Politics for Poets

Ah, melting snow and too much humidity!

🍀 What more could we want then luck? Hard work helps. Persistence. Purpose. A sense that things get better if we place truth in the thoughts of them. The expectation of communal and unspoken correct society.

well . . .

I think I've blogged enough today.

"I'm all blogged out."

~ OK Now.

Praise God! awful first novel lines:

OK, I've actually got somewhere to go.

how hard is it to use these new symbols in your stuff? Well, first you need to know that they exist. Second, you can just cut and paste them.

🌀 🌁 🌂 🌃 🌄 🌅 🌆 🌇 🌈 🌉 🌊 🌋 🌌 🌍 🌎 🌏 🌐 🌑 🌒 🌓 🌔 🌕 🌖 🌗 🌘 🌙 🌚 🌛 🌜 🌝 🌞 🌟 🌠

I've got a message for . . . Mr Bash (an alias for someone else). Mr Bash, if I use brace expansion with the dot-dot idiom, ie like this:

echo -e {🌃..🌅}{🌍..🌏}{🌑..🌚}" "

why does that not work when

echo -e {🌃,🌄,🌅}{🌍,🌎,🌏}{🌑,🌒,🌓,🌔,🌕,🌖,🌗,🌘,🌙,🌚}" "

will? Maybe I've not ordered the elements properly. Well that little snippit doesn't work that well but t

The following poem is fresh, whipped up, off the cuff.

  

  Oh Steve
   What would you write
    if you were free to write
      about whatever you feel
          is right?
          
    The catalog of liars
      and opportunistic buyers
        of various flyers
           of a false point, a lie.
           
     How dapper you are
        just being yourself
          so much better 
            that you try so hard.
            
   We need you.
     We love you.
       We want you
        we love you
         we want you
          to be OK
          
   and even the people who you write about
     who we can all just tell are not well
      But not quite destined for hell.
      


  Praise God!

🖑🖐He's doing his jazz hands again.
 send the ambassador
   to the outsiders lounge
 and tell all the guests
   that it's their turn to scrounge.
 eccentric leaders
  and their expensive designs
   who dares to tell them
      when their cargoes hit mines?
    So he's doing his jazz hands again.
  who dares tell him?
      ah, but music
    and dancing
     the scent 
 of expensive
 ointments and lotions
       and the sound of the rain
   electric
 who dares tell
      that the party might end?
  Who will explain this to the ambassador?

Wake up!

Wake up!

Wake up!
