Distorted . . .

https://jasonsimonphotography.weebly.com/distortion.html

In the world
Which was much larger then
At least so it seemed
To me and my friends
We loved many things
Understood a small few
But we always relied
On the big people

Then time
Toil and trouble
Took their toll on our dreams
And little by little
We grew
As we learned more and more
Our perspectives had changed
And we wondered

The big people were good
They surrounded us daily
We believed that all big ones
Were worldly and wise
As our own wisdom flourished
We would slowly conclude
That good things don't come
Always with size

Planet . . .

. . . money, guns . . .

Golden we were all that we touched
Turned in a favorable tide
Life, but we know,
Brings what it may
Think of yourself
But don’t do it too much
Pressing your luck
Go too far

Planet Money Guns

Goddess . . .

Round every corner and fading to blue
The Angelus rings
She comes into view
Nine is her number and nine she is due
She will never fail you

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

Explanation. . .

. . . of tariffs . . .

. . . for those that do not understand . . .

(from https://www.investopedia.com/terms/t/tariff.asp)

". . . 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. . . "
