The Tortoise and the "Hair"

I "spring forward" with the grace of a tortoise
Weighted down by my home in a shell
Never sticking my neck out, has a purpose
With one foot in heaven and six feet to hell

The "whether" gets warmer from the cold
And a lights beckons to the dark
To venture out, to become bold
But a 'net" awaits, and so the shark

Many miles have been traveled
With no time to think about "stuff"
Lots of history needs to be unraveled
And the measure of when "enough is enough"

Old is not new, so why pretend
Better of worse, no longer to decide
My shell is thicker, but, until the end
I'll bask in the sun, and keep my head inside

To Love or Not to Love.. That is question.

Love is all around
But it's something that can't be found
You can not "give" it.. You have to live it
It's independent of being dependent

In search of a love that's real
Is only about how YOU feel
Happy are those in the fantasy
For them......Love is as real as real can be
.
Love from your past, can not last
When it brings you sorrow...
For if you don't have it today..
You'll never find it tomorrow
.
Love is all around
it's something that can't be found.
If you don't realize what this is about
Love can only search itself out.

Seventy Years Too Late

There is a benefit from being old..That younger people should try...But is almost always forced upon older people.
Most people live with negativity in the moment and positivity based on hope and expectations that will occur tomorrow.
We envision what's negative about today, that we can do something to make it better tomorrow. But tomorrows become todays, and "better" is a wheel that turns and goes nowhere, until it's right back where it started.
Expectations from our tomorrows can't be dismissed The change in scenery, the change in the weather, that new job, promotion, or career, the check that's in the mail or 'payday", a vacation, a party, an event, being with friends, better relationships, and LOVE. For most of us these are necessary motivating factors.
Yet we "live"in the moment of today...and even after all the consideration of tomorrows and it's impact. The most positive way to live is to try and make TODAY the best it possibly can be.
Wake up and "live" for today. That's my New's Years resolution. Seventy years too late.

You can stop to smell the roses
or pick them for your own
to share them with other noses
or for just your knows alone.

For joy is a candle in the wind
A light that is shining all about
A gentle breeze can blow it in
or a tempest can blow it out

Of course the New Right has won..

They have made the focus on what they are against.
They have succeed in turning the table..

So that now,, politics is all about, on both sides

Getting THEM, before the get YOU.

I No Longer.......

I no longer look into your eyes
To gaze upon the better ME
Gone are sparkles and loving light
An unwanted sight of reality

I no longer look into mirrors
To gaze with a fool's perception
Gone are desire and possibility
And truth found in reflection

I no longer look at the journey
and gaze upon my destiny
For as the road nears its end
It conveys what rests in me

A life created by human contact
Resolves to define the fact
From our awakening with mother
Life continually depends on one another

And in our turn
it's how we learn
and beyond our reach
It's how we teach

But a change in circumstance
Prevents a learning chance
and what human contact means
Is only discovered through our "screens"

Truth and lies can not learn
from a "screen shot" to discern
And the dreams we use to know
are crushed beneath..the weight of "My Pillow"

Segregation vs Integration

Slavery was abolished after the Civil War,, But that was just a "legal" matter. Good God fearing people.. thought that ended it..
But did it rey?
Prejudice and injustice...no matter the form.. is always based segregati

The Civil war ended slavery.. and began segregati.. very little actuy change.

We've spent 0 years living with segregati..the situati we are in now.. can be directly related 2 the battle between segregatiists and integratiists..
In 0 years.... it wasn't until Barrack Obama.. That integratiists finy started 2 win..And now the segregatiists are mad as hell, and just trying 2 hold 2 the Great Arica they ce knew.

Republicans passed the infrastructure bill.

I know you probably d't get it and you probably d't care..

But nothing is more revealing and evident than actuy taking votes.

I could explain it you... but if you d't already know
What's the point?
