Critical . . .

https://www.britannica.com/topic/United-States-Capitol

(from Unthinkable: Trauma, Truth, and the Trials of American Democracy by Jamie Raskin )

". . . Donald Trump's outrageous lies about the 2020 election mirror the basic form of the Lost Cause myth. According to Trump, he won a landslide victory, but it was stolen from him and from his noble long-suffering supporters after he valiantly led the country to record prosperity and well-being - a claim that conveniently omits the tens of millions of people who lost their jobs and the hundreds of thousands who lost their lives under his administration's lethally reckless mismanagement of the COVID-19 pandemic. . . The lie that Republicans promoted that Trump and his mob were themselves working to stop an election from being stolen is merely propaganda designed to justify the new wave of vote-suppressing legislation the GOP is trying to pass all over the country. That's why the work of the Select Committee to investigate the January 6th Attack, and how we as a country interpret and act upon the committee's findings, becomes such a critical test for us. If we cannot get the past right, we will get future all wrong. . . "

            Ambience & Wine

Of Coffee, Sugar, Etc. . .

https://depositphotos.com/vector-images/napoleon.html

Just when I thought my little 

Empire would never be conquered.

I was invincible. 

Went from the frying pan

Right into the fire.

Now I don’t care at all.

I’m one smooth operator,

But standing two feet tall;

Was like some great dictator.

Damn the coffee. 

Damn the sugar. 

Damn the colonies.

Where’s my future?

What awaits me?

I don’t want to be

Napoleon of broken dreams.

So when I got myself

A taste of that glorious power.

It was intoxicating.

The more I took became

The more that I wanted. 

But soon the thrill was gone.

Wanted to meet my maker.

I’ll pay for what I’ve done 

Just like that great dictator.

Could be people like me

Should be alone.

Nothing is ever enough;

Enough for this eccentricity.

It’s said, by nature, that a

Man can become territorial.

And I’ve been known to do it.

Simple offense became 

An outright obsession.

I got my just desserts.

Maybe I’ll see you later.

But still it could be worse

Just like that great dictator.

(from Unthinkable: Trauma, Truth, and the Trials of American Democracy by Jamie Raskin)

". . . I hope January 6 showed conservative America that all the extreme right-wing rhetoric about "backing the Blue" was nothing but propaganda and lies: the only handful of officers they truly advocate for are rogue racists in uniform who abuse the rights of our African American and Latino citizens. We need to continue to diversify, train, and invest in our police forces to protect democracy and our people against criminal and terroristic violence. . . "

Toss It . . .

https://www.123rf.com/photo_90419762_businessman-

throwing-suitcase-into-sea.html

 

Six AM,
The buses aren't nearly as crowded
As the night before.
Someone said there was
Music and laughter 
Behind all the shutters and doors.
What was all of it for?

Who needs friends?
There's barely a minute for breathing.
Everyone here works so hard.
There's no party.
When I reach my doorstep
I struggle to pull out my key.
Where's the meaning for me?
You see but you're unaware
There's life on the other side.

But there's no bridge to cross.
I'm looking through the fog
For some way out of here.
I've baggage here to toss.

Bless my soul!
I've read about you in the paper.
I've seen your picture somewhere.
When you speak it's in volumes and volumes.
I can't hear a word that you say.
Funny it happens that way.

I've been told 
That envy's the thing I've been feeling
For your kind of work and your play.
But to tell you the truth
That it's only a wish 
For a new kind of day,
When worry and fear melt away.
Could be 
That a day will come
When you just might understand.

I’d like to go away.
And go there to stay.
But I can’t find the way.

So it goes,
But change never really comes easy.
Resistance is felt all around. 
But inevitably something happens
That makes the old ship run aground.
We all stare in awe of what’s found.
Like me you appear to be
Looking for some meaning here.
