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?”

Effin eh from Vancouver Canada.
I am SO down with that!!!!!
One of the magnificent things about MY President, DJT, is that he has exposed and continues to expose the so-called Progressives as the very worst POS to ever exist in a free nation. And he enjoys doing it.
His posts are offensive to the Left but he’s usually spot on, their behavior over exposes their mental illness and its rash marxist desires and he’s got a great sense of humor….does not give a flip about how butt hurt the Leftist trash becomes.
I still can’t bring myself to be a Trump *fan* exactly. But I’m impressed with the way he’s dealt with all the bullshit that’s been heaped his way since … sometime back in 2015.
And even if I weren’t, the democrats and their constant ranting – and especially the 2020 candidates with their incessant totalitarian “plans” to Make America More Like California – are the best advertisements for Four More Years he could hope for.
