Tikkun Olam is Hebrew for repairing the world, and if ever
Our world was dispairingly in need of repair that time is now
I wonder what the Hebrew translation is for repairing
The post published previously to this one, which has gone as
Haywire as is true of our nation’s leadership, which is made up of
Three chambers of governing bodies, brilliantly conceived by
Our forefathers to create a system of checks and balances thus
Insuring that our mighty populous would never bow to
The iron will of a despot-in-the-making though that is exactly what
Has been taking place ever since the donald’s heartless dictates have
Spun his utter lack of moral, social, business and now political
Ethics into the darkness of a cocoon that has already wound
The intelligence of two branches of national leadership (as well as
Much of our voting citizenry) within the mental frenzy that
Frees not a butterfly but a deranged, fire breathing dragon that
Inflames whatever little is left of the moral fiber of our nation, which
Having been on the decline for decades, can plainly be seen burning
The personal safety of hard working people to a crisp in such
A blatant manner as to make our shocked-to-the-max eyes aware of
Fearing terrorists, born and bred on foreign soil, less than
We have sound reason to fear Our current (lack of) leadership, which
Day in and day out, is bringing us to our knees due to
The low blows we’ve sustained under the domination of
The stone hearted maniacal greed of the donald, whose
Diabolical determination to surround his I nsecurities with henchmen, who
Having been brainwashed to do the bidding of this Dark Force of
Human Nature, can be seen lying, scheming and hacking
Deeper truth into pulverized bits as though making mortar with which to
Adhere one brick to another while assembling The Gulag (which dt’s
Rise to power is sure to build) as quickly as is true of any dictator, who
(Like Stalin) snares brains (like spiders catching flies) into
Tangled webs of illegal international intrigue, which are as
Abhorrent to the minds of decent folk who feel as aghast, today, as
Was true when Hitler’s mercurial rise to power gave
A mass murderer license to develop the gestapo, which, while
Marching Der Führer's troops across Europe, set up offices of torture in
Record time during WWII while the logical portion of
The thought processors of Der Führer's countrymen remained
Tightly compressed within the dark spell of fear-based
Tension-filled knots, which, having cast a sleeping spell over
The compassionate side of human nature, freed the heartless side of
Men, women and children to be thoroughly brainwashed by
Diabolical evil so great as to remain stunned as though
The intelligent portion of their think tanks had been
Tightly cocooned within a breathless brainless mental stupor, marinating in
Terror’s demented tension-based confusion within the bowels of
A darkened theater where most eyes remained glued to
The melodramatic anarchy that reels inside human minds in real time as
Though all WE are capable of doing (while watching td whitewashing
His raging ravagement of democratic ideals) is to stand in
Place like statues as was true when the twin towers, exploding into crumbled into
A fiery blaze, crumbled to the ground before our deer-in-headlights-eyes on 9/11
And though today’s desperate call for action (and it’s not lost on me that
Today happens to be 9/11/2018) demands that deep thinkers awaken from this
Nightmarish sleeping spell and get busy thinking out of the box before
Present day's passivity frees fear’s feeding frenzy of full blown greed and
Prejudice to rally trump’s troops to rise to the heights of mob mentality, which
Proves so emotionally immature as to burn every bridge that strengthens
Our brains’ connection to common decency as decreed by
The Ten Commandments, which every dictator’s diabolical rise to
Self empowerment has blatantly attempted to burn at the stake (thankfully
All ten were engraved in stone) and paraphrasing the boastful voice of
Today's dictator-in-the-making, who currently aspires to rise to world domination:
“I could shoot someone on the street in plain sight and
They (who are lost in the maze of dt's stupor-like spell) would still vote for me,”
At which time, glassy-eyed congressmen, who comprise the disenfranchised
Powers of the Republican Party would close their eyes and ears even more tightly to
The fact that the snake, slithering here and there, spewing venom, which poisons
What little is left of the foliage branching forth from the Tree of Knowledge, ups
The stakes of his unethical demands, enflaming the compassionate hearts and
Ethical mindsets of men, women and children throughout the world at large, who
Have not yet fallen under the sleeping spell of td’s two year old tantruming
Tirades that thunder down each time the donald does not get his way while
On the other hand here is what we hear whenever our stunned-out-of-their-
Right-minds Republican legislators open their mouths in reply to their
Constituents rightful demand for change for the better, tout de suite:
This shows not over, so pass the popcorn, please and a frothy mug of
Kool-aid laced with denial to wash the bull shavings down, because
I'm so full of shit as to be in dire need of relieving myself of
Accountability, but the line up of terrified liars, standing in
A quivering stupor ahead of me is so long that the intelligent portion of my mind is
About to explode with self revulsion of someone doesn't save me from myself ...
And thus does the picture painted above color in trump’s
Evil spell of self-serving, fear-based greed, which having taken wing, tightens
The noose of his hot winded, negatively focused, filibustering nonsense ever
More tightly round our nation’s oxygen deprived, anxiety prone
Thought processors—and though hate mongering is not newly
Arrived with trump’s unhinged take over of The Oval Office, which
Had once been a highly revered meeting place where
A few good men (imperfect as they may have been) had brainstormed
In hopes of defeating the pox of evil from spreading through our nation as
Fast as a California wildfire leaves ashes of mass destruction in its wake—
We've never before stood witness to pure evil, running rampant through
Our streets, belching its dark smoky spell from within the sanctity of our
Federal seat of government, which like the donald’s brain is
Literally growing beyond checked and balanced self-control—OMG!
How can it be true that we of sound mind can’t cut through D.C.'s
Red tape so as to leap off the hook and impeach this hate mongering
Liar before he (like a snake, high on grass while swallowing a timid mouse too
Scared to squeak) devours our nation's rational leadership, whole? Pleeze!
A few good men and women, who can muster the courage to stand up to
Their fellow Republicans so as to unseat trump's bills before they can be
Passed in the senate is all we need! Pleeze! Rise up and be so bold as to
Come-out-come-out, wherever you are so as to take hold of
The baton thus offering my intuitive powers a rest break in which to
Relax my voice so as to inspire my story teller to come out to play!
I mean—if "we can do no great things just small things with
Great love" (Mother Teresa) then I‘ll continue to post and publish
Whatever the creative center of my brain feels driven to pen in hopes of
Remaining sane in a world that’s torpedoed our nation's sense of
Political leadership, which had once worked toward strengthening
Its citizenry’s hold onto our heritage of personal safety throughout
The land of the free and the home of the brave, until now—Seriously—
If America is to remain great then it’s way past time for
A few good men and women, led by Nick (as in the nick of time)
To arise and do more than demonstrate before The White House, where
The donald's crass tweets couldn't care less about nakedly trashing
Your constitutional rights and mine, which is why we must engage in
The the kind of self empowerment that's associated with brainstorming so
Creatively as to effectively untie our tensely wound brains and re-unite
Our spirits, which have been languishing in muddied confusion rather than
Proactively booting Trump out of The Oval Office, tout de suite, which
Would be no small thing, and now, turning my podium toward speaking of
Achieving small gains with great love (thank you Mother Teresa)
I'm inclined to request that we concentrate our minds upon
This week's high holy day feast (at which time The Jewish people celebrated
The birthday of the world as though Divine inspiration guides us
Annually, to work toward ‘repairing the world', again and again), and
Just as Will and I welcome loved ones to participate in our Passover feast
It's been my personal pleasure to prepare a feast for family and friends on
Rosh Hashanah, because I've focused upon celebrating new beginnings ever
Since we chose to dwell with our sons in the desert more than forty years ago
(As was true of the Jewish people, who having been enslaved for hundreds of
Years, followed Moses, who had risen up in bold defiance of trump's—uh
I mean pharaoh's heartless dictates, and now, having vented to
My satisfaction (yet again), I feel need to repair the post published previous to
This one, which, having gone haywire for unknown reasons, will be
My next self assigned task after we take a moment to visualize
A bright-eyed child, whose innocent processor is being encouraged to
Grow up to become a clear headed Future Leader of America, while
I continue to implore the adult population of the world to take a proactive
Role in holding yourself accountable for keeping Tony, Ray and Ravi safe from
Terrorists, both near and far, by spreading not alarm but by absorbing
Effective solution seeking skills with which to groom our youth to calmly and
Thus intuitively call upon creativity to think out of the box while we keep
Our eyes and theirs trained on any flaming red ball of fury, emblazoned
With the names of despots (one of which is trump), in order to cover our bases after
Batting each next aspiring dictator out of the ballpark before
Mob mentality, brainwashed to resurrect the final solution (aided by our continued
Passivity) comes knocking at your door and mine wherever we may dwell within
This wide-wide world, which vacillates between becoming narrow minded and
Then wider in scope before boomeranging back to narrow minded, again, though
Common sense has always relied upon an open minded, inclusive attitude of
Leadership that must become ever more consistently expansive, considerate and
Creative concerning cutting through red tape so as to protect the well being of
One and all, because all children, the world over, deserve to enjoy
The universal freedoms that are denied to those who so sadly are barely
Surviving, and for that reason we must stand up and demand that
All children feel so well nourished as to stand strong while choosing to
Hold hands with those of us, whose Democratic way of life (now
Being threatened from within The Oval Office) will encourage more of
You than ever before to vote for leadership that will set a high value upon
Respecting each and every person’s right to stop walking on egg shells while
Hiding under fear's cloak of passivity in favor of demanding that
Our governing bodies vote for legislation that offers every American
The right to thrive! So, go get-em, Ravi—stand up on your soapbox during
Show and tell and when it's circle time to share your feelings, feel free to
Sing along when your generation's innocent voices chime in to clarify that
Divided we fall, united we stand as strong as your existential voice, harmonizing
With Gramma's, will one day hope that all ages will arise and implore
Our citizenry to vote for those who will vote for the good of one and all—or
We'll sadly limp along while trump continues to crack the whip passed down by
Simon Legree, whose handwriting is not just on The Wall; it's imprinted on
Pieces of illegal legislation that trump wants to whip through Congress before
Your vote and mine is cast in November so he can disempower those of
Us who, refusing to jump through the master of deceit’s hoops, favor each one
Doing his and her best to absorb our nation's need to recreate the bigger picture of
Democracy at work until humpty trumpty falls off the wall and lands on
His swollen ego with egg dripping down his face in disgrace, thus providing
Our young with a head start toward growing up to create major change for
The better, beginning in November of 2018—and now you know why
Ravi and I teamed up while celebrating the birthday of the world in hopes of
Passing forward today’s intuitive baton of deeper truth, with which
My generation will hand the sanctity of democratic ideals on to hers—and
So it is written that as the Jewish New Year unfolds, I envision deep thinkers
Brain storming while holding hands round the globe, no matter our reigious belief
Nationality, color or creed while together we chanting in unison: God Save America
(And thus the world at large) from trump before children have reason to ask: Why
Do I see stars (this time encircled by crescents) sewn onto some sleeves while
Swastikas appear on others—AGAIN?
And now you know WHY the Jewish people feel compelled to give voice to
Heartfelt need to stand strong while memories of loved ones, crushed against
Each other in boxcars where they stood in mental and physical torment for
Days, deprived of food, water or containers in which to deposit
Bodily excrement, and all the while, none had so much as a clue as to
What lay ahead until the train stopped and box car doors were pulled back
Allowing the stench to escape before a sea of horror stricken faces appeared as
one person after another was yanked down to the platform where terrified
Grand parents and parents, valiantly shielding their silent or screaming children
We’re torn apart in camps where good people, selected to be starved
Experimented upon and enslaved watched dour faced soldiers pointing
Loaded firearms at unending lines of innocent youth, the aged and ill, who’d
Felt themselves prodded like cattle while snarling sharp canine teeth on
Short leashes Threatened to tear into tender flesh, trembling with horror as
Millions on their way to slaughter were led toward large shower rooms where
Having been ordered to strip naked, good people of all ages were
Mercilessly gassed, burned or machine gunned to death before being
Shoveled into mass graves some still breathing—barely alive, but
Alive, none the less, —though to this very day, the insane morbidity of
The unfathomable depths of our loved ones’suffering under the thumb off
A maniacal despot remains alive in every Jewish mind as though their hearts
Beat in time with ours so as to remind the world in no uncertain terms:
Mein Führer—
NEVER AGAIN!
Not in Israel!
Not in North America!
Not in South America!
Not in Africa!
Or Europe!
Or Asia!
Or Antartica
Or Australia
Or anywhere on our planet where voices of all ages long to ring out freely with
My country, tis of thee, sweet land of liberty of thee I sing!
