As humans there are so many gifts and skills that we are given.
Which we fail to use wisely and implement in our living.
We often look beyond what we have to what we think we can get.
Never satisfied, having a consumerist mind-set.
Don’t confuse that with legitimate aims to learn, advance and grow.
Those are noble and noteworthy goals.
But when decisions are baked in selfish, self-serving and self-centered.
They’re not meant for humanitarian.
Granting by-the-way benefits to others are not enough.
There must also be deliberate gives to help others who are experiencing rough.
And tapering benefits to particular some and not to others leads to limited cover, not to wonders.
When the vibes to the Universe are not for sharing and caring.
Helping and blessings are less likely to be circulating.
As deprivation spreads.
Those demanding more will be subjected to less.
Because the allowance they give are to the top tiers.
The same who they elevate will prevent them from getting there.
It’s hard to conceive that sections of the Jewish community fund and support those who house the modern day Nazis.
That is not a judgment made – it’s a title self-proclaimed.
White Nationalists in Charlottesville.
Again in strength at the Capitol steps.
Never denounced or discouraged.
By many on the right, still voted in.
Jews legitimizing anti-Semitics.
The same who denounce Jews being in their midst.
Is the hate for “liberals” so blinding their eyes that they are willing to co-exist with and promote the tribe?
Health care workers stressed, stretched and exposed.
Once lauded as frontline heroes, now targeted for attacks as they try to do their job of saving lives.
They are the ones being disregarded and deprived.
Yet many of them stand against vaccine and mask mandates.
And other effective guidelines especially in Republican run States.
They support the GOP, giving them steam.
Even disinformation is spread by this team.
While their colleagues are being burnt.
Under appreciated and over-worked.
Harm from the ones that swore to heal.
Hard to believe.
It’s all been surreal.
Law enforcement giving supporters of the insurrection and domestic terrorism their endorsement.
Even when, in the end they’ve shown a willingness to maim and kill.
Police unions and entities stand beside the traitors still.
Not objecting to vigilante style or citizens with guns making judge and jury decisions.
Violent rhetoric and actions are tolerated, even sanctioned.
And some who held up before are now siding with the autocratic force.
Voters keep voting in lawmakers who engage in gerrymandering and redistricting.
Sowing doubts within.
Reducing the power of the vote.
Giving in to the Party which states that their will makes it so.
Those who prop themselves as superheroes of democracy and election integrity have been the ones disrespecting the Constitution, law and order, rules and norms.
The rise of Trump and the spread of the virus have shown many to be disingenuous.
As Americans keep choosing leaders who say and do to protect themselves.
Extend their political careers.
They too spread disinformation.
Make decisions that harm their constituents.
It’s become an easy accomplishment.
Given people’s mind-set.
Where their priorities lie.
Their unwillingness to sacrifice or compromise.
Americans are moving from individualism to selfishness.
And to that they see themselves as the greatest.
From democracy to autocracy – that seems to be the latest fad.
The strongman hyping bad.
Even blacks are behind people of color being attacked.
Satisfied with one or two in the mix.
A Republican trick.
Whether a news conference, to a particular cause or in a campaign.
The black token is there strategically placed.
Sometimes to center stage.
Not to be seen for a while again – only a sea of white.
Until needed at another time.
The black token staying out of sight and silent.
Helping to reverse years of progress and advancement.
Make America Great Again with repression, oppression and maltreatment.
On Veteran’s Day, a sign displayed –
“Home for the free because of the brave”.
Many Americans embrace that in terms of unrests that are foreign-made.
But there are many domestic fights, for civil and other Rights.
Battles against inequality.
And many Americans would have the world believe all of that isn’t real.
As they re-write even erase, sections of American history.
Rejecting diversity.
At the same time escalating to civil unrests.
Elevating terrorists.
Allowing all of this to persist.
More people emboldened to behave uncivilized.
Because such behaviors have been authorized.
Why would we expect we could confine it to the head?
We shouldn’t be surprised that the ill-will has spread.
In the name of Religion – Muslims, Christians and Jews with no route to peace.
The wars and disagreements never seize.
Years of unrest.
Showing the world, religion doesn’t always know or does best.
Guns, violence and military.
All for love of God and Country.
That kind now prominent and boiling on American soil.
All are right, none in the wrong.
The end-game now power and lead.
Charity apparently has taken a back seat.
The point and message gets warped and lost.
No difference between guerrillas at war and soldiers for Christ, Allah or God.
And some religious live in luxury.
Doing sin in secrecy.
Able to buy covering and privacy.
While they still judge others, hating the sinner, not just denouncing the sin.
Though they aren’t dealing with their own demons within.
At first and in real time we may not have known.
But as time passed the motives, intents and consequences show.
Dis-ingenuity, dishonesty and vindictiveness have been exposed.
Yet it’s to their direction that people still choose to go.
When most of what we consume and exude are intolerance and hate.
Why are we exasperated and confused when it invades our place?
Or the problem is that we become numb to what they truly are.
So we re-label and elevate them as lights to a shining star.
Then we choose who to blame when we feel disarray.
Not acknowledging our mistakes, doings and contributions to.
We are the hands that give the push for evil to ensue.
Not admitting to our elevation and endorsement of fake.
And until we replace, what we hope for and want will elude our space.
