Reflection on the car you bought
The past election season people voted for change. Not sure what change they wanted but surely they wanted a change in their circumstances.
Enter Donald Duck, quack-quack, to deliver, to solve and change your circumstances, for the better. And you responded positively to the used car salesman pitch and brought into the American car he was selling, and the used car salesman became the president.
Politicians by definition are that, used car salesman, looking for their own interest and if you are lucky you may find a few to the contrary; no different than the one true friend that you have in your life, which could be a myth, that you fervently hold on to.
Historically going back as far as 1988, more than 25 years we had two republican and two democratic presidents minus the current one. Whatever your party affiliation the fact is, each time a republican president came to power, things deteriorated financially for the common man and every time a democratic president came in, and you can argue all you want about it but things improved financially for the common man from the immediate past when someone else was in power. The common man had more jobs each time, and history has a habit of repeating itself.
But this time history will repeat brutally and all the signs are out there but you have a choice. It is time to recognize facts irrespective of your party affiliations on what is happening around you and how your basic human values and the values that you thought your country stood for is getting trampled on. How none of this is going to get jobs back or create jobs. The same can be said about the healthcare legislation.
Time to rise up and make a difference in what kind of American car you are going to buy and what kind of used car salesman you are going to buy it from.
You may be willing to give the used car salesman a chance if you can get the car you want, at the price you want it for.

MAGA
MAGA
The mantra,
Make America great again !
A slogan so often repeated...
In one mans presidential campaign.
But which America will be great again ?
Will it be American white ?
Or will it be American black ?
Or was it a gimmick, and mere sound bytes.
But Americans responded.
The Americans with no or low paying jobs.
The Americans with medium or high paying jobs.
Everyone, including businesses, who the country and its people robs.
However the response was not even.
The leaders responded; the dumb and the bright.
And then people followed their leaders,
Whether left or right.
Is this man and his cronies, Good or Bad ?
Will he like his businesses, get the country bankrupt ?
Are the cabinet he selected to help him win,
Only rich and corrupt ?
A question only time will tell...
After 8 years a shoe grows old.
Even if it serves its purpose and is fine.
It is thrown away and exchanged,
People hopeful and excited about a new shine.

When God met Allah
When God met Allah
It was a Friday
The last Friday
Of the month
When God met Allah
In his Saudi Arabian Villa
In case you are wondering
They meet every other month at the Villa
To talk, to hob nob
About world affairs
To find a solution or just opinion shares
And then every other month
They meet on a Sunday at the Vatican
Just so the whole meeting
Has a semblance of fairness
For each other's awareness
This Friday they were discussing
The US election
And what it means for
World peace, Global warming etc
That both have been striving very hard for to fix
And they concluded
That half the people don't care
At least they voted that way anyway
Or they could be excused since they were fooled only once
They took a look at the world trouble spots
Middle East, Europe , America - North and South and Asia
And decided they needed a break
They needed to gulp a drink perhaps with a steak
They went to a bar in Australia
God ordered wine
Allah water borrowed
To drown their sorrows
They wondered what 2017 will bring
And together they decided to stop global warming
People will be killing each other anyways
So Why this extra harming

The Moment
The Moment
comes a moment in your life
not once but perhaps several
when you feel uplifted
and have no cares, no worries
nothing to hold you down
pure uplifting thoughts fill your soul
it can happen anytime
but perhaps an atmosphere
of serenity, of quiet is most conducive
when the soul seems to rise
and uplifting thoughts fill you up
you are awash in a white light of hope
you see your wish for world peace
propagating
you see your wish to not to have a hungry soul
in this world being fulfilled
the world is beautiful
the poetry flows
everything is good
everybody is good
people are happy
and there is a burst of bright light
encompassing you
radiating from you
overwhelming you
yet you are distinctly aware of its presence

The Political Ballad ?
The Political Ballad ?
Up from the meadows rich with cash,
Clear in the cool November dash,
The clustered spires of Washington
Got ready to elect some corrupt trash.
On that pleasant morn of the late fall
When Trump marched over the mountain wall
Fifty one flags with their silver stars,
Fifty one flags with their crimson bars,
Flapped in the morning wind: the sun
Of noon looked down, and saw not one.
Up rose old Hillary then,
Bowed with her fourscore years and ten;
Bravest of all in Washington,
She took up the flag the men hauled down;
In her attic window the staff she set,
To show that one heart was loyal yet.
Up the street came the rebel tread,
Donald Trump riding ahead.
Under his slouched hat left and right
He glanced: the old flag met his sight.
“Halt!”— the dust-brown ranks stood fast.
“Liar!”— out blazed the media-blast.
It shivered the TV, pane and sash;
It rent the banner with seam and gash.
Quick, as it fell, from the broken staff
Dame Hillary snatched the silken scarf;
She leaned far out on the window-sill,
And shook it forth with a royal will.
“Shoot, if you must, this old gray head,
But spare your country’s flag,” she said.
A shade of sadness, a blush of shame,
you thought Over the face of the leader came;
The nobler nature within him stirred
To life at that woman’s deed and word:
“Who touches a hair of yon gray head
Lives like my dog! March on!” he said.
All day long through Washington
Sounded the tread of everyone:
All day long that free flag tost
Over the heads of the rebel host.
Ever its torn folds rose and fell
On the loyal winds that loved it well;
And through the hill-gaps sunset light
Shone over it with a warm good-night.
Hillary's work is o’er,
And the Rebel rides on his raids no more.
Honor to her! and let a tear
Fall, for her sake, on Trump's bier.
Over Hillary's grave
Flag of Freedom and Union, wave!
Peace and order and beauty draw
Round thy symbol of light and law;
And ever the stars above look down
On thy stars below in Washington!

Next up - Halloween
So very soon Halloween will be here and once again some of us will be thinking. Are ghosts for real? Has anyone really seen a ghost.
If people all over the world over generations tell stories about something repeatedly, does that mean that there is a modicum of truth in it or are they delusional.
Ghosts have haunted us forever and for some of us never. You wonder why that would be. The laws of nature affect all of us equally. Gravity, Newton’s other laws but why would the ghostly laws not affect all of us equally.
Well this Halloween season make sure you leave a lot of candy for the kids in your neighborhood. In case you don't they may come back to haunt you. Happy Halloween

the characters - The Eleven Commandments ? from a naked unshackled mind
Characters
Aaron – A smart and good-looking man and Brother of Moses. He is quick thinking, has the gift of the gab, and would articulate what Moses could not articulate. He also possessed a rod, a wooden stick that could work miracles. Alternately, he used it to herd sheep.
Miriam – Sister of Moses. A strong independent and fiery woman. The jury is still out on whom she is married to. Is it Hur or Caleb? She used the timbrel or tambourine when dancing.
Hur – Friend of Aaron and Moses. The jury is still out on whether he is the Husband or son of Miriam. A hard working, strong man always in his work overalls. He has a thing for Miriam.
Moses – A chubby, plump bald nice guy. God or someone important handed him the commandments. These commandments are followed by some of the leading religions of the world in some shape, form, or other. He too possessed a rod, a wooden stick just like Aaron. Nobody living has seen him perform any miracles with the shaft so far though.
Arron – All star American Football quarterback looking for answers on life’s important questions.
Luciella – On again, off again Mayan girlfriend of Arron. An intelligent, compassionate, curious woman exploring her sexuality. She is passionate in her beliefs. She wears large glasses and has a very loud voice.
Arun – Short name of an Indo-American friend of Arron. Nerd. A logophile, he is the youngest Winner of both the national spelling bee contest and jeopardy.
Chen - Short name of a Chinese American, Buddhist friend of Arron. Nerd. Multiple times Winner of Jeopardy.

The Elections
The Elections
It comes like clockwork
Every four years
Promises and then four years later
Broken Promises
Yet we believe
Because we want to believe
In good things
In Positive things, in something or someone
Think back
How many of the negative things
Do you remember
That happened in your past
Have you wondered why
You dont remember them
Remembering them hurts, so consciously or subconsciouly
You wipe them from your memory
Hillary or Trump
It's the same
Same coin
two sides
Doesn't matter who wins
But Promises will be made
And then
Promises will be broken
Have you wondered why
People fight to win elections
How many really fight to change
Your life or mine
Yet on election day
many of us will go
and cast a ballot
In the hope that the election will change our lives
It comes like clockwork

Chapter 0 in a cockney accent..:-)
The Pharaoh ov Egypt, Thutmose II awer i' could be Amenhotep II awer Ramses II was ge'in' in-creasingly tired ov da Jews. Unlike da rest ov da subjects in da kingdom, they was a smart lot an' was always demandin' mawer as smart people usually do. The ones who was farmers would wan' a be'er price fer their crop; da ones who was involved in tannery was charg-in' an arm an' a leg fer tannin' ov skins an' 'ides an' so on. The smartest ones moved in'er da money lendin' business as they continue ter even today.
The Pharaoh could not kick 'em aaaht ov da coun'ry as then 'e would be branded anti-Semitic an' 'is assets could be frozen by da FOII (friends ov Israel In'ernashunal) awer some coalishun aligned against anti-Semitism. He dis-liked da fact what 'is 'ands was tied an' what deese people was ge'in' large in number an' paaahrful. He 'ad ter do something. Historically, people like 'im 'ad ter do somethin' when peo-ple uvver van 'im, became mawer paaahrful an' successful.
To top it, da Jews was 'umble, peace lovin' people 'owever, in mawer recen' times there was da case ov da killin' ov Yitzhak Rabin, da Is-raeli Premier, by a Jewish radical usin' da din rodef, law ov da pursuer, as da excuse. There was uvver shooting, skirmishes wiv Palestini-ans resultin' in dead people; 'owever, da din rodef law really applied there since da Palestin-ians always attacked first, every single time an' da Jews was only defending. At least what is what da Jews 'ave claimed.
Thuff da perpetrator ov Rabin’s assassinashun is in jail, i' is amazin' 'ow 'e 'ad da paaahr ter bowl over a married bird wiv faaahr kids ter leave 'er 'usband ter marry 'im.
