hard wood floors

and a mighty quiet

what's a philistine?

Quips from granny's mouth

cookies from her oven

are psychotropics really necessary?

a rusted out quarter panel

overgrown lawn out back

aren't toothpicks kind of a waste?

I mean in the big picture.. really.

final jeopardy

the curtains are dark blue

Why do cops hurt these people?

judge did a turnabout

foreclosed on her house

There are seven of them wishing now,

that yesterday had lasted a bit longer

and lawyers were allergic to lies.

    oww, sorry to hear that...they're messing with too many good people. It will come back on them too. The more I read the more I see this spring with more and more people coming out in protest.

    we need to write more poems to help them, if nothing else. And when it's current event, we can post to All of NewsVine, not just to the groups..:)

      Firefall...ah feel you. Why does anyone intentionally inflict pain, hardship and suffering on another? Don't let it make you bitter. Let it make you resolved to do whatever you can do to make a meaningful difference. I feel sadness and sorrow for you and your friends. The hardships and suffering have different meanings for each of us and reflects on all of us. It makes the great...small and the small...great.

        hey Time!... the first question as you well know is one that doesn't come with answer that satisfies or ever ends... does it. Save that sadness and sorrow, let it ferment, and apply a fuse... the least of those who have no fight left rely on us.

        I'm tired of turning away without having solved some of it... one way or taother.

        stop in sometime... unpeoplesunion.com :)

          Tragic that the vulnerable are the first to be focused on by banks and those in power. Even though this happens all through nature, it is difficult to process and accept.

          it does not happen all through nature.

          until we return to all fours, i expect human beings to be as moral as they preach, live by the standard they themselves set...

          and face the consequences when they do not.

          i process just fine, and I do not accept this kind of dysfunction from the elite, who are well educated and do know better but choose to act as they do.

          have a nice day.
