To know you
Is
To love you
More
Each day
Still trying
Still searching
For
Perfect words
To say?

Our republic died today;
i wonder who noticed?

Very few, i am certain,
since most were busy trying
to survive in this economy,
or feed their children,
or worried about healthcare (still),
or trying to escape this reality,
but something fundamental is
different now.

The Senate took away the
teeth of the filibuster today.
Simple majority rules now,
no more consensus building.

       So?  I don't care about politics or politicians.

That is a shame, because they
care about you.  In fact,
they are counting on you.

To stay distracted.
To think tyranny is only for distant lands.
To think that today's reform won't be
       tomorrow's crushing defeat.

Black America:
       What if tomorrow the House of Representatives
       passes a law to make you all slaves again?

LGBT Americans:
       What if tomorrow the House makes it a law that
       all of you be imprisoned for being who you are?

Women Americans:
       What if tomorrow the House takes away the
       abortion option, or worse?

All of you are outnumbered.

Remember...majority rules now.  The Senate won't slow it down.
Be careful who you *******.

Because debate and careful consideration
are no longer valued in this Democratic
pseudo-Utopia.
It interferes with their agenda.

Petty tyrants don't just rule in
Third World countries.
Not anymore.

They work on Capitol Hill and live in the White House.

A happy heart
Is an honest heart
It dances with the sun

No hatred found
No battles fought
No wars to be won

A happy heart is giving
Loving to the core
Forgiving all  Discrepancies
That happened long before

It radiates the joy of life
Turns darkness into light

{A happy hearts contented}

Like a star *

It shines so bright ~

Some nights I forget my way to the home
home? where is that? which side of the road?
I keep straying away empty streets I roam!

Where is the ****** moon? I shout
the moon is gone but the stars are out
stars, please, handhold me and guide
tell me my home is on which side!

Am I awake or a pawn in a game?
why every house looks the same?
my steps fall on some window light patch
I must go back must start from scratch!

window? ah, is there one with a face?
so I can say it's my address
hey stars, be this seeker's guide
lead me to my home, take me to her side!

may be a door for me kept ajar
two eyes are staring one guiding star
one heart that knows the night is not out
two ears keenly waiting for a shout

catch me from falling put me on bed
despair seizing yet hands on my head

*moon is ****** stars gone to fetch morn
I don't see her tears her nights forlorn!

they asked me what i am grateful for.
i think of you.
and that smile.
and those eyes.
and that voice...
a person could drown in all of those
simple features that
make you you.

i am so thankful for you.
for you being alive.
for you being here, with me.
for you being the one who
saved me from myself.

thank you.
keep safe over the holidays and
have a wonderful thanksgiving
without me, dear.

scientists have said
humans are the only
organisms able to
express their thoughts,
but i often find that
to be untrue.

if people could
directly communicate
their emotions and feelings
i would know what is
happening
between me
and you.

Humanity.
We pride ourselves in
Our sciences
Our technology
Our histories
And our knowledge.

We are born barely knowing
How to communicate
How to eat
How to see
Or how to identify things.

And as time goes on,
We learn basics
And live quite happily
At least for a decade.

But then we are told about
Our sciences
Our technology
Our histories
And our social norms.

But it seems so
That we ignore much of it
And simply absorb social norms
Refusing anything outside of it.

So as we live on
Decade upon decade
Some learn nothing
Some believe they know everything.

As we die, peacefully or not,
Some regret many things
Some wish for more time
And some just don’t care.

Often, as some die,
We die just as stupid
As we were when we were born
And only to our own choice...
