Cognition. . .


Fly among the musings free;
Regarding not tradition.
From one to next and then one new.
It's all my own cognition.

Thinking . . .


Beyond imagination
My reality's now surpassed
By something real and awful
Which will hopefully move fast.

Concern is now priority
And action is severe.
The seriousness required now
Must far surpass our fear.

Honesty . . .



(from LIES And the Lying Liars Who Tell Them; A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right
by Al Franken)
". . . If you listen to a lot of conservatives . . . conservatives love America and liberals hate America. . . They don't get it. We love America just as much as they do. But in a different way. You see, they love America in the way a four-year-old loves her mommy. Liberals love America like grown-ups. To a four-year-old, everything Mommy does is wonderful and anyone who criticizes Mommy is bad. Grown-up love means actually understanding what you love, taking the good with the bad, and helping your loved one grow.  Love takes attention and work and is the best thing in the world. . . When liberals look back on history, we see things we're proud of. And we also see some things, which might have seemed like good ideas at the time, bur turned out to be mistakes. And some things we did, well, they were just bad. That doesn't keep us from loving our country - it's part of loving our country. It's called honesty. . . "

Broken . . .

. . . dreams . . .



Just when I thought my little
Empire would never be conquered.
I was invincible.
Went from the frying pan
Right into the fire.
Now I don’t care at all.
I’m one smooth operator,
But standing two feet tall;
Was like some great dictator.

Damn the coffee.
Damn the sugar.
Damn the colonies.
Where’s my future?
What awaits me?
I don’t want to be
Napoleon of broken dreams.

So when I got myself
A taste of that glorious power.
It was intoxicating.
The more I took became
The more that I wanted.
But soon the thrill was gone.
Wanted to meet my maker.
I’ll pay for what I’ve done
Just like that great dictator.

Could be people like me
Should be alone.
Nothing is ever enough;
Enough for this eccentricity.

It’s said, by nature, that a
Man can become territorial.
And I’ve been known to do it.
Simple offense became
An outright obsession.
I got my just desserts.
Maybe I’ll see you later.
But still it could be worse
Just like that great dictator.

Should've . . .

. . . happened differently . . .



(from https://www.npr.org/2020/03/24/820601571/all-of-this-panic-could-have-been-prevented-author-max-brooks-on-covid-19?utm_campaign=storyshare&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_medium=social&fbclid=IwAR14hM8_-lmmvvNtunnnZlsEB9_xVfcMt8e-0-VEyKtS-7dKkJO5ZhiyuwI)
". . . President Trump was slow to acknowledge the virus as a real threat. And thus far, the president has resisted using the Defense Production Act to force private companies to manufacture masks, gloves and other essential supplies in the fight against the coronavirus. Many government task forces that plan for disasters have yet to be activated in this crisis. . . "One of the biggest problems we're facing now is panic. You see it in the stock market. You see it in panic buying," he says. "'All of this panic could have been prevented. ... If the president had been working since January to get the organs of government ready for this, we as citizens could have been calmed down knowing that the people that we trust to protect us are doing that.". . .

Marginalized . . .



(from http://digitaledition.baltimoresun.com/infinity/article_share.aspx?guid=e6321562-5b65-44a0-909e-22af8824e01a)
". . . Looking at Trump this week, I see someone desperately making it up as he goes along, still unaware that millions of Americans now can’t help but see the disconnect between his words and the reality of their lives. But, as an entertainer, Trump can feel the cameras and the spotlight pulling away to gaze on others and that means marginalization for him. There is nothing a narcissist fears more than marginalization. Perhaps that’s why he held two press sessions Thursday and lashed out at the media in one of them. . ."
