In the midst of life it appears to me Now as I see through its ice-brittle heart This culture is consumed with cruelty Though I celebrate the exceptions I Fear they only prove the rule as I try To find the light but find to my despair Searching for truth as the deceptions fly That it most often is simply not there If it ever existed anywhere As the calendar speaks epiphany
Though we have always felt ourselves so smart It was our hopeful misfortune to be Naive to believe those who would deceive Through a propagandistic history Which justifies hate in disguise through lies Of glory and manifest destiny Though we have always held ourselves apart We were fools in the best schools we were tools Of a tyrannical oligarchy Which ran a scam they called democracy
And all through history little has changed They have always been greedy and grasping Only the deckchairs have been rearranged Deep is the cold sea shallow the glory As we slide to sink freezing and gasping Caught in a net caught up in the story Left by manifest destiny to die In the midst of life it appears to me Wondering under a star-spangled sky As the calendar speaks epiphany
Democracy is a political game that politicians play, giving us a false sense of security that we are free. There is nothing free, anywhere, because there is always a price that has to be paid. Whether with our freedoms, such as being told who we can marry, and who we can't, by legislative acts, or by wars, killing our our young men and women for no other reason that flexingt our might, against those who would challange us. I believe in freedom, I believe we should all repsect one another, and I believe that since this such a small planet to begin with, we should all get along. Politics should not play into the freedoms of anyone, anywhere. Thnx for sharing dear, brother. May the Lord Jesus blwess you, and those whom you love, and be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love in my heart, maybe too stubborn for my own good, joy to the world, peace on earth, & (((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your still very sad and very terrified little sister, Barbie

Very appropriate picture for the poem. While growing up, I had one grandmother tell me 'trust no one', while the grandmother on my mother's side said 'you can trust a person until they give you reason not to.' I've learned that you have to pick a spot in between...
Pure in depth reflections on what life and the universe have in store for you. YOu always manage to look in the right places when you need answers Steve and then so willingly and wonderfully share them with the rest of us. Well done my friend.
The second book in the telepathy series. It contains more ways for the up and coming telepathist to experiment with the sending and receiving of thoughts and is at the end of the story about future telepathy people found unexpectedly chosen by the go
