Attraction . . .

https://www.dreamstime.com/illustration/cartoon-circus.html

Every hair upon your head

Has got to be in place for the camera.

Every place you happen to be

The people stare.

Cause, you are not the main attraction.

But oh, how you wanted to be.

Don’t equate each little thing

That happened in the past to the present.

Don’t expect each person to see

The things you see.

Do you ever think of anyone else?

Does concern come crossing your mind?

There’s enough conceit under your own belt

To last a lifetime.

If your dreams should ever come true,

I’ll see that spiteful face on the cover

Of a tabloid where the headline reads,

“She wants to be . . . “

Nothing but the main attraction.

But oh, how you wanted to be.

Step One . . .

https://www.shutterstock.com/search/wooden+steps

(from https://coloradonewsline.com/2021/06/23/leave-god-out-of-government/ by Trish Zornio)

". . . In recent polling, only 64% of Americans say they are convinced God exists. Church attendance is at an all-time low, dipping below 50% of Americans. Already 1 in 5 Americans no longer identify with a structured religion, and it’s even higher in younger generations. Who can blame them? When some religious leaders still consider LGBTQ communities and women’s rights a sin, is it any wonder? Add to that the fundamentalists who refute evolution and white evangelicals who are likely to support QAnon, more and more religion looks to be going the way of lava lamps and mood rings. . . Thankfully, in America, we don’t need to come to agreement regarding celestial omnipotence. We do, however, need to accept each other’s freedom of beliefs — and that includes my ability not to believe. . . Or, at least it should.. . . Just once can’t I get my government without a side of God?. . . Politicians are shy to crack down on the overreach of religion in government. Perhaps it’s out of fear of seeming anti-American. Perhaps it’s a fear of offending core political bases. Either way, neither side seems particularly keen to court the atheists and agnostics of America despite our rising popularity. . ."

Heart . . .

https://www.texasheart.org/heart-health/heart-information-center/topics/heart-anatomy/

Mr. Russell knows his heart.
He knows his feelings and where to start
When it comes to listening or helping someone.
He's opinionated, some say, but I know
Our conventionality's sometimes below
His pure logic when questioning mere protocol
Or how well we are treating each other,
If we're treating each other well at all.

Chain . . .

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chain

(from https://www.tampabay.com/news/business/2021/10/17/heres-why-the-supply-chain-is-a-mess-and-will-be-for-a-while/)

". . . experts say it could take months to work through the backlogs exacerbated by labor shortages and other pandemic-related disruptions up and down the supply chain, leaving store shelves depleted and Americans facing higher prices as they prepare to shop for the holidays. . . “We had a series of smoldering issues that had been around for a while, and then COVID was kind of the needle that broke the camel’s back,” said Robert Handfield, a professor of operations and supply chain management at North Carolina State University. “Unfortunately, it’s a bit of a mess, and it’s going to take some time to address.”. . . The International Monetary Fund cited supply chain issues as one reason that it’s scaling back its projections for global economic growth. And Moody’s Analytics, a financial research firm, warned in a recent report that those disruptions “will get worse before they get better.”. . . "
