There is a place where the sidewalk ends
And before the street begins,
And there the grass grows soft and white,
And there the sun burns crimson bright,
And there the moon-bird rests from his flight
To cool in the peppermint wind.
Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black
And the dark street winds and bends.
Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow
We shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And watch where the chalk-white arrows go
To the place where the sidewalk ends.
Yes we’ll walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And we’ll go where the chalk-white arrows go,
For the children, they mark, and the children, they know
The place where the sidewalk ends.
by Shel Silverstein
The steel mill sky is alive.
The fire breaks white and zigzag
shot on a gun-metal gloaming.
Man is a long time coming.
Man will yet win.
Brother may yet line up with brother:
This old anvil laughs at many broken hammers.
There are men who can’t be bought.
The fireborn are at home in fire.
The stars make no noise,
You can’t hinder the wind from blowing.
Time is a great teacher.
Who can live without hope?
In the darkness with a great bundle of grief
the people march.
In the night, and overhead a shovel of stars for keeps, the people
march:
“Where to? what next?”

I disagree strongly.
Them ain’t bees.
Them is piss-ants.
Yuge difference. YUGE!
They said Biden couldn’t be investigated because he is running for election, but Trump is running too and they investigated him.
Trump got impeached for what Biden did.
But not really.
They failed all the way around and the criminals are STILL committing their crimes.
Can anyone explain how the citizens are better off WITH a gov’t than WITHOUT?
One of Trumps lawyers said the impeachment cost $32,000,000.00 but using my well established “Rule of 8”, where everything the gov’t spends money on costs 8 times the published original cost, the cost was really $256,000,000.00. What do the taxpayers have to show for this financial burden we are expected to bear? I think that burden should be shared among the people that spent that money, not the people that did not. But then, I’m a little unusual in my thinking because I think all spending by everybody should be the same way, that is, if YOU buy it YOU pay for it, and NO, no one gets to spend money on my behalf and against my wishes. When the rules get tougher the people get sneakier.
