We are in a dark age History in the making Light switch functions Bulb is good Are we powerless?

Straight forward existential question posed, MM. You always strike truth to the heart of a matter. It's your blessed gift. Alas ... tis your curse as well. The prophets' curse, I should add. You're in good company then. Heavy dose of truth in this open-the-eye poem. Strong write. Love and smiles and smiles of joy.

Mo, i read 4 of your pithy, patriotic, power-poems (after attending 3 worship services at 3 different churches) - in honor of July 4th. Your Consciousness declares: we are not powerless. And we are witness to History. Shalom shalom

We are witness, my only power my words. Thank you my friend. I wish you a happy peaceful 4th of July. Canada Day was yesterday, hid all day from the insane heat and insane hords out in it ;) xomo

First and sadly.. this has been going on for at least 12 years. I'm glad people are finally concerned. Two, an order was just passed to end this horrible situation, let's hope its soon!

I had no Idea Obama was separating refugee children from their families. Then again I had no idea that my own country had it's own atrocious policies, namely the Residential Schools, still open and running while I was attending school. We are the only species capable of horror. Thanks for popping by! :) xomo
