Footnotes
Looking through the keyhole of Love
and this is what you’d find

When the grandchildren began to speak
there are two grandmothers
so one was recognized as grandma and
the other recognized as Nana.
That way whenever the children spoke,
we all knew who they were referring to.
I am Nana

Seconds in a day

86400
Seconds
In a day
Tick-tock
Tick- tock
Time is
Passing
Away

Never ceasing
Always increasing
Moving forward
So much to do and say
Before you call it a day
Life is passing you by
In the blink of an eye
Moving forward
Why is time
So fleeting
So defeating

Five
More
Minutes
If you Please
300 seconds
Allergies
A wind
To create
A sneeze
Relentless

1,000,000 seconds
Translates to be
The inertia of
You and Me

TikTok
Watch
The clock
Time is
Passing by
In the blink
Of an eye
Until we say
Goodbye

Inspired Song
Time in a Bottle , 1972
By Jim Croce

July 2024
This has been in my draft poems
for a while
until I got it right
where I want it

Born with a clean slate

Loved ones teach kids how to HATE

Each day Choose good versus bad

Children mimic watch and learn

Live by example your turn

America under Fire Domestic Terrorist

Nobody
Saw this coming
In unison they begin
All media nose a joint
Same talking points
Teslas are burning
Obscenities churning
Bullhorns are turning
Domestic terrorist
Molotov cocktail
Concerted effort
In the streets
Citizens last
To speak
Destruction without missing a beat
11 states thus far, drum beats fire heats.
Destroying Tesla
Buildings and Cars
Private information
Public made known
Hacking systems
they condone
Targeting Tesla owners destroy
Terrorist play games power decoy
Elon Guilty by association Trump
Elon Works free, SpaceX DOGE
astronaut’s home no reprieve
He exposed their ***** secrets
American citizens believe truth
No longer can they hide uncouth
What was hid is now openly known

Foot notes
I tried to make a picture of a face and body in a sitting position. I think I captured the face pretty well the perfect protruding nose . just like a government official their nose in everybody’s business.
This is what I call WORD ART

Nemesis VS Samaritan

Good Samaritan

Or nemesis in us all

Who will win the fight

Each will show themselves in time

Who wins the one you feed chose

Tanka haiku.

Inspired Songs

1) the Good Samaritan
Lyric Video YouTube 2009
Children’s worship song
about compassion and kindness
Luke 10: 25-37

Nemesis2015
By Benjamin Clementine

Footnote
Every day all day long, we make choices between doing something good or doing something bad evil. Each of us have the capacity to be the good Samaritan or to be somebody’s nemesis. And the person we choose in the path we take is predicated on who we are and what we feed

Most people don’t know ,in the parable of the good Samaritan. The injured man on the ground was the Samaritan’s worst enemy. His nemesis. Yet he showed kindness and passion.paying for his care.

Cultures Assimilate Americans Are

NOT color race creed

Americans are people

Of all walks of life

The great melting *** diverse

Americans must reunite

Tanka Haiku
5 lines 31 syllables
Syllable count 5-7-5-7-7

FYI
I see the American flag as the symbol of America
The land of the brave and the free
There are people who want to divide American
Based on all kinds of crazy things. Don’t lose sight.
Of how much blood was shed to get us to where we are today. Nothing and nobody is perfect, but we can stand proud as probably the last nation for what it is on this earth. To those who speak ill of America,
You’re entitled to your opinion I strongly suggest
For your happiness, you seek life elsewhere.
This great adventure the melting *** of society is a wonderful construct without all the evil.
Putting up with the good the bad the ugly still
I am a proud America
