Necessary? . . .

(from https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/michael-collins-past-and-future-space-exploration-180972699/)

". . . It was a choice to go to the moon, and some would say we have a greater understanding of ourselves as a result. . . “I think a lot of people don’t want to live with a lid over their head,” (recently deceased astronaut Michael) Collins says. “They want to remove that lid. They want to look up into the sky. They want to see things that they do not understand. They want to come to know them better, perhaps even physically go there and examine them, to see, to smell, to touch, to feel—that’s, to me, the impetus for going to Mars.”. . . "

Many are the  issues
That cross my mind, distract
From what I've set my mind to do,
Accomplishments, in fact.
It is, I know, inevitable,
Wielding no substantial impact.
But I concentrate wholeheartedly
To ensure I am exact.

Party . . .

https://eventselevated.com/parties/

(from https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/05/republicans-stand-for-nothing-january-6-commission/619036/)

". . . Today’s Republicans exist only to stay in power, not least so that their elected officials can avoid what they dread most: being sent home to live among their constituents. The conservative writer George Will is right that the Republican Party in 2021 has become “something new in American history,” a “political party defined by the terror it feels for its own voters.” . . . Republican legislators should be scared. Their base is an angry white minority that cares nothing about government; its members want their elected officials to rule by hook or by crook, the Constitution and democracy itself be damned, and they don’t want any guff about namby-pamby ideas or policies. They want the elections controlled, the institutions captured, and the libs owned. The rest, to them, is just noise. . . The Republicans, facing an investigation into an insurrection provoked by their own leader, have armored up and gone into armadillo mode. They will protect their own—rather than their nation and the Constitution they swore to defend. This behavior should serve as a warning: A party that doesn’t believe in anything ends up believing only in its right to rule. And a movement that believes only in its own power is a deadly enemy of constitutional democracy. . "

Baggage . . .

                                         

https://crashbaggage.com/

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.

". . . At issue is a document that will be prepared for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops by its Committee on Doctrine, with the aim of clarifying the church’s stance on an issue that has repeatedly vexed the bishops in recent decades. It’s taken on new urgency now, in the eyes of many bishops, because Biden — only the second Catholic president — is the first to hold that office while espousing clear-cut support for abortion rights. . ."

Integrity . . .

 

http://www.andersonleadershipsolutions.com/integrity-is-honesty-enough/

Fifteen minutes of glory, maybe less.

What I wouldn't give for a chance to confess

All the intimate little secrets;

All my hopes and my desires.

I don't care just how valid you think that they are.

They've been mine for a long, long time

And I'm not ashamed of them.

Shut-up Joe.

How do you really know

What's goin' down?

How can you tell if there's a problem somewhere

That you've found?

We all need to gather round.

Help everybody else to see.

That running your mouth aloud

Makes it that much more difficult

For you and me

And our integrity.

Went to work at the factory at fourteen.

Thought I'd finish my schooling sometime in between

Drunken weekends and feudal street-fights

And the visits to my best girl. 

But the time slipped away. I've got bills here to pay.

I've got small mouths dependent on me.

My vision is limited.


All my life I know I've wanted to say

Something to my fellow man today.

Couldn't let the facts get in the way. 

We weren't that well acquainted. That's the word.

An occasional run-in, we preferred. 

Cause one thing that we both believed in,

Heard it over and over again, 

It was something about all the fondness we felt;

How the heart can't miss what's not around.

The mind doesn't value it.

“. . . On the defensive , Republicans are trying to score political points by noting that Democrats, not Republicans, embraced racist Jim Crow laws a half-century ago before a major political realignment. . . “I’m, for one, sick and tired of Democrats. They need to apologize for their history,” Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., said on Fox News Channel's “Sunday Morning Futures.”. . ."

. . . While republicans continue on their path of 'equality for all' without any remorse?
