man down

how must if feel, a knee in your back, pressed against concrete hands all over you, voices screaming in your face, you cannot think, the sound of your heart choking off your breath. the skin on your head is being pulled by the gravel and your mind goes to your wife who will.......

pop pop pop pop

from above you look down on your body not moving under two men still screaming and then up at a blue sky. your babies. your babies, what will happen to your babies now.

and with the final breath a soft sweet gentle swaying sound lifts you higher and away.

below, the chaos turns to a hatred, rich with anger and a family is<b> torn </font></b>into pieces.
You cannot conceive the many without the one.

 i dont' even have words...for this, what you've written, or what is happening in this country. My heart hurts.
Always tell the truth
Use kind words
Keep your promises
Giggle and laugh
Be positive
Love one another
Always be grateful
Forgiveness is mandatory
Try new things
Say please and thank you
Say your prayers
Smile

 Poignant. It feels like we're coming apart, all this killing.

it does feel like that.

my fear is the apathy.........the number of people who just shrug and act like nothing is happening.........

or the ones that think Trump is the answer and isolationism and more guns and invasive control is the way to solve the issues

 Ditto, Author51. Too much hatred. Sigh. Breathe.

Moving on to the power of love...

I wish.

there seems little power of love in the USA right now.

 We need to remember to be kind to each other, and not just when it's easy.

it's never easy.....it takes thought and a certain mind set.

right now, I feel like we need so much more than kindness.

we need outrage.

 I am fucking pissed.

And I'm tired off trying to wake up those of my friends who cling to their oblivion.

And yet, trying to wake them up IS my job.

Beautifully written.

So much so that I think it needs a wider audience.
Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale
Her infinite variety. Other women cloy
The appetites they feed, but she makes hungry
Where most she satisfies. For vilest things
Become themselves in her, that the holy priests
Bless her when she is riggish. ~~ from Antony & Cleopatra
