Just had another political revelation. I gotta stop thinking about this.

Put the blame where it goes (hint: not on the police)

Here's one example of what's keeping us stirred up against each other. This website makes more money from advertisers by expertly inflaming the public in a greedy bid for views (=$). Folks, I do this marketing stuff for a living, but I try to use my powers for good. Put this kind of shit on your feeds, and you're part of the problem. When you practice bigotry against anyone, including cops, you're "feeding the wrong wolf.

Whoopee ti yi yo, get along little politicians

 

If Will were still with us, I'll bet he'd lasso that whole, yellow-bellied Big Money Gang of rustlers, along with their dirty, no good media henchmen, and he'd get our herd of politicians back. But he ain't here. Guess we'll have to carve some time out of our busy schedules and vote.

We Dance

This poem spilled out of me a while back. Thought it was worth a re-visit:

"We Dance"

I am no racist

I do not see color

until it is

pushed

upon me

But the brown people

have to push

to catch up

How can they

not push?

I am no sexist

but I love

women especially

for their

beautiful softness

Women are behind

because they are weaker

in their arms

but not

in their hearts

I do not make fun

of the crazy,

the retarded, the lame

for I am one

of them

They speak softly

teaching freedom

from ego with

careful words

and injured eyes

Our tribe is endless

if we let it be so

in all its colors

in all its shapes

We dance

Peace is looking us in the eye

What I notice is that no matter what kind of divisive horror the media shows me, I see mostly warm smiles from the real people in the real world around me, no matter what color or religion. Maybe we should spend less time looking at screens and use our eyes as they were intended: to connect with the souls around us.
