I AM ANTI-TRUMP

I have been since the first time he announced he was running in the 2016 Presidential race.

Aside from the fact that I never really liked him, his TV shows, his attacks on Rosie O’Donnell, his comments about how “great” he is … I never liked the guy.

This country is now at a decisive moment in time.

He’s the proverbial “bull in the china shop“.

I can’t understand the thinking process of his followers.

Granted, we are all sick of the current two party system. Mostly we are sick and tired of the inaction of the elected officials since President Obama was elected.

It’s been eight years of “nothing”.

No significant legislation has been passed during this time.

It’s been eight years of total obstruction and corruption at many levels.

However, choosing this man is like cutting your nose to spite your face.

“Cutting off the nose to spite the face” is an expression used to describe a needlessly self-destructive over-reaction to a problem.

I am an American citizen.

I thought more of America.

I thought more about it’s people. I expect more.

I hope I’m not proven wrong.

MADE IN PUERTO RICO

A love poem dedicated to my country, Puerto Rico

I sing the blues as I refuse
to accept your demise,
thinking instead my country is
in a dormant state soon to awaken,
at the rooster’s call as always,
refreshed and spirited.
I speak of my Puerto Rico,
my love, my origin of being,
the source of memory and dreams
and all matter of things.
These words might be deemed
clichés were they not true —
true to my soul and marrow.

I sing the blues as I refuse
to accept you’ve gone too far
from home to find your way back.
My country, my island, my barrio
will return to her rightful place,
and call out for her children
spread thin throughout stranger’s lands.

I sing the blues as I refuse
to accept words which attribute
my intellect or beauty to another race
and remind you I am not up for adoption.
This self originated and renews itself,
despite travel to faraway places
and educations in Spanish and English
and diasporic fragmentation,
from one source —
the country of my origin from which
genius and virtuosity was born before.
You say I look, seem, could be, speak as though and
I say no, I could not be anything but
Puerto Rican.

A dear blogger friend taught me this concept.

~IN HER OWN WORDS~

“IOTD” is image of the day, a concept I came up with. I teach visual meditative therapy – or in easy terms – a mini mental holiday. For some people it is very difficult for them to get their image right. I post an image a day for people to use in their mini mental vacay. Some are serious, some are silly, and some are just beautiful!”
