Anonymously I remain faceless in a soundproof booth when dictators reign Unforgivable leader guiltless non-truths, I’ll hide from the suffering in vain God willing I’ll move unseen unknown like the Beowulf poet wounded within Underhanded sinful strife crushing the heavens with tunes of a sad violin Sonnets I’ll write of undecided weak given into evil who’ll willfully applaud The fifty percent who stood divided, if fifty fifty then there is no room for God

We're hoping things will look better for us all. There are a lot of people who needed help and their needs were not skillfully addressed government. For example, during the fiscal crisis of 2008, we bailed out the lenders while many folks lost their homes. Those homes were bought by financiers who just got richer. I think Kamala understands that we need to focus on the middle class and try to address the hurt that exists. Some government programs may lessen the divide more after her election.

Attorney General she sided with those and fought for them, who lost their homes. Banks made loans they shouldn't have made. She is going build on the middle class, yes. TY Duke for your knowledge so important to give. xo

TY Beata! It's a fabulous name, this one was a little deep, about the division in our country like many other countries. We need room for God now more than ever. :)

Sending you light always

Ty Empress you always make the day brighter. You are a spark with endless light, uplifting, a spark with endless energy, one that'll never burn out. Some envy such gems. Stay in the light ;) xo

Nice, so much better than traditional seasonal poetry (ho hum). The reference to Beowulf - awesome. I actually wrote a three part epic focusing on the monster's mother and her attempts at revenge, complete with audio readings and some really cool very old Celtic music. Hey, I'll be 63 in a few days

Is your sign Leo or Virgo? Don't look now! ;) We're not celebrating, we're acknowledging the blessing of your birth. You are a blessing here, Tommy, you unite poets, my poem is about division, yet here you are as a reminder to try and unite us. Anyone else if you'd like I'll add you I'd be happy to. xo

TY Tommy, I want to get a message through to those who don't understand the importance of knowing percentage, it all counts for democracy! Give me the date of your BDay and I'll add it to my calendar OK, I'd love to!
