A poem. And music. (SY4)

Baby you're my everything

I like to think (and
the sooner the better)
of a daily pledge
to honor the marvels
of civilization
our ancestors struggled
to provide believing
all destinations are
temporary

I like to think
(right now please!)
of the breaking news alert
when we learn the corruption is total
and the only people
who have the courage to
end this are
all of us
and Robert Mueller

I like to think
(it has to be!)
of a walk of silence
millions of bodies in every city
expressing shame for
our wastefulness
of the gift of life
and all of it
just to make a little more money

+++

Some good music.

Peace and love,
Yancey
