“The ship of democracy, which has weathered all storms,
may sink through the mutiny of those on board.”
Grover Cleveland


Poem Artwork


Standing along
At the bow of my ship.
I am the captain,
The seaman,
The quartermaster,
And the helmsman.
I am the master
And the lone passenger,
And I am the only one
Who can see
The approaching storm,
I am the only one
Who understands the danger,
Who knows it will be
No small squall,
But a hurricane capable
Of my ship's destruction.
I cannot save those
Who choose not to believe,
I can only save myself
And any survivors
Who may appear
Alongside.

c. 2024

I can assure you that you are not "the only one," Rebecca. I will simply echo Ron's thoughts on your theme. Thank you for sharing this apt and timely write. Love, peace, and best wishes to you,

Regis.

What a timely write! As we move ever closer to a government, not of the people, but of the rich and famous, and oligarchy, with a puppet monarchy making sure that the rich continue to get richer and the rest of us be dammed.

An even worse, the upcoming environmental disaster, the source of all life, is already near the edge of tipping over into a accelerating decline of the ecosystem and everything in it, including us. Verifying that the survival of the wealthiest over the fittest, simply does not work.

A Guide to Chinese Affairs by Robert Liu

This is a political treatise that deals with the China issue from a completely new perspective. Disparaging as he may sound, from page to page, toward "the old system" and the Communist Party's various wiles, the author demonstrates his mysteriously
