Antifa.
I wonder
And I know this may be hard to swallow
But
I’m curious
If—
And please
you have to understand
Where I am coming from
Hear me out—
Because I don’t want you to misunderstand me.
Or my questions.
My family were immigrants—
Refugees.
First Stalin
Then Hitler.
My father was a hard working man.
He hoped we would assimilate.
My mother was born in a Berlin bomb shelter.
Broken from the start.
They did the best they knew how
With what little they had.
We have so much now.
And so I wonder if the rise in discontent
And escalating violence
From a relatively small minority of anti-capitalists
Who seem to lack true purpose
And feel disenfranchised in a system
That demands self-reliance in order to survive—
The ones who fell through the cracks
Even though they were promised
“No child would be left behind.”
They were promised so much…
Now they have no real leader
And no trust in authority.
They believe in nothing
Except their own imaginations.
And they hate.
Calling it love they hate.
If given half a chance
They would do
The same as their enemy did
And worse.
A pity.
So much potential lost.
And there is
Much work to be done.
When Earth needs us most.
And they still have their youth…
Is this rise in violence
From a relatively small-group
Of self-styled disenfranchised individuals
Who aren’t happy
With their station in life–
And are looking to blame
Anyone
For their suffering
And perceived lack–
In fact a response to
Civilized societies
Abandoning
Natural
Laws?
Just a question.

What is it you want?
Because right now all I hear is a whole lot of crying
“We want…”
Wait–
Ohhh…
I get it now.
Look.
I too
wanted to change
the world “for the better.”
I was no different
at your age.
Full of fear
and misunderstanding
hope and expectations.
I was so sure of myself.
But what did I know
about anything?
Least of all myself.
So I did things to
change myself
“for the better”.
I’d like to think
I’m succeeding.
Slowly…
I’d like to think
we are all succeeding.
In so many ways.
It may not seem
like much to you now.
But wait…
You will see.
If you look
inside your own heart
And discover the Truth:
The kingdom of heaven is within.
The change you so desperately
want is right here right now!
Generously, graciously, given
not taken by force
or coercion.
It is a gift.
And it is beautiful.

Song For The Other Side
We are living in chaotic times
And WE ARE AT WAR!
A nasty ideological
Bloody psychological war.
The battlefield is the mind.
And each time WE
By OUR thoughts words and deeds
Cause more discord–
It is a victory for the enemy.
All across the globe
we see this
brutal attack
on society.
A cancer spreading
throughout humanity.
Disregard for decency.
BUT THIS IS AMERICA.
LAND OF THE FREE.
In GOD we trust BRAVERY.
The oppressive progressive
political ideology
infiltrated
true democracy
but you are too blind to see
the hypocrisy—
or how you are
REPEATING HISTORY!
Blood on your hands in foreign lands…
KILL OFF THE BEST
save the rest
for your
CLASSLESS SOCIETY!
EQUITY
When we are
ALL
Equally living in poverty!
Except for a few
too many on top
this has to STOP
who
Dictate—Command—Decree
YOUR ABSOLUTE COMPLIANCE TO
THE SOCIALIST PARTY!
Slaves to the
socialist state
no longer free
living in fear
too afraid to see.
Now close
your eyes
and I’ll sing
you
a song
of a place
where:
no one has more than you
no one will envy you
no one will ever make you cry…

Hugs received! It is good to know more about you as well! I am so enjoying reading and sharing ideas here-I think this is how we create harmony in the world. I will look up the Venus project. Jealousy is strange-it only makes one who has feel badly. When I see someone successful-doing what they love and happy-it makes me happy. I want to be around them-it is easy to support them. Jealousy is useless. And when I hear happy stories of mother and daughters-I am happy for them. I don’t think jealous thoughts. It does me no good.
I’m glad to know you, Ilona. Thank you for reading and sharing your insights here. I appreciate it! Have a wonderful day! 🙂

Thank you. This is the chapter that would send me off to the gulags for sure. But no matter. It needed to be written.
I too hope for better days ahead. When we are tired of carrying these chains-when we realize we can easily slip the chains off.
I’m so grateful for your input, Huguetta! Thank you taking the time to read this story. I do hope it inspires a beautiful world to unfold. ❤️

These people were massive murders! I can only imagine what all these innocent people went through just because some psychopath was ruling!
Of course each word coming out from such hard experience is always inspiring and meaningful!
It’s better to die while breaking the chains then to live with them 👍👍

Thank you, Diane for saying so. I’m glad you never had to go any of this. You are too kind a soul-and God has other plans for you ❤️
I’m glad it’s kept your attention though. That’s encouraging to me-cause I’ll be honest when I first started this blog-I wasn’t sure anyone would want to read this! So you saying so makes me relax a bit. 🥰
I am grateful for all the kind supportive comments here. It’s been a difficult journey-how do I say this-I know God hasn’t given up on me-even when my own family has. 🙏🏻
