Seed . . .

https://www.pexels.com/search/seeds/

. . . is where the whole thing starts
(and sometimes where it ends)
A spark must first be struck
Before a flame can flash and bend,
It may come mysteriously at times,
Or the source may be readily known,
In either case it's not within my control,
And if not quickly captured, by wind will be blown . . .

. . . and maybe lost forever

“I think we got off the track when we allowed our government to become a secular government,” DeLay explained. “When we stopped realizing that God created this nation, that he wrote the Constitution, that it’s based on biblical principles.”

Remember . . .

(from http://www.androidworld.com/prod39.htm)
". . . The US presidential election is NOT one election.  It is really 51 separate elections which are held on the same day.   The pollsters obviously have forgotten this fact.   The winner of the popular vote count does NOT necessarily win the election.   Just ask AL GORE.  Four candidates for president have won the popular vote and yet have lost the presidential election. . . In 48 states and DC, the winner of the popular vote receives ALL the electors of that state (or DC). Only Maine and Nebraska give electoral votes proportionally.   The candidate who receives a majority of the electoral votes wins the election - NOT the candidate who receives the largest number of popular votes. . .

Slough. . .

 . . . of Despond. . .

(from The Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan)
'This miry Slough is such a place as cannot be mended; it is the descent whither the scum and filth that attends conviction for sin doth continually run, and therefore is it called the Slough of Despond: for still as the sinner is awakened about his lost condition, there ariseth in his soul many fears, and doubts, and discouraging apprehensions, which all of them get together, and settle in this place; and this is the reason of the badness of this ground.'


Slough of Despond
by John P. Graboski
Performed by Oho June 1, 2013
at Jango's Block Party in Brooklyn

A view . . .

. . . from the bottom. . . 

The richest 400 Americans own as much as the bottom 150 million put together. And these multimillionaires and billionaires are now actively buying the 2012 election—and with it, American democracy.

750 people at GS Technologies lost their jobs thanks to a bad deal engineered by Bain Capital. 15 million lost jobs after the cumulative deal-making 
of the entire financial sector pushed the whole economy off a cliff. Comparatively, Solyndra was a rounding error.

In 2011, America's top fifty financial CEOs got a 20.4 percent pay hike, even as the wages of most Americans continued to drop.

Welcome to the new Gilded Age, where buoyant rich men with flashy white teeth, raging wealth and a measured disdain for anyone lacking those attributes and challenge their own primary opponent to a $10,000 bet and referring to their wives'' several Cadillacs.

Something much like the robber barons of the Gilded Age complete with political power has now returned with a vengeance.

(based upon the writings of Robert Reich)

Maybe I'm Milking It, but. . .

. . .I can't help it.

THE END OF THE WORLD

Why does the sun go on shining?
Why does the sea rush to shore?
Don't they know it's the end of the world,
'Cause you don't love me any more?

Why do the birds go on singing?
Why do the stars glow above?
Don't they know it's the end of the world.
It ended when I lost your love.

I wake up in the morning and I wonder,
Why everything's the same as it was.
I can't understand. No, I can't understand,
How life goes on the way it does.

Why does my heart go on beating?
Why do these eyes of mine cry?
Don't they know it's the end of the world.
It ended when you said goodbye.

Why does my heart go on beating?
Why do these eyes of mine cry?
Don't they know it's the end of the world.
It ended when you said goodbye.

by Arthur Kent and Sylvia Dee
performed by Skeeter Davis
