Recuse is in the news
Withdraw all efforts
Corruption is now the norm
Normal abnormal
Still disturbing
Russian hackers
Making names for old politicians
No clarity from the top
No direct vision
All the while corners are being
“Turned”
New tones are being drawn
All the while I lay back and yawn
Is this over yet
Are we back in campaign season
Or are we waiting to go back in session
Is there a limit to wrong
At some point is it all gone
The ability to screw things up
Over and over again and again
Writer repeat send
How many letters do we need to not have
To read anymore
How long can it all go wrong
A day
A year
Eternity
Affirm me
Please that is not a possibility
Impossible
But possibly
I guess it could go on eternally
I will wait
And see
What is taken away
Raked away with hope
Diamond true
My eyes lay on you
Hope in your wind blown heart
Each and every part of us
Has been taken away with little seeds
Of anxiety
Highly anticipated
The news will arise from the dark
Our live will rise
From the bellows
From the bellows
The blame game
As the numbers go lower
Lower
No respect for these games
It’s a lame game
No one is panicked
No one is insane
The sane say that this is insane
Build your own facts
Build your own stories
The talking heads support what they want
Elites walk around confused
And then there is me and you
Trying to figure it out
Hold on
All the glory of mistakes
Happening in the bright light
Casting certain lime light
On details confusing at best
I attest lost interest
Of losing interest
The holy grail of Hollywood
Being laid to rest
What happens next
Such a stupid fang
A wrong clip
At the wrong moment
Who claims to be the relative opponent
Maybe it’s the rub of the grape
Fermented a bit too long
Alcohol preserved now
No going back to the old way
It’s just a stupid fang
Teeth I am not proud of
Moments lacking in empathy
Writing wistfully
Hopefully
But these fangs are not going away anytime soon
What is the feisty destiny of this fang tooth
Goodnight bright lights
Sirens of the police
Right outside the front door
Where my wife and I sleep
Goodnight LA
I guess there was a misunderstanding
A man was shot outside
While we were away planning
I guess this changes the future
Safety is a fleeting hope
Maybe we should just move along
Go away from this house
Away from the long night
Two steps and give flight
I hope the man was alright
Tonight
Words do in fact matter
Matter of fact
They matter quite substantially
Unequivocally utilize words precisely
Timely
Responsibly
What we mean is what we say
What we say has meaning and intent
Intend on the best
Be aware of what you say
Say it with purpose and conviction
Sickening when used with ill intention
Words are the base of our communication
The foundation of understanding
So the use of words
Must not be passive
But commanding
Real people showing up in real rooms
Filled with real emotions
Not a Facebook news story
Not cheap news shared from a desktop
But real people
Real hearts and real concerns
Time to face the facts
People are not happy
And it is not for the reasons we see on the news
News
Keep your ear to the ground and you will hear
The hearts of the people
Not in tune with media
But in tune with each other
Preparing to change the future
I have directly noted
That on the 23rd of February
I have witnesssed my first fight
Over the price of food
Politics and celebrities are all fun and games
When people can’t eat
That is worrying
It’s not a Facebook story
Fake news
It’s the truth
Lived out in real time
Words to fight
Over the rise in food costs
Unreal
Real
Happpenings right now
In our country
