Appalled . . .



". . . I have voted Republican in every presidential election since 1980, including voting for Donald Trump in 2016. I wrote op-eds and a law review article protesting what I believe was an unconstitutional investigation by Robert Mueller. I also wrote an op-ed opposing President Trump’s impeachment. . . But I am frankly appalled by the president’s recent tweet seeking to postpone the November election. Until recently, I had taken as political hyperbole the Democrats’ assertion that President Trump is a fascist. But this latest tweet is fascistic and is itself grounds for the president’s immediate impeachment again by the House of Representatives and his removal from office by the Senate. . ."

Stress . . .


. . . work, concentration . . . 

(from Too Much and Never Enough - How My Family Created The World's Most Dangerous Man by Mary L. Trump)
". . . Though Donald's fundamental nature hasn't changed, since his inauguration the amount of stress he's under has changed dramatically. It's not the stress of the job, because he isn't doing the job - unless watching TV and tweeting insults count. It's the effort to keep the rest of us distracted from the fact that he knows nothing about politics, civics, or simple human decency - that requires an enormous amount of work. For decades, he has gotten publicity, good and bad, but he's rarely been subjected to close scrutiny, and he's never had to face significant opposition. His entire sense of himself and the world is being questioned. . ."

Neatly . . .

                                         


. . . summarized . . . 

(from Too Much and Never Enough - How My Family Created the World's Most Dangerous Man by Mary L. Trump)
". . . I hope this book will end the practice of referring to Donald's "strategies" or "agendas," as if he operates according to any organizing principles. He Doesn't. . . "

Thoughtless . . .


Everyone does it sometime;
Not always a conscious affair.
Very few of us mean it,
Yet we do it somehow.
We're just thoughtless
Like we just didn't care.


(Instrumental based upon the chord changes in the composition 'Thinking')

Little Men . . .


                                     
                                                                 https://www.artsanddesigns.com/cgi-bin/viewDetails.pl?catnumber=2008892201

The poet said 'Trailing clouds of glory we come and we go'
What do we really know?
Smiling so brightly 
Betraying the years they have yet to try.
Those little men with that glory;
Riddles and bedtime stories;
Little men with that glory in their eyes.

Innocence and wisdom coexist inside their minds,
Together with appreciation for the things we miss
In our haste and our big business.
Always in awe of the wheels spinning round
And a laugh for the foolish things big men do.

Everybody thinks about the world and what the future brings.
Who really knows the plan and all its subtleties?
We're really smart, at least that's what we think.
Going our own way in blissful retreat
From the prospect of seeing things too clearly.

Intelligence . . .


Heard somebody say
They overheard you,
Just the other day,
A simple word
About the way we get along.
If only I were sure
Of the semantics.
Having doubts 'cause I'm
One hopeless romantic.
Could it be
You're slipping away from me?

What will I do
If what I'm thinking is true?
And you want to be
Really free of me.
I won't last very long
Very far from your heart.
And this third-hand intelligence
Might be the way that it starts.

Heard somebody say
They thought they saw you
Walking in their way.
You were not alone,
They said he didn't look like me.
Thinking to myself,
Must be mistaken.
Try not to believe,
but still badly shaken.
Why would you
Deceive me in things you do?

So many years;
Sharing our laughter and tears.
Lasted very long.
Maybe I was wrong
Not to ask you
Why you feel
We've drifted apart.
And this third-hand intelligence
Might be the way that it starts.

Are my sources reliable?
Wait and see.
Wait and see.Third-Hand Intelligence(original lyrics) copy
Is my psyche too pliable?
It could be.
It could be.

If somebody said
The sky was falling,
Soon we'll all be dead,
Have to quit our stalling.
Try to be prepared.
Would you believe it's true?
Or would you question
All the things you do,
And change your direction
From spinning round
When it hits the ground?

That's just not true.
Any believers are few.
When you've seen it all,
It could never fall
Any more than
I think you could
Tear us apart.
And this third-hand intelligence
Might be the way that it starts.
