The Olive Trees of Palestine
The olive trees of Palestine
are dying.
Not only
in the bloodsoaked fields of
war. They’re being
chopped down in
the fields of those
who grow them –
for profit
and for warmth in houses still standing in the fog
of war that
wraps them in damp tears.
These trees, so
long revered
not only as income but
as a reflection of
the soul of
Palestine, are the
bedrock of
a nation.
How I wish an olive branch
would be extended
across that
bloody divide and
replaced with
civil words –
a bridge of coexistence
in a better world

plainsong
no need to be epic
highflownness unnecessary
unzip your skin
breathe in the little things
a cup of coffee half full and crying
at an empty table
the music of branches as the wind sighs
laundromats full of lonely people
birthdays and the emptybed blues
there are heroes in the everyday
stories on the sidewalk
songs in the stars
jeepers creepers
open up your peepers
write the life surrounding

you raise a good point but you know I was married and worked and I had a son to raise and a husband to feed and yet I was president of our Lake association sat on the board of finance in the town and was a trustee of the library and eventually went back to work somehow I managed to do this I had nobody to help me except my husband and some neighbors occasionally who could babysit and that was it I'm not saying that makes me fabulous I'm just saying it can be done

@RCdeWinter My grandmother stopped school at age 12 to work & raise her sister. She was the most intelligent and clever person I’ve known, as well. I’m concerned about the uninformed. Many are simply too busy with kids, work, bills & health to be able to immerse themselves in current events.

getting to know you
can we sit easy
you and i
without the need to
fill whatever flows between us
with nervous chatter
motheaten clichés
unnecessary and embarrassing
personal revelations?
sometimes the truth lives
in the silence between words
i would like to listen to
the music of your soul

I won't argue with you about goodness, my father was one of the most undereducated people I knew and he was one of the best however he was also very savvy he was the most street smart person I've ever known but for people who are under educated and frightened because there is so much they don't understand are the ones I'm talking about and they exist in large numbers they often are attracted to what appears to be strength even if the message is corrupt

@RCdeWinter Our problems are NOT simply due to poor education. Every sane and moral person knows uneducated to very uneducated people who wouldn’t ever be republican or MAGANazi. Education is part of the problem but truly good people will always be truly good people regardless of education.

don't sugarcoat
what cannot be excused
you can't justify betrayal
ribbons won't disguise lies
you steal hope
and call it our bright future
my eyes see beyond
the dark curtain
cloaking your sins
i spit on your falsity
as i struggle to breathe the
air you've polluted with treason and lies

Sadly, #MAGA @MAGAVoice and #MyMAGA will begin to realize too late - that this is #WarOfChoice about @realdonaldtrump's attempt to cover for his #Rape of #Children after many of their Young Men and Women are killed and the @GOP Leadership refuses to do nothing about it - because they're scared of him.
WAKE UP #MAGA.

🚨“The U.S. is planning for a wider war,” said one U.S. official familiar with internal administration discussions. “We do not have enough to safely sustain operations, and I don’t think the White House is aware of that,” the official said. Military experts have said that in addition to the toll taken on U.S. equipment and munitions stocks, the U.S. is unprepared for possible ground operations inside Iran, which Trump last week refused to rule out. “I think it would be a mistake to put ground forces anywhere in islands in the strait or onshore,” said Seth Jones, who heads the defense and security department at the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies. “I don’t think U.S. forces are prepared for standoff strikes from Iranians." 🚨NOTE: If the American People don't put a stop to this we will be in another #Vietnam - all to cover @readonaldtrump #Rape of #Children - and the @GOP Leadership's #Impotence. #GirlFromKansasAndTexas

The first members of @ICEgov were some of the #ProudBoys exonerated by Trump after the insurrection. Trump himself stated that he felt there could be a place in government for the proud boys and I believe he's found one.
Some sources try to deny this which shows how far a little money
and/or intimidation will go with the press but here's one that confirmed it.

ICE. Oligarchs seek these discardable people. Probably refer to them the as the discardables. When it’s all falling apart, which it will, they will feed these flawed people to the masses by emphasizing “personal responsibility”. ICE guys didn’t slip though. They were selected.

@JohnSin77034530 absolutely because they have no consciences and they love to kill

of course they were selected for their brutality and willingness to shoot without asking any questions they're psychopaths – they have no consciences

🚨JUST IN: Donald Trump was reportedly furious and having a meltdown that FIFA, Spain, and every sports news network edited him out of the photos of the World Cup trophy celebration before posting them online.
