Season of Betrayal

Do You Recall Your Last Little Bit Of Normal? This is mine.  Karaoke Night after werk on Wednesdays. The Blue Note Bar & Grill, Durham, North Carolina, USA. The year 2020 has been completely out-of-focus.   I hollered on the Twitter regarding the fact of a census and an election in the same year.  Has it ever occurred like this before? I do not think so. Americans are used to things working.   When they quit working, we are used to experts coming in to fix things.  That is not what is happening for us now.  Our people are without leadership.  We are cut adrift from our government.  American Oligarchy is on the march in our nation.  Our options, during a pandemic, seem to be limited.  When we protest, our own government steps in to brutalize us. Donald Trump is the president, but he is mentally incompetent to serve us.   We know he isn't governing.  We know that he is gutting our clean air and water protections; we know he is selling our national heritage to The One Per Cent.  W

Fear and Loathing

FEAR AND LOATHING IN AMERICA: WHAT DONALD J. TRUMP HAS DONE We cannot stop castigating one another anymore. There is no need to keep asking ourselves how this happened.  It has happened.    Even the most decorous amid us are losing our shit .  There, I've said it.  When conservative Republicans trademark " FAFO ,"  things have reached a level .  Donald Trump has made it okay for Americans to abandon civility and whatever thin veneer of egality we maintained toward another, and retreat to our basest instincts.  We grimly survey the wrecked landscape of democracy with curled lip and slitted eyes, wondering when the next salvo of insufferable iniquity will strafe us from Washington.  We don't know what else is left to do; we begin to believe no one will save us. So we are backed into our respective corners, and at the slightest provocation, we come out scratching . This is the one who does it for me.  She really needs to stay out of punching range, should we ever meet.

I Will Go Forward With Love

"Ain't no giving up 'round here." I will not give in to appearances or circumstances.   Faith is easy when things are going well.  I have been in a season of atonement.  I haven't done everything right; I haven't always made the best decisions. I have always had pure motives, however.  Pretty much all the time. Malice doesn't suit me.  I simply cannot be bothered to hate you. Like so many of my sisters of color, I've been buffeted by The American Dream. It becomes more like a mirage with every year that passes, but even here, even now, the spark of courage that has always been within me burns brightly.
