invisible trails

I don't know why flipping the bird has a sence of power
even though the pilots can't see me
even though they don't know they will be killing their own children by toxic poisons
seven generations
I am trying to balance my thinking
I try not to see
the jets that are almost invisible in the metalic tinged air
today they spray the white trail that quickly dissipates to the metallic cast
that most people don't notice
two passes and then I came inside to fight my sence of hoplessness with words.
Words that stay unoticed but still seem to be my best way to float up to the surface
for a breath
instead of sinking to the bottom of the chasm. I write hoping that in some slight way
it helps.


christmas 2011 decided that Jack' or mom's family or friends could read the following :
I wrote last week sunday before Christmas
my mom's husband jack is not my step father
Park is. I am trying to trust Jack as I always have tried. Mom's almost been married to him for ten years. He cheered when I said that SOPA would make it so people like me could get arrested for speaking out by using arbitrary laws enacted by laws like the Senate and congress plotting on today......Jack literally stood up and cheered. I was astonished. My mom shushed him. He utterly controls my mom's money. He told us that he is using the money that my mom put into his house to pay for the improvements on this house. Other than that our early Christmas was great. Nephew Brandon is a ballast. I love my Mom
2011 I support and love jack he just has a sneaky air about him that makes me suspicious of him 50 percent of the time. I talk myself out of it the other times.

sanity

How does a sane person
look at the sky?

Depleted uranium
sprayed on our heads
What would a sane person do?
But fall on her knees and pray
to all the Lords and Ladies
to look at what they do.
In deep denial of their only defense
Their strength and their glory
the courage to be unafraid
to separate from the means
of control: Fear and hypnosis
when humanity should know better by now and we should be waking up
because death for many and maybe all
has its hot breath on our shoulders
because we believe the lies
because we refuse to take our hands from our eyes.

Circle the Wagons

Dear Senate Leader Reid,
I hear you were a golden glove boxer. You must have had courage at that time. now you seem to be aiding and abetting the corruption in Washington DC.
Why can the Republicans just threaten filibuster and you quake like a abandoned child? You don't make them stand and talk for hours and hours but if a Democrat filibusters you make them. Why? Are you sure that you are a Democrat or are you a Corporatist cloaked as a servant of the people, when your real masters are the Lobbyists? We need change. I would like to see you retire your leadership or get some golden cajones.


I wrote the following to the Chairman of the Finance Committee,
Senator Baucus. :

I am horrified by the amount of pressure that the Senators are under, that has caused you to say that 'single payer system is not on the table'.
I thought bribery and blackmail was illegal! It seems that rot is at the core of the way DC does business.. In Washington State, car insurance is mandated and it is getting to be unaffordable. The way it sounds is that the finance committee is setting us up for something that is written by those companies that have been the cause of the health care crisis. I firmly believe that this issue will be a barometer on who is corrupt and who isn't.
You all know what would benefit the majority of your constituents but are swayed by the bribery and blackmail entrenched in Washington DC. If we do not have Public Option in the health care Bill you will have failed us(we the people) and will have shown every American that you and your ilk have succumbed to corruption. You will have the fight of your life to be re-elected for anything. Oh, I guess that won't matter because you can always become a lobbyist.
I pray that you will become a man of courage and morals and will circle the wagons, let the Republicans and Lobbyists have hissy fits while the Democrats stand tall and proud for standing up for the American people.

Sincerely, Nancy Brickman.
