The Bag Lady

I believe it is quite clear that in the US now we have no humanity, and nationalism rules. I am saddened by these last few months.

Sunday Poser # 252-Nationalism vs Humanity

Every single time the callous speaker called people out, listing their faults, he would cause fear and sorrow. Mistakes were made but he would dwell on the past, causing tears to fall. The proper thing to do was move forward and tell a story of future successes. The opportunity to be positive was missed.

Share Your World 22nd September

Sparrows fluttered on the limb’s bark, their babbling speech heard through the forest. Piped with flowing water streams, with dirt bank slots a home for a snake nest, brush around the bank hid their home well. A loud rap from a man’s stick on nearby rocks exiled the slippery viper, if only temporarily.

It may have been your thoughtless choice

Threatening with your loud voice

Making everyone around you annoyed

Thinking t’was your speech they enjoyed

They only wanted silence to avoid

Another episode of behavior hysteroid.

Three Things Challenge #MM187

Respond to this Friday Faithfuls challenge by writing anything about the human condition, or share some of your experiences, emotions, challenges, and questions that defined you, or examine how love shaped your life, discussing the complexities of relationships, family bonds, friendship, and what it means to care for others, or write about overcoming adversity.

Today’s human condition is in chaos. Since Trump has tried to change all of the USA’s laws, destroying our entire country’s basic tenets, the world no longer sees our country as a fine place to live. Even if this is not their attitude and they still feel this place is ideal, they won’t be allowed to come. Our friends are now prior enemies, and our old friends are giving up on us. Ordinary citizens are in shock and fight back with protests but soon I feel these brave people will be shot or jailed according to Trump’s speeches. Overcoming adversity used to mean something you experience and work to control. Now it’s life threatening. A doomsayer, you say? People are afraid to walk in public areas, have to walk their children to school, or try to eat in favorite restaurants? It’s not a person they are frightened of, it’s the government!
