Voting Booth
there's a reset switch
that will let us start over
called a voting booth
I don't think anyone can look at the actions of America's modern Gestapo and tell me that they believe everything is fine. When we are willing to trade our freedom for a few cents off the price of a gallon of gas or a dozen eggs something is seriously off kilter. I don't care if you believe in the current administration or not. Wrong is wrong. When one man has caused so much hate, that the tear in the fabric of our nation has become so wide, action must be taken before it becomes unmendable.
Sitting here on my tiny pile of rocks in the middle of the Ozarks of Missouri, seems to me the answer is pretty darn plain to see. Democracy does not mean, all for one. But one for all. When that one is trying to change the majority to suit him, then the majority must act.
Your vote is your biggest voice of any protest. From the local dogcatcher to the president, every election matters. Every vote matters. Vote as if your life depends on it—because it does.

No my friends, it's not 1940's Germany. It's 2026 America. It's not Gestapo or SS but the National Parks System.
As of January 1st, you must now show proof that you are an American citizen or you will have to pay a $100 surcharge per person to enter a National Park. So the over 14 million international visitors to our park system, those who also stay in hotels, fly in airplanes, eat at restaurants, buy souvenirs, ride in taxis, trains or rental cars, are now being told to stay home. We don't need you here.
I have to wonder, what's next America? Maybe numbers branded on our hands. Or perhaps a nice little swastika tattooed right in the middle of our foreheads.
Wake up people.

#1 – useless – “when mad men let evil reign unchecked in the name of democracy”
#2 – hidden agendas – “in politics and finance there’s no one we can trust, not even ourselves”
#3 – because i said so – “pounding one’s chest and roaring obscenities does not make them a leader”
#4 – bull crap – “the more you spread, the more people will pay to get rid of the smell”
#5 – perhaps they were right -“we poets have always believed we can use words to change the world—maybe guns will work better”

Another election came and went
after it was over we found
we had a brand new
president or an old one
re-done
but one who doesn’t
represent the will
of his constituents
I’d call him a bully
a liar
a thief
but that would be
a compliment
