POETRY: "Snail" and a little classical guitar.

Mica Sun Reflections

Please keep showing up and supporting the cause: Black Lives Matter, "All Lives Matter" (of course we all do!), changing the system so that ALL of us can be in greater freedom from the forces that seem to want us to only serve and be oppressed.

Please, extend the right to vote to ALL citizens of our country -- felons and prisoners included. Tax-paying immigrants included. People serving long sentences for crimes; even those who made a violent choice 10, 20, 30, 40 years ago -- those who are still in prison, still denied a Voice to say "enough is enough! let's create a just society" -- who are legally allowed to be Used as slaves (do your research! it's true! a slave culture of voiceless prisoners and more and more laws "to lock them up"--) --

We need to push to change in this society. Police and Law Enforcement need to be held accountable -- directly to the people -- that means to me, to you, to our neighbors. And that means the whole institution of policing. Please vote, please know that WE ALL WANT JUSTICE -- FOR ALL! and I mean treating every human being with respect -- and also understanding the anger of people who have been pushed aside and silenced and used and mistreated for SO LONG -- and that includes some of *all* of our People, European, African, Native, everyone else -- over many many generations. We (Europeans) left Europe's oppression and hierarchy -- and need to get rid of that here. WE ALL WANT THE SAME THING AT CORE: Freedom, life, family, opportunity -- and fairness. Sure "Life isn't fair" -- but that's a lazy person's excuse, too. That doesn't let us off the hook -- "Life's not fair" so "now we can be assholes!" No. No. No.

Be Christian, if that's your creed. Follow the teachings of your Religion. Be Loving. Be Awake. Be Compassionate. Be Human and we must rise up to create together the best world we can! -- and if that means some Courage then By God let's have some courage. Courage to care -- courage to listen to your neighbors -- Courage to believe their stories. Courage to make this world a better one and not just for you but for everybody. "The richest country in the world" don't need more oppression -- we need liberation, and love, and courage. Please, let's stand together today.
