Close Enough To Perfect
Am I close enough to perfect for you? Even though, nobody appears to be compatible with me. You see, love is not about, whether someone is compatible with you. All that is required, is a willing partner of the opposite sex. Love is about commitment, because it’s really all up to us, if we want to be compatible with each other.
Compromise
The more time you spend with your opposite, the more you will discover, that you have more things in common. And if you spend even more time with her, you will find out, that you have less things in contrast.

You’ve been in this predicament before,
But you’re almost past your prime, so you need to score.
So before you end up dancing alone on the floor,
You’re still hoping someone might ask for one more.
But what you should really be asking for,
Is a traditional man who won’t think you’re such the bore.
Because it seems every time you find someone to adore,
These republican men only give you headaches galore.
And the reason the last democrat walked out the door,
Is because you gave him heartburn all the way to the core.
A man’s heart is the leader in love,
But if that’s what you want, you’ll have to ..read more

Love is a broad, broad word.
I was caught up in the moment!
I didn’t really mean to hurt anyone?
And besides, now you know,
That it wasn’t going to work out.
This follows me around,
And there’s nothing, I can do about it.
All I can speak on, is my truth.
Spanish Translation
El amor es una palabra amplia, muy amplia.
¡Estaba atrapado en el momento!
¿Realmente no quise lastimar a nadie?
Y además, ahora ya sabes,
Que no iba a funcionar.
¡Esto me sigue, siempre!
Y no hay nada que puedo hacer al respecto.
Lo único que puedo decir, es que esta es mi realidad.

Love can be two-faced—
Bringing joy and then pain,
A dangerous ride for your emotions—
Leaving you in bliss or in shame.
False love will make rivers flow,
Leaving you to drown in sorrow—
Feeling tormented—
Like you’ve never been before.
But because my desire is bold,
It is prideful and overbearing,
It consumes me with its intensity,
That I cannot turn away.
For love can heal and mend,
And make you whole again,
Make you happy; make you smile—
As wide as the universe.
But is that enough,
For you—to want—to hold on,
Or is the pain I’m sharing,
Too much for you to bare?

But looking back, now I see the truth,
That sometimes pain is the only proof,
I needed a sign, for me to break free,
From the chains that bound you and me.
Too many years of pushing ourselves apart,
Slowly and subtly, it was wounding my heart,
Mutually assured destruction—a toxic game,
Arguments and manipulation, living in shame.
Incompatibilities, differences in priorities,
Forgetting who we were, losing our identities,
I see now, the puzzle pieces didn’t actually fit,
Hollowed out shells—a bond that was incomplete.
We had nothing of substance to keep us together,
My devotion wasn’t enough to ..read more

Once upon a time, in a country known as Democracyland, there lived two neighboring communities: Libertyville and Securitytown. These communities had different government policies when it came to borders and civil rights, making them quite distinct from one another.
In Libertyville, the citizens valued individual freedoms and diversity above all else. They believed in welcoming newcomers with open arms, providing asylum to those in need, and promoting the idea that everyone, regardless of their background, deserved a chance to thrive. The borders of Libertyville were porous, allowing people to ..read more

The southern border
is not “being invaded”.
There’s not a military enemy
swimming across the Rio Grande.
Citizens, why do you frame humans
as illegal migrants?
When all they’re seeking
is “humanitarian parole.”
Installing razor wire
is not a state’s “right of self-defense”.
It’s a “crime against humanity”
don’t you also bleed, when you’re cut?
The asylum law
doesn’t condone cruelty to refugees.
Nobody has the legal right
to denigrate immigrants.
Republicans complain about the border crisis,
but when Senator Lankford
negotiated a bill with the Democrats,
MAGA Republicans threw him under the bus ..read more

There’s love, and then there’s reverse love. Either way, your heart finds joy or a deviant purpose for its existence.
If you love a group of people, there will always be somebody for you to feel empathy for, to sympathize with, or to care for.
If you go the other way, there will always be someone for you to be disgusted with, to hold in contempt, for you to fear.
If you pursue the object of your affection, your heart will find contentment. If you hound the object of your disgust, your heart won’t rest until the last one is found.
Then, what is your heart going to do? Will it remember that it u ..read more

When facing propaganda, be wary and wise,
schemes that profit, state actors will disguise.
Modern charlatans, manipulating with skill,
using fake media, false equivalences will instill.
Our emotional instincts, no match for their deceit,
repeating blatant lies, brings societal defeat.
Your money and dignity, both are at stake,
casinos and lotteries are both on the take.
When Trump asks, “What the hell do have to lose?”—
it’s obvious your sovereignty, he wants to abuse.
A smooth operator, gambles with your wealth,
an authoritarian—with your liberty’s health.

In the shadows, an angry mob awaits, with an evil intent,
bigots and neo-fascists, with a message of dissent.
Seeking to desensitize, and numb the feeble mind,
by spreading fear and hatred, to all of mankind.
Protesting and parading, they hide behind a mask,
trying to normalize their presence, is a traitor’s task.
And with a lie of tolerance, democracy they ensnare,
an unlawful infiltration; an occupation—everyone beware!
Their incendiary rhetoric—a time bomb surely to ignite—
inciting cynicism, with every word they speak and write.
Acts of treason they inflict, against a weary population,
