here’s one thing they don’t know about and that’s non-violence. At the risk of sounding too 60’s, I won’t acknowledge the source of that quote. But it’s true.
Even this progressive miracle called Obama: he continues to bomb Afghanistan and plans a military “surge” there.
But the Right is something else. It is populated by a humorless culture of death and violence, where even saving fetuses is a motive for revulsion and murder. In its terror of losing control and money, it plans again to use the same smear tactics it used on Clinton to fire up its bitter base of discontents.
The same unnamed 60’s source recommended the use of humor and love against them. In those days this ploy rapidly degenerated into ineffectual “flower power”, but in essence it was the correct approach. “They” have an insurmountable power of physical coercion, and those who try to fight fire with fire end up with the same distorted faces of hate that their opponents have. Just look at the twisted portraits of all those proponents of asymmetrical war, armed resistance movements, and military-based revolutions.
It is time to raise a critical mirror where the violent can see the reflections of their own grimaces, and open windows where fresh air, health, and empathetic caring begin to be more attractive than faux-heroic, Rambo-esque posturing against invented enemies.
So….
Here, today is e e comings
i have found what you are like
i have found what you are like
the rain,
(Who feathers frightened fields
with the superior dust-of-sleep. wields
easily the pale club of the wind
and swirled justly souls of flower strike
the air in utterable coolness
deeds of green thrilling light
with thinned
newfragile yellows
lurch and.press
-in the woods
which
stutter
and
sing
And the coolness of your smile is
stirringofbirds between my arms;but
i should rather than anything
have(almost when hugeness will shut
quietly)almost,
your kiss
