Our Fascist Friends - Hard to Swallow
Many warn
of the collapse
economic
shutdown
to extract
the breath
from the living
Everyone
is afraid
of something
or someone
(fear nothing
but
fear itself)
Humility
becomes scarce
arrogance
reigns
we all suck
the same air
our planet
is hot
and fragile
as our own
life is...
U.S
not a free country
many use
the word
fascism
when they
look toward Washington
U.S. supports
fascism in
Ukraine
Japan
Germany
Honduras
Saudi Arabia
Bahrain
South Korea
Libya
Afghanistan
Iraq
Israel
Australia
Philippines
United Kingdom
and many
more...
Washington
never apologizes
for anything
never admits
when wrong
It gets
stuck in the throat
goes down hard
truth
always difficult
to swallow
At a meeting in Langley on Whidbey Island, WA Jan 17, 2015 with CONgressman Rick Larsen a young Ukrainian man who now lives on Whidbey Island spoke out about human rights abuse in the Ukraine. His question was how could the United States ignore the human rights abuse by the Ukrainian government against their own people NOT Russia? He specifically mentioned Petro Poroshenko, one of Ukraine's richest men, "The Chocolate King". I had respect for this man having the courage to speak the truth. Larsen blew him off stating he could not see the Ukrainian government attacking its people. Had hoped to speak to this young man but he left before the meeting was over.
ReplyDeleteWas Larsen marginalizing him to use the excuse of Russia the evil empire to expand the destruction by the U. S. Navy of Whidbey Island and the UNESCO Heritage site the Olympic National Forest. We don’t want to live in an armed camp the Pacific Northwest needs protection from the Department of Destruction (DoD).
