# GOVT. SHUTDOWN - INSANTY'S FEAST

Whether you acknowledge it or not we have front row seats
to what extreme measures , crafty-savy deviousness
those who crave power will design to grab ultimate control of all the purse strings. We are witnessing end game stratagems by the Tea Party and billionaire
conservative tycoons who feel threaten by the culture change due to the election
of an African-Anerican Man as President.

Mischief is well trained.

SHATTERING STONES

Politics

Has become a disease

Unquarantined ~ Corporatized ~ Fund Riaser-ized

Boiling with the narcissistic high-minded and the gamesmanship of misdirection

And venomous egos like Ted Cruz, Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Plain and Michelle Bachman

Sermonizing their self-righteous, self-promoting holiness as the torch bearers

of America’s Founding Fathers.

~ Harmony’s Dreams being suffocated by these weeds ~

And Our Children shall always unknowingly play together, smile and laugh

While Mommy and Daddy search through secret corners of homes for hidden coins

Lost Jobs shed no tears; recite no prayers in our struggle

And still the faithful arise each day ~ Their muscles and bones still weary

Yet their vigilance is renewed and rejuvenated by their ordinary commitments

They do not haggle ~ They dismiss most hassles

So they can step forward each day as light embers

~ For a Child ~ For a Sick Family Member

~ For a Distressed Friend

~ For a Customer ~ For a Stranger

The Politics of Today is No New History

Love and Kindness versus Greed’s deception and self-ambition

~ Veritas ~ Summa Bona

Our Highest Good is the Fairness and Prosperity of All

The Healthy, The Struggling and The ILL

Designed with proactive legislative and corporate measures

Which consecrate our hopes of economic, racial and cultural fairness and justice

~ A Corinthian Love ~ Transforming Fortressed Minds and Hearts of Bigotry and Greed ~

This is the social revolution screaming at the Republican Congress

The Cultural mindset of America changing from the obsession of possessing stuff

To a New Frontier for our electric power grid, railways and roads and textile industries rebirth

~ New Fish to populate the pond of employment

Sadly the monster of technology and corporate luxuries has grown to large, to sophisticated to avoid

Seeds sprouting weeds, Weeds disguised as flowers, and flowers finding ways

 to be hybrids of themselves

~ Loop-Holes ~ Tearing apart the fabric of our society’s basic thread of honesty ~

~ The Multitude of Ways to legally be corrupt ~

I am not surprised by those who made this Frankenstein of profit making

And it is ironic that the god to many people praise is the phrase on the back of our currency

The Mansion of Democracy and Our Earth shows signs of crumbling

While political and corporate aristocrats world wide --- dance in palaces of denial…

And the after meal belching of dollar signs…

Peoples Tears should not be a crime…

# 50th ANNIVERSARY MARCH ON WASHINGTON

As a native Washingtonian I cannot clearly remember if at the age of seven

whether my mom took me to the 1963 March. However in honor of my Mom,

My Grandparents and my Uncle George and the great importance of todays

political climate it was more than essential that I be in attendance for this March.

I can clearly remember one of the very few times of seeing my Mom openly cry

was the evening of Martin Luther King Jr’s assignation in 1968.

((( Go See Lee Daniels’ THE BUTLER – Get A Reminder of Why )))

It is disheartening to me that I heard from people for not wanting to attend was

their non-support of Rev. Al Sharpton and even more disheartening is peoples

unawareness or non-concern of political measures being enacted at the state level

to block any federal legislation passed or purposed by President Obama. It is clearly

evident in Republican controlled southern states including Ohio and Pennsylvania.

All of that aside with a great honor burning in my heart I arrived at 20^th and Constitution Ave.

The first item of significance was a group of Navy men in yellow t-shirts marching, the many

Unions and NAACP groups from other states moving to the entrance. Tears flooded my heart

witnessing and participating the honor of a peaceful assembly of concerned citizens in homage

of all those who made it possible 50 years ago. In the early morning the most challenging thing

was the horde of mosquitoes from the Tidal basin feeding on us and no one was complaining.

As the morning move on with the two minute speeches and some of them arousing the whole

crowd. There where two people I surly thought would have more then two minutes were:

Michael Eric Dyson and Rev. Jesse Jackson. There was no exception as speakers were cutoff

with music when they went over you know my brothers definitely went over. So I wondered

why Rev. Jackson did not have more then two minutes being that he was with King on the

fatal day of his assassination. Never the mind my greater joys were seeing the youth organized

and chanting their concerns. The parents I spoke with who brought their children of all ages

as participates for their later years remembrance. My conversations of politics and sports with

other men since I was wearing my Jim Brown jersey. It was a full day of interaction for me.

Martin Luther King 3^rd speech was not the level of his father however it was inspiring. Now,

Rev. Sharpton gave a no holds, gloves off speech that inspired us all. I dare say he may have

emerged as our Civil Rights Leader for today’s issues.

My Prayer is that he and Rev. King 3^rd are continually fortified and supported for future

actions to grow this movement.

Voters Rights are the center peace of this movement because our rights to vote unencumbered

by new legislation or instead of new legislation is of vital importance. If we do not participate

On matters of womens rights to choose concerning abortion when she is raped or molested by

a family member or stand your ground law abuses or gun control. We will have dishonored

the men and women of the 1960’s Civil Rights Movement who shed blood and died for our rights

today.
