To Donald Trump

You don't need a wall at the Mexican border

There's already a wall there

In people's hearts

That's the strongest wall their is

And people build them willingly

Laying brick by brick themselves

(You can decide if fear ruins your life

One piece of stone at a time)

And so you give them the materials

(News, anecdotes, trauma; real or imagined)

And they run with it

But it doesn't have to be this way

Instead of building walls

You could use those exact same materials

To build bridges instead

Because let's all be really serious here

No matter who comes in

Hillary, Donald, Ronald McDonald

They will not be helping us build bridges

Only more walls

(And stop with  the bs foreign policy crap; yes it's important to help stabilize everyone's economy to some degree even if it is through or it seems to be with lies and manipulation. Why proclaim a country and leave it to be impoverished and half abandoned with services; like medical one?  Why rob a country of its natural resources paying the wrong people the wrong money/arms?  Why do we have such a need to control other countries politics and politicians (do we fear more Kim Jong-un's?). Why wouldn't counties hate us?  We proclaim oh so boastingly to be the best country on earth and we have an uncultured bunch of wealthy autonauts running the country; not truly investing in anything that counts in this country; good jobs, affordable and good, covers-everything healthcare, much better and much cheaper education options, did I mention good jobs with good benefits like paid maternity/paternity, vacation mandated at least 6weeks paid-defaulted if not taken. Not taking care our one and only planetary host right now; by being truly good stewards. WE ARE LAUGHABLE. Our children don't know global politics, global customs, global anything....so rah rah America they can't see beyond heir own noses. Even when they themselves hate the US; they are no better people. They are not people that always genuinely speak from their hearts. Some are, maybe a whole lot aren't though.  lol. Don't be scared. With more military stations around the world than most countries have cities and most rural towns have street lights we aren't getting overtaken anytime soon. We are a powerhouse; even with Russia leading the cyber war, the Middle East and its ilk being supplied with massive weaponry and somehow getting supplied with nerve gasses and other deadly biochemical weapons. North Korea testing atomic bombs...........)


 It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood......won't you be my neighbor?-Mr. Robinson

Peace Train - Cat Stevens version is quintessential of course but I have to give a very favorable nod to the gorgeous harmonizing vocals of Yusuf Islam's version.

It's not a political problem. It's not a global problem. It is a spiritual problem. . It's an individual's stance. When we all open our hearts to each other and build those bridges for ourselves; politics will have no choice but to follow suit. Let's all stop being so fucking scared. Could we?  Let's all stop letting life stress us out?  It isn't worth it. You have one go at this thing called life. This is it people. No dress rehearsals. No do-overs. Go forth and be merry. Go forth and be loving. Go forth and be peace.  Go forth and be with God.
