Where the Sidewalk Ends
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.

The People Yes
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?”

Kansas was underrated. Somehow they got lumped in with arena rock bands. But the critics’ disdain was really just an early manifestation of the coastal elites’ contempt for flyover country and anything cultural that it produced.
Sorry about that. Moved Kansas to the next post up. Didn’t want to duplicate.
The only thing you can count of from the american communists is the enormous volume of their lies.
Really, lying is the base of their entire operation, and that includes all the siblings like deceptions, double talk, misspeaks, diversions, false accusations, and all around fakeness.
They, the american communists, are a disadvantage to others so if you were the king of the world what would you do with them?
Mass murder?
Caged?
Banished to an island 5000 miles away with satellite surveillance and no supplies?
Or just cut them off from ALL gov’t services, tax them at double the normal rate, and prevent them from voting and possessing blades and firearms?
I tell young people that when they were born in America they hit the jackpot. It is up to them what they do with the winnings. President Trump keeps making that jackpot bigger.
