It was dark, not very cold and while looking out the window I spied the moon and the clouds involved in a relationship with the wind. So I went out with my camera and tripod. I selected a couple screenshots (the photos included) from the results and you can see what the camera saw. I was happy with the way the video came out.
I came across this news report on RT news after making the image above. It's difficult to project a positive outcome from societies present trajectory. Peace and well being are not the result of wars and all our laws cannot bring about the love for our fellowman which will bring about peace. Unfortunately what we do have is a multitude of laws and wars and a paupers pouch of peace and love. If a good portion of us don't wise up soon this earth is not going to be worth living on. Then what are we going to do? Have you thought about what is being done right before our eyes? Can you come up with a good reason to do this to our children and the future?
Wall Street can come up with a reason, that reason is named 'profit'. It's not a good reason but it's the only reason that has been put forth that passes the 'bullshit' test. But that is not the story you're told.
A reasonable approach to this problem would include the recognition that 17 years of war have not brought peace and that continuing the wars we've started will not bring peace and that we must stop fighting these unjust and undeclared wars for profit. Why haven't the war-makers given a thought to making a living from peace rather than war? We might want to consider the idea of giving peace a chance.

"The Death Of Love" and "Faces" are two poems I wrote about what I saw happening. I was distraught over the program of exporting endless war and endless misery. The horror of this policy goes beyond reason. Years ago I wrote a poem titled "The Warlords" This video on the topic of the attempted coup against FDR appears to answer the question asked in the The Warlords. It may also explain the Trump Administrations fear of immigrants. I find myself thinking: "Can Trump's malicious, divisive nationalism cause the kind of behavior seen in the video"?
The Warlords
After reading Du Fu, “Advent of Spring”
The warriors have ruled
from time immemorial.
They have come and gone and come again
time after time:
nations, princes, and kings one after another
building on the pile of corpses
stacked beneath their feet.
None have served the people honestly.
Who has given them control?
Where have they come from?
Will they ever leave us alone
to raise our families
and die in our own beds
with our children by our side?
Their grip is on our neck
and they force us
to our grave
in their search for
others to plunder.
They cannot live without war;
it is their meat and drink
as ours is the hearth
and the embrace of our lovers.
They declare those who cry for
peace and complain of war
‘enemies of the state’
and seek to silence them
while we the people are victims
of their lust
and made to pay for their
desires to be satisfied.
Will they ever leave us alone
to raise our families
and die in our own beds
with our children by our side?

It only takes a generation
for politicians with eyes for war
to bring forgetfulness upon the people
who wanted war no more.
I made the poster, below, yesterday about what I see happening presently. Denying immigration, especially, at this time a year is a slap in the face to American history by this Administration. Instead of sending troops, what should have been done was to have sent personnel to process the refugees and give then a Thanksgiving welcome. With that in mind it only makes sense that Thanksgiving be cancelled this year.
Rights are meant to be used the way you use muscles.
You need to use your rights everyday or run the risk of losing them.
