A Call to All Educators

Our leaders
are mentally
a million miles away
and so high above
our glass ceiling.
Amazing we get through the day
as our professional lives
they are stealing.
We haven't got much dignity left,
through the halls,
watch us,
as we shuffle our feet.
The "One" who we helped make History
deems us a failure
Fake Numbers
we do not meet.

Are you angry enough......now?

Meet me in the street.

Our Time of Doubt and Paranoia: A Mindless Rant

Seeing that I work with youth for my occupation, I'm trying not to turn into the typical jaded "older" person who sees society for what it really is:

Falling Apart At the Seams.

I'm trying to establish a healthy balance of optimism along with my newly found distrust of government ( and the Democratic party), and disappointment with society's lack of intellectual values and secular common sense.

I stress about work. I feel so lucky to have a job, especially in my field, that I obsess about it. I obsess about every minute little detail. I check, and double check. I write lists when I come home, of little insignificant "to - do's" that no one would probably even notice. But I can't leave any room for error. I have to keep my head down and keep my cog a coggin'.

This economy is stressful. Its a not a good time for you if you have OCD or Anxiety disorders. Your either going to have to up your dosage, or re-evaluate your political leaders.

I choose the latter.

I feel that I dont have a party to belong to anymore. Democrats and Republicans merge and blend, and all those hues, when mixed together, become the shade of vomit. McCain's wife is out making posters to promote Gay marriage. Yeah, really....that was my reaction too.

I'm all for that, but McCain's wife? Thats shameful. Its shameful that a Republican is stealing the little thunder Dems had....which SHOULD be action, or at least a fighting stance. At least some "fighting" words...come on...jesus. Grow some balls. If McCain's wife can do it, you can too, you Pussy party.....you "Sleeping with Enemy" party.

I'm thinking about officially changing to "Independent" for voting purposes. I can't fully identify with words alone. I need action. Political Action that leads to serious reform which helps all us underdogs of various sorts.

We need more than hope.

"We live in a political world
Where courage is a thing of the past,
Houses are haunted, children are unwanted,
The next day could be your last." - Bob Dylan, from Political World




Ha, and Dylan said he ain't no protest song writer.
