How Much?
Expected to take; do we break?

So much so
So much fear
So how low?
It’s not clear

Why is it so?
Hate rules
Love to sow
Angry fools

Can’t escape
Face head on
Societal fate
Humanity torn

Show up now
Stand up all
Rights vowed
Time to howl!

America’s past fight against Nazis and sacrifice.

Visited WW2 American cemetery in Luxembourg, 5,000+ buried from Battle of Bulge (10,000+ Americans died), last major WW2 battle, to defeat Nazis.

Excuse sniffling in video, couldn’t prepare myself, still shaking… compounding my emotions, standing there in upmost humbleness, thanks, and we have a fascist Nazi sympathizer and apparent holocaust denier in our WH.

We the People; these past of us gave ultimate sacrifice to defeat evil fascism.

"We The People" remember to VOTE!
Verify your registration; make a plan; VOTE!

Empower yourself; VOTE!

It's not cliche, not meaningless.
We have collective power.
First 3x words Constitution defines it,
"We The People... ." 🇺🇸

This election, these (or any) chaotic times gives me a lot of pause (I know I'm not alone), resulting in inspired reflection to reconfirm, stripped down, to what it is all about, important.

If I may, a true story, in self-righteous undisciplined short prose...

"Upright"
[Be true to self]

"The shoes we wear
Any thoughts, care?
Function, Fashion?
Avoid a distraction?

The shoes we wear
Neither here, there
Become us, we see
Traits emerge, just be

The shoes we wear
Always a trusted pair
Sure-a-foot and true
Fix it in honest shoes."
