Awesome poem. Love how you got that whilst in there! I used to deal with the Brits a bunch in the 70-80/'/s.

Up there with the giants.
A bit of impending doom hangs over us as we read this. I almost looked over my shoulder to see if anyone was following me!

Oh to be willfully ignorant of death. Put that on my bucket list!

silence is a tabloid
junk
So too are constraints
normalcy
in the ghetto
someone is appreciative
of low low inflation
asking only to keep the dollar
high, cut taxes on the rich
that is their idea of tax reform
which raises the debt
which they say is the last thing
they want to do

let em blow off mountain tops
with no regulation
let them destroy the environment
so that they get rich

true oppression sits
already
its everywhere

that is a fact!

It is strange that folks most affected by
this have not noticed it yet.

But they will.

Peace!

Hello, old friend! Very glad I picked today to show my absent face around here so I could find this wonderful piece of work.

As always, it was a pleasure to read from you.
