The collapsing US military & economic empire is making Washington & NATO even more dangerous. US could not beat the Taliban but thinks it can take on China-Russia-Iran...a sign of psychopathology for sure. We must all do more to help stop this western corporate arrogance that puts the future generations lives in despair. @BruceKGagnon

Let it be Real


Let it be real
let the truths
of our moment
become clear

we need
to grieve
and organize
the storm is
rumbling

humans have survived
all these hard years
because we sat
around council fires
shared
rich history
of our time
on the mother planet

we connected
to the waves of time
listened to the voices
of the dolphins,
birds,
lions and tigers
the clams
and the worms

we felt the life
energy
from the
tree roots,
the wind spoke to us
water soothed us
all inside the web
from the womb

We brought the
Motha home

looking up
sliver of moon
connecting us

early morning
at Bath Iron Works
workers rolled in

we shared our hearts
and some shared back

Our message is
simple
survival
for all the relations

At the local high school
guitar strumming
strange Asian voice
kids clapping
3rd floor window

one youngster
dances with the Asian
man
dressed in pink
calls it the
'hot pink dolphins'
sneaks in the heart
of Jeju Island
on the twist side

Working together
in the kitchen
feeding stomach
and soul
a moving web of life,
love,
and determination

Music all the way
Korean and
country style

strong words
by many

we don't want to pretend,
to not know,
what is really
going on....

our responsibility?

listen to the
heart beat
protect the
future generations
from
Mr. Big

Love
calls us back
again and again
til we pass it on.....

Thanks
y'all
