Thoughts on poetry.

Writing poetry especially poetry is very rewarding.  I enjoy the process as well.  Unlike prose it has a greater challenge to it. There are some very confidently written poems, but many cause me to push muscles around in my head.  It feels good to surprise myself by doing this.  The result can feel as real as a painting in its effect on my imagination.  Is my poetry mostly symbolism?  I don't know.  A lot depends on how awesomely cool I think the poem is when I read it over.  Honestly I believe poetry writing will spread as more quality modern examples of poetry are created.  So poets out there get cracking.

I think the current structure of Europe, especially the EU will not continue for long.

I can't tell you which country is likely at fault.  I read something gloomy sounding over a year ago and knew that this is way to optimistic and not common sense.

This is one bloggers opinion.

Eating meat does not have a connection with animal torture.

But if a vegan insists that I love to torture animals then I will tell them they are cruel to vegetables.  We can become great enemies and canabilize eachother.  What a deal!

Inside a kitchen sink..

Inside a person's mind
Maybe a deep dark drain
Or a magical paridise
In an old ten place
A den for sacrifice
Back to zero almost
Getting lost is no fun
Deeply lost in a moan
Duel of opposing views.

At forty miles per hour
Tears fall nowhere
No hole anywhere
Just Bill Hole
With points
On pointy black shoes
A starry night arrives
Just say hi
Say hi to him
Hi.

Being a singer must be great..

You don't have to remember to brush your teeth and still be popular.

Hundreds of Black Christian Leaders Arrive in Israel Stand for Israel | November 4, 2026 Pastors Delegation - Western Wall_28.Photo: Buksa Digital Ltd. The Unfinished Business Pilgrimage is an initiative established by the Black Christian Leaders Council on Israel Relations that will bring 500 representatives to Israel to visit biblical sites, meet with victims of the October 7, 2023, attacks, and show their support for the Holy Land and the Jewish people. The pilgrimage also honors Martin Luther King Jr.’s planned trip to Israel in the late 1960s, which never took place because of his assassination. The Times of Israel reports that hundreds of representatives have already arrived, with more expected later this week. There is a “mountain of support rising from the Black church,” says Pastor Michael A. Stevens, Sr. The leaders of the pilgrimage present gifts to victims of the Hamas-led October 7, 2023, massacre, including freed hostage Elkana Bohbot; Hila Abir, whose brother Lotan was murdered at the Nova music festival; and Daniel Lischinsky, whose son Yaron was murdered alongside his fiancée Sarah Milgrim at an Israeli embassy event in Washington, DC. Ther rest of the participants arrive tomorrow, and will visit biblical sites across the country, as well as the site of the Nova massacre. Steven says that Jewish and Black Americans had a tradition of coming together to “establish what was right, and to set the tone for the nation and for the world.” “If anyone should stand with our Jewish brothers and sisters, it ought to be African Americans, it ought to be Africans,” he continues. Stevens also says the mission’s main objectives are to raise awareness of rising anti-Semitism around the world and build bridges between Black Christian leaders and the Jewish people. The Fellowship is proud to be part of this mission, with Senior Director of Outreach Pastor Roger Cheeks having helped establish the Black Christian Leaders Council on Israel Relations earlier this year. Meanwhile, both the U.S. and Israel are experiencing political developments following their respective elections. In the U.S., the Democratic Party gained control of both the Senate and the House of Representatives in the midterm elections. In Israel, President Isaac Herzog has received the results and begun consultations to determine who will receive the mandate to form the next government. He also reiterated the importance of avoiding a second election.
