After this long day

aggressive decompression

just came out to play

~

After a long day

decompression, passive or

aggressive, goes a long way.

If we surrender

our need to control will we

become cogs in others’ wheels?

~

Control is a myth,

not something to surrender;

but we can gum up the works.

Can we be prepared

for coming atrocities

perpetrated in our name?

~

Let us begin now

to make such atrocities

a thing of the past.

He took it all, but

took nothing in so always

he had to go back for more.

~

Resources squandered

to no discernible gain

most always leave one hungry.

Must we just accept

petulant protestations

of our twitterer in chief?

~

They say a divine

spark is within each of us.

Reject tweets; look for the spark.

Once upon a time,

in a land so far away,

people lived in peace.

~

Fairy tales always

begin that way. How can we 

bring that far away land home?

Did you know that when

a group of poets gather

they’re referred to as a Heard?

~

It’s also well known

that gathering four poets

will produce a fifth.

How can we find joy

when we bathe, regularly,

in sludgy human psyche?

~

As kids we loved to

 play in mud. Perhaps we can

bypass adult aversion.

Who among us knows

how to find the best in those

who bring out the worst in us?

~

Remember; who pulls

from our darkest hidden moats

offer us the greatest growth.

In all history

has there ever been a more

asinine casus belli?

~

If you mean the feud

between Kushner and Bannon

I’d say definitely not.
