With experience comes eclectic in vivo patterns:

 

juxtaposed per academic learning nurtures wisdom.

 

Multiple scenarios kaleidoscope in the mature mind:

 

best decisions are the result of facets skillfully twined.

 

 

I am 81 polymath/autodidactic/academically taught:

 

A Renaissance Creator in belief/morals/kith/kinship.

 

Social Concerns passion is essay/poetry altruism:

 

democratic unification for world kith/kin vs schism.

 

 

Now in twilight years past is revivified countless ways:

 

memories everywhere – kith/kin, arts, social groups.

 

Everything seems familiar with surreal déjà vu: 

 

like centenarian Crayola box with every color/hue.

 

 

 

`Senior Interrupted’ in mid-60s close to death:

 

initial prognosis grim facing debilitating life:

 

Faith/kith-kin-pets love/support renewed days:

 

`all’ constant in massive prayers and praise.

 

 

Constantly guided new added to kaleidoscope:

 

luminaries via Kith/Kin/Arts /Social Groups.

 

I am grateful for A Renaissance Creative verve:

 

best I share with you is to LOVE & SERVE!

Dereliction of Duty

 DERELICTION OF DUTY

 

ARC © 07/21/22

Sometimes semantics gets in way of common sense:

 

President is Commander in Chief of our Military.

 

Oath of Office accepts Constitution and Martial onus:

 

premier has eclectic duties – respected power is bonus.

 

 

No one is above the law in American democracy:

 

Nixon had to resign when maleficence exposed.

 

Trump during campaign asserted followers’ blind:

 

he could murder someone, and they would not mind.

 

 

A getaway criminal driver is guilty if victim dies:

 

punishment is harsh and swift for felony acts.

 

Trump knew he incited immanent lawless action:

 

his grasp for power was Machiavellian malefaction.

 

 

 

Americans, rise up in horror, at this unsanity truth:

 

like Emperor Has New Clothes, supporters deny fact.

 

American history has multitudinous monstrous deeds:

 

ultra-right tries to deny/purge/eliminate like vile weeds.

 

 

Hitler’s Final Solution stirred by US exploit Indians/ slaves: 

 

Chomsky warns `historical amnesia’ denies naked truth.

 

Our January 6th committee EXPOSED Trump’s affliction:

 

treason law rules life incarceration for violent dereliction.

 

 

America must hold him accountable for horror unleased:

 

if not, we will embolden followers to exponentially grow.

 

We must prove to self and world integrity of principles:

 

CONSTITUTION epitomizes rights/justice for ALL ideals.
