Unique . . .


It's a wonderful thing,
Most surely, to see,
One that is clearly unique.
This kind most usually travels about 
Unnoticed by you and by me.

She knows well the things
That she truly enjoys.
He has empathy; kindness; respect.
While proceeding with life, doing what he's about
There's no guile and no trace of a ploy.

Others say it's unusual;
Calling it freak
While exhibiting no comprehension.
Still unable to fathom or ken what they see 
They are blind to a thing quite unique.

Celestial . . .

  

. . . beings???

Meteors that come once a year;
Quite a show of fireworks 
When you’re there to see them.
Shooting stars fantastically glow.
All too soon no one can say
Where they are or gone to.

Back on earth we average reside.
Most of us will never know such adoration.
So I go my ordinary way.
Do my job and feed my kids;
This world and wonder.

Dust and gas -
That’s what they’re made of.
Why all the fascination?

Fabulous! They’ll take your breath away.
They will dazzle with their style 
And their savoir faire.
Improvise; they make their own moves.
All the cattle follow close 
Behind from the pasture.

Why couldn’t I be
One among those many millions?
Why can’t someone see
My astrological worth?
What causes the sea
Of heavenly bodies to glow like they do?
Shining so brightly for me and for you.
Sooner or later they burn themselves out
But oh so beautifully.

Meteors have nothing to fear.
From their distant firmament
They shine for the masses.
Safe above, removed from earthly life,
From uncertainty that lines the 
Cloth of our mortal existence.


[Here's an old video of a performance of  Meteors, this appears on the album 'For the Ride.']

Here . . .

 


I’ve never been one to follow trends.
I won’t be with the crowd 
When they round the bend.
But I’ll be here until the very end
‘Cause, where it’s at is here with you.

I don’t want to see the moon,
Fly to Paris, May or June.
I just want a one-way fare
To anyplace where you’ll be there.

Senior . . .


. . . advisor????  [YEAH! RIGHT!]
 

(from https://thehill.com/hilltv/rising/402797-omarosa-trump-hired-hope-hicks-because-she-is-pretty)
". . . Former White House adviser Omarosa Manigault Newman said in an interview that . . . Trump hired former communications director Hope Hicks for her looks. . . "Donald Trump hired her because she's pretty," Manigault Newman told Hill.TV's Jamal Simmons on Monday. . . "She didn't know what some of the most basic acronyms in politics meant. I said to her once, 'you know, we should look at GOTV operations, and come up with some talkers from it,' and she looked at me because she didn't know what 'get out the vote' meant," she added. . . Manigault Newman also said that Hicks declines to give interviews because she is not politically knowledgeable. . . "She doesn't give interviews because she's private. She doesn't give interviews because she doesn't know what's going on. She understands Trump, and she can schedule an interview ... or write some notes, but that's the extent of her political career," she said. . ."

Delusional? . . .

                                                 

. . . or something else??? . . . 

". . . "Why would I allow the Debate Commission to change the rules for the second and third Debates when I easily won last time (italics mine)?" the president tweeted a day after the Commission on Presidential Debates said it planned on adding "additional structure" to the future debates. . ."

Progress . . .

 


Progress, much like aging, can never be denied.
Status-quo, the good old days, and time that we just bide
Do nothing to propel us forth, to coax us move outside.
So take that chance, expose those aspects unidentified.
To venture nothing only yields the same when nothing's tried.
