like a molecule on the tit of space
not my job to bury your politics
nor is it your job to bury mine
some cosmic pissing match
and ain't that amusing

there are forces that benefit from how far we can break our self down into ineffective squabbling factions that are too focused on a single item or two...

it seems to me more obvious than ever before, the vast divide between the haves and have-nots.......yet we bicker among ourselves as the thieves are getting away with the loot....

I'm sure the 2% of the wealthiest people on the planet that are poised to get tax cuts, as you say, find it all ," amusing".....

the middle class is all but gone......long live the kings.....

just watched a big demonstration in London where thousands of young people, many 13, 14, & 15 were demonstrating against cuts to higher education....it ended with a 15 year old giving this impassioned speech that blew me away........we need more of this......the current world is not a spectator sport.......lets run down out of the bleachers before it's too late
( if you are interested, i think I watched it on GRIT TV )...it was inspirational to see young people so motivated.....

sorry for the long winded response.....i just finished my coffee.....

Needs saying more often, but in words "kings" can understand. I still think we need a third political party--of poets. jim
