As Putin smothers Trump with gushy compliments over meeting with Un this week, and the impeachment process, vis a vis Ukraine situation as testified today by Kurt Volker, taking another leap in the already boiling pot with Giuliani’s messing about the Biden intimidation, we are left wondering, once again, which new detail might be the turning factor? What is the solution? And no, story at 11 has become passé. How about every 5 minutes?

His Way or the Other
Mideast smoke may never clear
Forces know inversion
Custer set out to eliminate Crazy Horse
Only to find killers get killed too
Thus
Fate opts to continue as
One’s long term landlord
Mending hurt feelings
At times
Repairing aging plumbing
At times
Providing odd company
At times
Then
As consciousness takes up arms
Destiny is challenged
The enigmatic and reality
Face each other
In life’s enormous battlefield of experience
Decision time
Each turns
Moves away from each other
As if returning to their respective
Exhausted and impoverished armies
Not unlike unavoidable gravity
Making two planets pass
Out of conjunction
Or
Two political adversaries
Unwilling to note the other’s existence
Or
One’s own habitual stride
With legs of a miniscule lifetime
Coming together and parting
Like mercury at one’s fingertips
Fate and consciousness
Being but parts of the whole
Each with different directional pull
Each with a varying true north reading
Each a part of one’s complete story
Remains inevitably ordained for freedom
His way
Or the other
They are----
Divide a nation...
For we are better than they are....
I LOVE being independently, independent...
I'll wait until the truth finally prevails...
The REAL truth is most all politicians should be in jail...
