition. . I wish I had that kind of optimism (character inside defeats power structures). Nations are collapsing, Africa will suffer the most. Whites are let in at the usa borders (red carpet), blacks/browns sent back. I wish it were different. I wish I had proof that saying is reality. It is not, nor has it ever been. Roe will increase black and brown numbers. In usa, numbers matter. A reality. The balance is about fear of power and wealth loss (watch race of next immigrant wave). Boomers dying, replenishment of population by reversing Roe will not be enough. Gray power! (I'm a Baby Boomer). . Been down the it's okay road before. It still feels hateful down there, bullets flying and that (national hatred crisis). We aim now for education and wealth, nice cribs, cars, and 1.4 kids. Color still matters, but power (cash and fame) ease out the bad wishers via class restrictions in usa. Truth. Critical Race Theory posits change the laws, changes the behavior (we will see). Nothing will ever alter hate against groups. Ever. Ask Rome, Egypt, Germany, Israel, Afghanistan, Texas, Florida, Georgia . . . . Love and Hugs . ~A~. [ go to comment ]

allets commented on: When we dream by alex73 4 years 25 weeks* ago* Dreamers: . Traversing lifescapes wandering homeless as if no roof inside sleep wants you. . Why is no way to begin a sentence. How is so much the way. Belief syndromes arise from dreamers who cannot live without sleep. . Lady A . [ go to comment ]

patriciajj commented on: Love is a shapeshifter by SSmoothie 4 years 25 weeks* ago* Each definition could stand: Each definition could stand alone as a persuasive and stylish description of something with so many forms and facets that it's daunting to even try to pin it down. But surprisingly, you covered a lot of bases here with cunning, perception and charm. Loving every line. Impressive! [ go to comment ]
patriciajj commented on: Colours by SSmoothie 4 years 25 weeks* ago* The words are infallible: The words are infallible truth injected with the power of your conviction and intelligence. The last line thunders because of your shrewd, plunging structure. Amen and bravo! [ go to comment ]
patriciajj commented on: Walnut by patriciajj 4 years 25 weeks* ago* "skipping along on the: "skipping along on the pebbles of thought". I adore how you put that. A thousand thank you's for your gorgeous expression. I admire your work as well. You are a gift. [ go to comment ]
patriciajj commented on: SPOONFEEDING THE RELIGION by georgeschaefer 4 years 25 weeks* ago* Good for you! A well-written: Good for you! A well-written declaration of independence from mainstream "spoonfeeding". You gracefully expressed that spirituality is not a one-size-fits-all journey, and that it's difficult to transcend when weighed down by the fear-based religion of a "self-righteous charlatan preacher". Keep thinking for yourself. [ go to comment ]

allets commented on: Inflation Blues by allets 4 years 25 weeks* ago* Price of Beef: Or gas, record profits - suffering is ignored, price gouging and exploiting opportunity - yeah that too. All of it; oil, gas, wheat, the lesson in no baby formula. As supply chains stop, it unravels, China's economy fails, Russia, EU nations fine until winter happens. Meanwhile, rights erode here and voting may be rigged by '24. Covid is reported rising in N. Korea and Detroit, MI. We watch. . ~A~. [ go to comment ]
allets commented on: Love is a shapeshifter by SSmoothie 4 years 25 weeks* ago* Truths: Love arrives in many forms, "masquerqading" or lusty, from surprising places, with hugs and hearts. We move closer when times are tough, rediscover in us a capacity to adore. . Many faces, many features--love. ~A~ [ go to comment ]
SSmoothie commented on: SPOONFEEDING THE RELIGION by georgeschaefer 4 years 25 weeks* ago* Well there is religious and then there is: Well there is religious and then there is spiritual They dont often go together in an organised fashion But the climate faith and the identity faith and the religion of science and its spin off pseudo science all have the one thing in common -indoctrination and it uses its lackies to enforce it through manipulative tactics. Be free but don't be free of everything you are entitled to it all without the others interpretation. We must all find our own way through the quagmire of life and and after and then some. At least she cared enough to try. Love is complicated like that. [ go to comment ]
