The American way of ignorance is under attack.


“Vatican to Bishops: Believe Little Kids, Investigate All Sex-Abuse Claims”

Vatican, you should have always believed the little kids! Your turning a blind eye to their suffering has been well documented, so excuse me if I somehow doubt your claim.


“Canada to inessential US travelers: Please stay home”

Are WE all inessential travelers, unless we’re feeding, clothing and sheltering those in need? Aren't we inessential over all if we're not living, loving and laughing?

“'Science should not stand in the way' of schools reopening, White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany says”

The puppet's of doublespeak,
One side of the mouth says eek,
The other side says all's well,
In the meantime, the strings swell,
They tighten our incuriousness,
They bulge within to a fury, so we love less,
But at what price, what inessential cost
Will our purpose and need be wholly lost?

I have been witness to the four pillars and see no reason to carry death there. Doesn’t the world know that life moves for more than just the sons of Abraham? O! I see the stunned throats floating by in the dusk to their stiff-limbed sleep as metal rains down over the Jordan’s western prophet, children dying there.

It's both, money and us in tandem, thus assuring money's might and our adherance to its loudness. (Madness...) Indeed. © 2017 Mark Richard Prime

THE ROCK HOLDS

The rock holds the soil in and from the soil springs the tree, the green of LIFE rolling from the blue, rising to the occasion of itself. . “Be!”, the (H)eartH declares, “Be what you are!” . (We thought we were!) . (We think we are!) . “You are, but not freely, therefore, only a thought, and a thought without much thinking, as if you were scared into it.”, the (H)eartH added. .
