Authority vs Despot: Putinn has an Oligarch priblem, here we call them uber rich, biden has 3 more years, vlad ther for as long as his life lasts. Oil, gas, and diamonds vs everything else manufactured on earth. East Ukraine vs West Ukraine? Free world (cough cough) vs. a king. usa citizens fight each other, russians have 30 year orotester prison semtences - the Gulag is back! When the shelves empty, we complain, russians starve quietly or leave their country. Vlad poisons the opposition, he is insane - Jojoman may have senility issues and fights for better housing and taxes our oligarchs. Yeah, pretty much the same, SS. .

The Still Breathing:
Look to gods, while standing next to a mirror. They really need to fix gradeschools and colleges. It only works with partcipation and few of us read. We work , we play, laugh and love and accumulate stuff. By sloth or by design no matter, nature is coming soon to a sky near you. .

I Enjoy Bigly: Poetry with ideals and POV. A mind working out civilization's current active volcano status(es). p.s. Biden's tax to pay for deficit is interesting - strategy: create a bill then have wealthy pay for it. That is fair, they suck out milliions/blllions for stuff we want - Amazon, net, tv et al, so they get to keep monopolies for a fee. Hmmmm... off shore globalzation snafus may change the Econ-world order, I'm thinkin'. Standard Oil, anyone?

Cartoons Helped: The open carry law in Mchigan has kids seeing guns. Adults prefer not to see them seen or used - personal arsenal. Personal power is the fear - reference Rittenhouse and parents. .
Israel has no problem with never again motives with soldiers patrolling their nation's streets. Imagne usa if all citizens were required one year training in military service. Peace in somebody else's time is the slogan for the 23rd Century. The Zee-ers are going to inherit a world in melt-down. Heard any good polar caps are melting jokes lately? .

Amen: ..to that! Beautifully spoken. Keeping the channels of communication open with our own physical and emotional selves is paramount to health and contentment.
Nice lines:
"A heart tuned, toned" Often when I read a poet , I find a line or two leaps from the page. If more lines grab me I declare it a winner. "Magnetic Adhering" is a winner! Vocabulary is sooooo nice. Write On!

Musical tempo: Rich in energy. Nicely fashioned, both in presentation and beat. Musical to the point that I started playing chords on my piano keyboard to the words.
"Scars are souveniers you never lose": (Words from The Goo Goo Dolls "Name", if you haven't heard it)
Mhm. To go somewhere is one thing, but to actually be there, now that's something. Better to collect experiences, good and bad, than the material that turns out to be immaterial.
Well said: Often, it seems the limitations place on us by others are merely due to the limitations of their understanding and/or imagination. Sometimes, it's quite well meant, but no one can better come to know what you're capable of better than yourself. Know one else can fully imagine your potential's expanse ; ) Some people can just see more and believe in it, even without fully being able to trace it's edges. For each of us, those are our greatest supporters in life.
"...I need you to want it more than me": That's a great line. And great advice. We can become mired in the muck of hopelessness towards our own well-being. We all need pulling out of the mud, sometimes, but being there can become so habitual that some people start to fight against the tug, rather than push towards the pull. Not always realizing they are exhausting the very person trying to help them, as well as their own selves. Such a state becoming a sort of drug.
Just the same, there are situations where positive just isn't the answer, either. There are not always rays of sunshine, no matter how hard we try to will the sun into existence. In those times, the best a person can hope for is that those rays will return in time, but mourning may be required. It's not always mourning for a loved lost, sometimes it's mourning for the death of a dream, or of a part of our innocence, or something else significant. In those situations, sometimes a person just needs to lay in the mud for a little while and know that it's okay.
