Reflective multicolored pearls bounce skyward
Shimmering snow banks rejoice
Winter’s beauty arrives
A new beginning; January 2, 2016
Quietude in our small town
Five days since a drug bust
It could be worse.
Priests and preachers ruminate hopeful themes
This year will be better than last
Phone rings – our daughter calls: let the good times roll.
Politicians and pundits recover from hangovers.
College bands, cheerleaders: cheer for the home team.
Hope there is hope/
I scan Word press: clever writers probe the paranormal
Smiling, all is well.
Wearing my German heritage is a badge of honor
On time, precise, exact, we block out WWII.
Never again- a phrase oft repeated in our childhood.
Yes, shame runs through generations.
Ah, but this is 2016…
And then !! A bold headline jumps off the internet.
Turkey’s president “ Hitler had some good ideas”.
He brought organizational skills to government.
Yes, he designed the holocaust.
US government outrage – none
US media outrage – none
Presidential reaction – none
Neville Chamberlin lives.
Precursors of evil and death are here
We profess “ Never Again”
Bull Shit – the ghosts of 1939 are alive and well.
