the signs of the times...
My eyes have seen the glory of days of sunshine, nights of radiant reflection; and now they see the sprouting lawns of America [those blue signs of HOPE everywhere] a rebirth, a renaissance of a great spirit, and then the music of the splendid scene jerks to a halt...McCain and Paiin....
No, its McCain and Pal...er.. Governor what's- her -name...but the point was just so ...poignant
my eyes found truth beneath the advertising...yes, McCain and Pain..the wisdom of myoptic eyes and a brain registering at 50 mph in a 40 mph world. Pain is the insight of this moment, a nation shedding the locked steps of pain and fear, raising eyes and visions above mediocrity ...the fates of the ordinary. A Nation so blessed in bounty, resources and courageous people...so unseemly to be seen hiding in fear, fear of itself...fear of fear...fear for the sake of fear.
Pirates roamed the seas in an earlier age bringing terror and destruction, taking lives for profits. Governments secretly hired them to advance their jealousies and ambitions without showing a true flag...black cloth and bones ...now we have a scourge of terror in the world...created by our own hand in Afghan struggles, created by the proliferation of weapons [we have sponsored], created by the inattention to details of government which also show in slow hand reply to hurricane skies, and feebled bridges rusting away in air too full of acid and heat, the partisan starving of our great cities who vote too blue...we have neglected so much...and enriched too few, trickled down wealth and generous takings of the time and precious lives of our young men and women in uniforms of courage and honor...deserving the best we can give in leadership...receiving far, far less...
McCain and Pain, confusion and delusion... a tandem of beasts beneath an undisclosed master it seems...for we simply do not know where they would make war or when ...but the rest, seems assured...
signs sprung on the lawns, naming hope or pawns, choice or dim chance of peace...prosperity awaits the dilligent attention of a people determined to pursue its interests...fairly defined and considerate of other nations, and peoples.
America rises in Autumn this season of Change.
