my two cents, or severely hung over

 

the white   wealthy   male

hit the jackpot

the rest of us   in every nation on this planet   russia too

 

lost   and what we lost we don't even know

there is the closet

there is the burning mosque   the bombed black church

 

there goes the synagogue   there goes

everything

that matters   adios amigos   

 

those who pinned their hope on the devil

will lose the most  

with nothing left to fight for   having raised their voices

 

and cried   we are helpless

 

~

 

we are not helpless

Not able to listen to your music, but good read, there are tunes I will not dance to, sometimes I am hopeless, but never helpless.

it's funny because when someone does to me a dirty shit, i think myself: "you should be deserved to be paid for that since you have done it as if it had poured out of yourself, please receive 2 cents" why a job should be always a labor?

jim, i am white, wealthy, and male (if not wealthy, at least comfortable, and if there are gender issues, and if my whiteness is a bit sullied, so be it) but I can assure you—I lost. Dignity, respect, empathy, simple human decency matter.

But, thank you for your two cents.

best wishes,
jim

Well said, my friend. We are not helpless!! Have you seen the crowds of protesters in almost every State, and in many foreign countries. We have to fight this evil. Thank you!

Our internet is too slow to hear the music but I loved the poem.

PS. We had a protest march of 5 in Torio. It's all we had, but we did it. I don't think it made the papers. :)
