Two Weeks At Christmas

For two weeks o'er Christmas; let's straighten the bend, or flatten the curve
Lets just get on the mend.' Give amazon and others a holiday space
And more Important yourselves' just step off the goods race
For there's   two weeks of freedom, maximise it and how'
Hit percentage throw a spanner
Explore a new kind of WOW.' Take the freedom on offer!
Its that time of the year, take from the takers'
Lessen your debt, cancel fear, in only two short weeks
Look upon it as done,  it will lessen your burdens
It could be pure fun.?
Spend much less,  use some reason; look' don't be a debt cow!
Push coersion to the roadside, flatten the curve, that is starting now.!

Funny, I never looked at it as two weeks of freedom. Many small stores do not have the variety Amazon has. Even in foods and basic needs. Amazon is not evil. Nor is money evil! We can’t buy food with air nor gas either? I don’t think there willl ne money to do these things. Crime is bad in the states. Lots of our freedoms have vanished. Pangie.good poem, Joe.

All in this world is not at the level of good that God knows I Myself all of us fail, so can be looked on as shaded or tainted By evil, I have heard Amazon uses almost slave labour or has Done, so there is evil in that, it's all about perception as I Have found out over the last two Years.' I am continually reviewing mine, All blessings dear Pangie.'

It's not money that's evil as you say Pangie, I have heard it's Intended that people receive credit that if it's not spent by The months end it is voided, as for the lack of choice in small Shops, I'm sure if there were many more of them the variety Would be much better.' There Is a conditioning to get us to Find out how great virtual experience is (yet we have real touch sight smell) which is superior, thanks for the vist Pangie'

Christmas and all year, Joe: They are slowly wrapping their tentacles around every small business.There used to be laws (anti.trust) against that. But law and order has fallen down and can’t get up. SuZ

Joe, I confess you’ve set a good challenge for me! Thank you. I mean that. My Jim can say it til he turns blue. But you? Well, your strong political poem is true (well, all except for the “progressive” note. I am moderate/liberal as issues go. I’m also radically Christian. So it goes,Long time no see,Hope all’s well!

Sally I was thinking the other day, one person describes themself as far left far right, yet some views will be the same People in either camp.' So that all seems stupid looking on things, thanks for your visit.'

It could be pure fun, indeed... It is far more important to spend time with your family than to spend money. People seem to forget that as the holiday season approaches ... I like the positive message in this poem, Joe. Great work!

Hi Kelly, great to hear from you.. We can all do something i feel To improve our world while we are alive, that explains the Strong negative world oppression 'n w o' campaign at present Against the really sustainable mortal existence available that We are encouraged to turn away from.' I haven't heard from you In a while.' I hope you are well glad to see my mask isn't Offputting to you 'how the n w o normalised mask wearing Worldwide' btw two opposite realitys there' me trying to point Out the falsenes presented to us by the world in one, and the World forcing one on everyone to deny true reality.. GOD IS GOOD HIS KNOWEDGE IS WITHIUT END.! He have proved this To me by all the above, may He bless you and many.'

Nice Joe, you mentioned two weeks of freedom. Have you heard about the things that are happening in Iran? Once again a brutal regime this killing innocent people.

Joe, you mentioned Without reconciliation with God... The government of Iran is killing people under the name of God and Islam. They kill people, and they believe if they're innocent they're going to go to heaven so no crime is done. How many more people should die for God or religion?

It won't surprise me now Pashang, lunacy and evil intent are Loose upon the whole world, the spirits of many in charge are Not satisfied, and this is part of the issue, yet we all are waiting to Move into our (real home) eternity..' which explains the unease Without reconciliation to God, there will always this reality as We live more in the computer age the line between physical & Temporal is almost breached and yet cannot he's so they get More frustrated.' and the danage on earth multiplies I wish you Well, and thank you for commenting .'

Good sentiments, Joe. I would say , however, instead of Amazon, still buy gifts but go do it at your local shops and malls, who probably will all collapse due to the way our economy was handled for the past two years.

Well said, Joe; control desire and you control money. Instead of having an extra treat, I would rather feed someone hungry. Blessings!

Well commented on there are many ways of defending our Freedom, it's just up to us to explore them Joe.' If action is Taken, they will be wrongfooted; just as they have committed Their efforts to the coming season, I think it's a golden Oppertunity for humanity, should it be grasped.?
