As I sit comfortably, I wonder what thoughts would arise in my mind in this particular moment of serenity on my couch? Would the ‘crease’ of information cast a shadow over which thought would rule in that moment? Is that the most important ‘concern’ that must be addressed, or that thought that would make humanity lose ‘decency’ and ‘order’ rule the debate?
It is long known that Black people make calculations based on spiritual clarity for all given situations. Now the keys to this discernment was taught to all of us long ago in the ‘fold’. The ‘fold’ is the place, the energy, where the two choices lie. The barrier between the ‘fold’ is the darkness that separates called the ‘crease’. As Black people, we don’t necessarily chose the option that is free of ‘shadow’. Black people choose wisely between the two choices available because making no choice is worse.
So, we use a ‘pick’ to break the surface to know what’s underneath, or we use a ‘shovel’ to remove the debris and clutter that hides the ‘purpose’ beneath.
Issue 5: The Meddlesome Kid that Always Needs to be Watched
Tell me something and I don’t want you to laugh or think it is ‘cute’. Many of us know that one friend in life that always got into trouble. In school. Making a scene in a restaurant. Or just plain being in the way when somebody is trying to pass along their way on the sidewalk. Donald J. Trump is that mischievous kid that never got that ‘one’ whooping that he didn’t want again.
You know the fire alarms set along the walls in the hallways of an office building or a hospital? Donald J. Trump is the kind of person that goes down the hall pulling the fire alarms. Do you know the emergency brakes on a passenger train? Donald J. Trump would purposefully pull the emergency brake just to see the other passengers thrown out of their seats or off their feet. Passengers spilling their dinners all over themselves and each other.
Donald J. Trump is the child riding in your car that intentionally knocks the gear shift into neutral. Just to cause a stir because everybody is just enjoying the ride biding the time until they reach their destination. Donald J. Trump doesn’t care about not rocking the boat. Donald J. Trump doesn’t care that health insurance keeps people steady on their feet. Donald J. Trump didn’t care what would negatively transpire if he started a major war in the Middle East. What it would do to the economy of not just America, but to the world!? Donald J. Trump is just a stupid ass meddlesome child that thinks he’s smarter than anyone else in the room. That’s all DJT is!
Remember when you got a boo-boo and your parents told you to stop picking at it? Donald J. Trump doesn’t give a dam! Donald J. Trump is the embodiment of a ‘PICK’. Do you know who is the ‘SHOVEL’? We are. Americans are the ‘shovel’ even when I didn’t vote for him I’m still responsible for shoveling all the ‘SHIT’ Donald J. Trump creates in America and around the world on a daily basis!
Yeah right? Nobody can stop him. You wanna bet? A solid Democratic Congress can! I mean a solid Democratic Party Congress in major numbers can finally check this buffoonish man, Donald J. Trump, before he wrecks the world!
Keep fighting everybody. We still got a long way to go. Again! Do not worry about tomorrow. Today is all that matters! Do everything you can today and get a good night sleep. When the next day arrives; strap back on your clothes and shoes and get back to doing what it takes.
Democrats will bring a ‘check and balance’ to this man, Donald J. Trump, the Republican Party has never seen before in their lives!
Donald J. Trump won’t be pulling anymore fire alarms in buildings and brakes on trains.
Be well.
P.S. Even that field of corn grows up level. It is always an illegitimate intervention that disrupts progress.
