SKYLINE

Yup
No doubt about it
Over these past several days, while
My inner detective has felt need to plug into
A refueling station, my last train of thought has been
Adding details enriching the shipment of
Insights stowed within cars that have continued to
Couple up until today when intuition engineered
My processor’s decision to switch tracks away from writing about
Those who’ve absorbed heightened levels of
Leadership skills necessary to turn our national focus toward
A track where change for the better considers
The mental, emotional, physical, social, financial and spiritual
Well-being of all who’ve stepped foot on our shores with
Naught but family in tow hoping to chug forward toward
Creating a wholesome life in a land where open mindedness
Welcomes people of all ages, colors and religious preferences to
Unite so humanely as to honor each other’s basic need for
Safety as clearly detailed within the inalienable rights of
The Declaration of Independence and
The Constitution of the United States of America—
You see, our national spirit cannot be united until
All individuals, whose ancestors chose to rebuild their lives on
Our soil, honor the basic needs of newcomers as matching
Their own—BTW—if you choose to backtrack so as to
Review insights added to my previous train of thought
Please be certain to turn that train of thought sideways (literally)
So as to see the city skyline that will manifest on
The right hand margin as if to say: Imagine the expansive
Nature of thirteen colonies growing into countless
Major metropolis’s from coast to coast in which people from round
The world consider our nation to be the safe haven in which
To raise their young to aspire to become worthy citizens of
The USA, where each child, working earnestly in school toward
Achieving the upward mobility that accompanies
Inalienable ‘rights’ of citizenship, is likened to both of
My parents, who accompanied their parents in
Steerage across the ocean, who, upon docking ship, were
Seen bowing their heads in grateful supplication to
The Lady in The Harbor, whose Torch of Freedom continues to
Burn so brightly (more than one hundred years later) as to warmly
Welcome every heart filled with hopes of experiencing
Freedom, liberty, kindness and compassion for all—I mean seriously
Let’s take note of the fact that the human heart beating within
Every breast is no different in color, creed, nationality or
Religious belief from any other, and just as human hearts do not
Discriminate between being the life force that pumps
Nourishment throughout the body of a blue eyed blond or
A brown eyed brunette, every child of God, whose parents, seeking
Asylum within our borders from mental, emotional, physical and
Economic cruelties, arrives in desperate need of guidance and
Support rather than imprisonment during life’s most challenging
Times, suggesting that any snake in the grass as slippery as trump, whose
Forked tongue tears parents and children apart, expressly to herd
Innocent lambs, by the thousands, into metal cages where
Terrified babes are locked in like livestock, deserves to be
Incarcerated himself, and right after that logical consequence
Concerning trump’s insanely inhumane behavior seemed every bit as
Justifiable as is locking up any maniac who chooses to
Kidnap and cage one little girl or boy in the basement of his
House of horrors—I have to ask—How in Hell is trump’s
Horrific display of stone cold, maniacal heartlessness still
Lording it over all of us in The Oval Office?  Are his
Senseless indecencies so horrific in nature as to overwhelm
The logical portions of lawmakers’ brains as though they’ve been
Shot in the head with a stun gun so often as to be rendered
Unconscious concerning the number of unconscionable acts
Against mankind that trump continually trumps up?
And with that question pumping fury throughout my entire being
My processor switches tracks from the thug who outsmarts
Us so pathetically that we can’t figure out how to dispose of
This diabolical criminal legally (Whaaat?  Seriously??) toward
Visualizing The Eternal Flame at Arlington, a place of
National holiness where regardless of color or religious belief
All who have fallen in defense of national freedoms are respectfully
Laid to rest, and as today’s insight driven intuitive train of thought
Reflects back over a courageous young woman named Jacqueline
Igniting that flame during her greatest time of personal anguish
The intuitive portion of my mind leaps, once again, toward
Embracing the minds of philosophers,psychologists and
Scribes, who, throughout the ages are revered for piecing together
Detailed ‘bigger pictures’ of human progress inching across
The historical timeline in 3D in hopes of inspiring each next
Generation of youth to grow toward creating incremental
Changes for the better most especially in concurrence with
Raising tomorrow’s children to value compassion and kindness over
Egocentric greed before heir brief sojourn on Planet Hollywood turns
Planet Earth into yet another blazing inferno of a disaster movie rather than
Scripting a heartfelt family oriented romcom filled with ups and
Downs culminating with the classic happy ending that every child’s
Innocent red blooded heart longs to grow up to call his/her own ...
PS
If you choose to review the train of thought immediately preceding
This one, penned today, then afterward, please remember to
Turn it on its side, because in order to grasp the deeper meaning of
Every aspect of life and love that seems just beyond reach requires
Each of us taking a series of courageous leaps of faith beyond our emotional
Comfort zones, thus developing a chorus line made up of
Self assertive voices ringing out with the necessity of holding
Ourselves accountable for making our way through classically
Difficult personal growth spurts, which may not please
The deafening rebuffs of everyone who demands that you and I stop
Rocking row boats that cycle round and round within
Stagnant murky ponds, and thus are we, whose spirits choose to pull
The bell shaped curve of mediocrity forward on
The historical time line forced to string together cocoons in which
Inter-related insights inspire the crawling nature of caterpillars to
Morph quietly into butterflies until their wingspans expand yesterday’s
Narrow point of view to match a much more mind broadening
Bird’s eye view that soars toward straining to achieve such
Mental heights above the norm as to naturally feel need to develop
A self assertive voice that sees way beyond the little which had
Previously been seen and heard when a mindset remained
Woodenly rooted within such a small plot of ground as to have
Mistaken the merry-go-round that each of us is on
As being all there is to life and love, when in truth, reality
Suggests that—Rather than being one of the riders,p
Your earmuffs and blinders (like mine) continued to deny
Your conscious awareness access to the wide angled
Lens necessary to absorb the classic nature of this next
Deeper truth—All along, we’ve been someone’s
Work horse, suggesting that someone’s been riding us to
Do their bidding so as to meet their needs while dismissing our own
Suggesting why our ups and downs are most often based in being
Led to water but no matter the depth of our thirst, no one has
Yet expanded our narrow minded attitudes to change for
The better so that when those holding our reins lift their
Half full cups and clink, exclaiming—Cheers!  We remain
Rooted in the dark at the leaky end of the trough at a loss as to
What in the world needs to change concerning our attitude, which
Sees little to feel cheerful about as long as blinders remain in place
Until the blessed day arises when seeds, planted within
Your life force and mine give rise to fragile seedling, which
Stem from deeper truths that make sense of nonsense that can
No longer drive us half way to crazy, because group think
Can no longer inhibit our self assertive voices from courageously
Thinking for ourselves no matter how often mediocrity closes ranks in
Their unsuccessful attempts to aim at our vulnerabilities so as to
Make us feel undeservedly guilty for prioritizing our needs not
Over theirs but on the same plane as theirs, at long last!
And though the fragile new growth of stems of
Self assertiveness will remain in need of stakes until
Inner sensations of personal need for mind expansion
Takes root (thus motivating each one of us from
Deep within to lead oneself to cast off our blinders and
Earmuffs so as to set our sights away from mountains of
Prejudice toward the screen door leading toward claiming
A seat at the round table that draws our smarts to place
Our spiked hiking boots aside so as to take our rightful place
Amongst leadership whose we’ll educated think tanks can freely
Replace the heavy yoke of our inner work horse with
Strings of translucent pearls of wisdom as
We choose to participate in discourse with those whose
Open-minded, positively focused
Experientially skilled roles of responsible leadership have
Naturally embraced the personal inclination to take
Mankind under their wingspan, which naturally includes
All of God’s children in need of believing that sound reason exists to
Raise their young to respect each other’s differences while lifting
Half full glasses so as to toast to the kind of Life
Lived in a nation in which WE choose to LOVE one other
Not defensively and thus mean-mindedly but
Generously and indiscriminately—thus whole-heartedly, BELIEVING that
A despicable person such as trump consistently proves to be will find
Himself incarcerated for inhumane crimes committed against mankind, and
Once notre tour de force est un fete du complete, the sun will come out—tomorrow!
L’Chaim!
