Learning . . .

. . . from history (???)


(from Coolidge by Amity Shales)
". . . Balance was all; wherever there was dispute, or costs, he must nonetheless seek the islands of agreement, the middle ground. If there was to be a war, then finding that middle ground, sacrificing principles for the duration would be even more important. Spending would be especially important, however much Coolidge personally deplored it. . .

What, Me? . . .

There's been a time or two, I'll say
In the two-plus years just hence
When the news and its circumstances
Made me wonder 'where's the sense?'

Is there sense in swindling citizens
Who pursuing knowledge, sought
For a means by which the cost
Would not place them in hock

Is there sense in opening Arctic Seas
Like Beaufort or like Cook
To exploration for oil and gas
Are these civil servants or crooks?

And these are only two examples
Of senselessness and things awry
In our government and in our world
Don't worry though, just cry

Aren't We All . . .


What do I know about happiness
Do I possess some kind of key
To things that no one else can see

Just as far back as my memory goes
Sometimes it seemed I was alone
Only my point of view and me

As I reflect
Some disconnect
Could be afflicting me
Am I just one
Under the sun
Or am I quite unique

Others speak out very easily
No fear about who may get hurt
By words so hastily dispensed

For some reason I step back away
I hesitate to be so bold as to
Presume some insight gained

As I reflect
Some disconnect
Could be afflicting me
Am I just one
Under the sun
Or am I quite unique


Unique

OHO (duo-Jay Graboski & Ray Jozwiak Live in Ocean City, MD September 2019)

Explanation. . .

. . . of tariffs . . .
. . . for those that do not understand . . .


". . . Tariffs are used to restrict imports by increasing the price of goods and services purchased from another country, making them less attractive to domestic consumers. There are two types of tariffs: A specific tariff is levied as a fixed fee based on the type of item, such as a $1,000 tariff on a car. An ad-valorem tariff is levied based on the item's value, such as 10% of the value of the vehicle. . . Governments impose tariffs to raise revenue, protect domestic industries, or exert political leverage over another country. Tariffs often result in unwanted side effects, such as higher consumer prices. Tariffs have a long and contentious history, and the debate over whether they represent good or bad policy rages on to this day. . . "

More Mirrors . . .

. . . and smoke . . .



Can you hear all that I say
Beneath all clever wordplay?
Don’t think that I’m insulting you
That I don’t want your point of view
Working from limited base
So easily losing your place
Why feign a blatant expertise
With no obvious philosophies?

Do you know
What you want
To accomplish here?
Will you go
To the length you say you will
Or is this just all
Smoke and mirrors?

You may just set precedent
with every signal you’ve sent
Why don’t you learn the protocol
To no longer suffer this at all

Say what you mean if you mean it
Do what you feel in your heart
Make it real when you’re speaking your mind

Impressions churning and spray
Like repairs flowing away
Pushing downstream ferociously
Uprooting each obstacle you see



Smoke & Mirrors
©2019 Raymond M. Jozwiak
rough demo of new OHO tune in progress
