Everyone is so focused on sexual freedom and same sex marriage
Seems to me the focus is all wrong
#AreWeSoFarGone?
Who really cares with whom you lay
when a bullet intended or stray will take you away
AreWeSoFarGone?
Are guns and bullets
dispensed from vending machines?
Random disturbed minds find pleasure in creating mass murder scenes
AreWeSoFarGone?
No space is clear, no safety anywhere
Schools running lock down drills ,
“Hide children so you don’t get killed!”
AreWeSoFarGone?
The President is yapping words, empty sounds
Wow!! The voters agreed to ‘make america great’ by letting the country
be run by a clown
AreWeSoFarGone?
Government officials making decisions based on
your race or your ethnic stand
In a country built with people who make up “melting pot” hands
AreWeSoFarGone?
This life matters, that life matters, your flag, my flag tongues just wag and wag
But STILL no justice for the  murdered, raped, bullied, beaten man, woman, child, mother, daughter, son, dad
AreWeSoFarGone?
People hiding behind religion to serve their destructive needs
As others stay on the knees screaming, crying to whatever they worship
 “Help us find peace please!”
AreWeSoFarGone?
Excuse after excuse day after day blaming one group after another for the state of the world today
Is this true or is there some world order at play?
AreWeSoFarGone?
Conspiracy theories have plagued our lands
Is a stepford society the ultimate plan?
AreWeSoFarGone?
Mark of the beast, gps chips in everything soon to be in our brains
Mans quest to take over the world is driving everyone insane
AreWeSoFarGone?
That badge for which we once had so much respect
Now we see it, anxiety kicks in and wonder
“Will they kill me next?”
AreWeSoFarGone?
We must be…
It seems the madness is slowly taking over you, taking over we
So the question still stands…
 AreWeSoFarGone?
If we are not so far gone, how do we get back before we are totally lost?

A man who bans prior to having plans

by Soulful Storytellers, LLC, posted in Eclectic thoughts
melting-pot
Dr. Seuss would have made a great  book from this title
“A man who bans prior to having plans
Told the woman she must leave this land
In her country she was always being beat
She barely had food to eat
She would rather die than go back
So 30 pills to her eternal dirt nap’
Whatever you may think of “us” #immigrants never lose sight of the fact that “we” contributed to this America creating the #MeltingPot it is today. Collectively we all benefit from it’s cultural #diversity, you can travel the world without ever getting on plane. We have gained more than we have lost from immigration. Many jokes have been told about people from one country having 10 jobs, or another country doing a specific type of job, but none-the-less they work hard. As with any organization, group of friends or even your own family there will always be people with less than stellar reputations, who don’t follow rules but you do not execute the entire group for the negative behaviors that amount to a small fraction of the whole.
How do you support the ban on a group of people, without a plan? (I’m not saying I agree or disagree) Does this mean if you ask a question, the answer is ‘no’, then you follow up with ‘why’, the response is ‘because I said so,’ you’re good with that?
We can all agree, it’s not what you do it’s how you do it. Corporation tactics don’t apply to running the country. “Make America Great” starts with building a foundation of respect for human beings irrespective of the factors that make us different. If the fraction is hurting the country from a long term view then present it accordingly, along with a plan of correction, then ban. You can’t change years overnight. If you want to bring your corporate training to this position use what applies strategic planning, impact analysis, incremental implementation. Wanton execution of executive orders is not the silver bullet to greatness, it’s the real time version of Snap’s The Power, “Like the crack of the whip, I Snap attack.“
Taken off the pages of Social Studies books to the film reel, School House Rock musically translated with cartoon images the greatness of America’s Melting Pot, 1977. Are we getting the strainer or better yet the cheesecloth to purify America, is that your “great?” Are you using the guise of protection for other purposes, selectively granting a pass to other countries due to investments holdings? Well, you showed everyone who you are, told them what you would do, and you’re doing it. For the time being we will just ride this out until the wheels fall off or the wall is built whichever comes first.
