SEPTEMBER 2020

September 2020 was a horrible month.

Forest fires torched California and Oregon.

Trump gathered his devotees to maskless rallies and claimed Covid-19 was nothing to worry about as long as you rejected science in favor of the absolute beleif in the Almighty.

Everyday our troops fought in Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, and scores of nations across the globe.

No one in America cares about peace, especially the KKK Front seeking to bring back the the goold old time of complete white supremeacy.

Not this year.

IN September Thar, Jay-Jay and No One visited the Met.

Jacob was easger to view the Jacob Lawrence's STRUGGLE RETROSPECTIVE.

"He refused to sell individual paintings according to what I heard."

Probably true." I read a quote by Jacob Lawrence.

"As I read more of the history of the United States, I gradually began to appreciate not only the struggle and contributions of the Negro people, but also to appreciate the rich and exciting story of America and all of the peoples who emigrated to the ‘New World.’ — Jacob Lawrence, December 1954 letter

A modern man.

There were the Rockaways.

Many people on the beach.

NOne of them wore masks.

I expected to live through all this.

Maybe the Fortune Tellers are dark, but a future is always a breath away from the past.

Dave Henderson, Kate Teale, and I might endup at Higgins Beach.

They didn't bring Italian Sandwiches, but I have a lovely Higgins Beach Sweatshirt.

I saw my first memory underwater at that beach, but the future is blank .

People were leaving the city, befause it wasn't a city anymore.

Just another place in the world to kill time.

My bed isn't on the sidewalk.

I have crashed on the trains.

Sleep Sleep Sleep.

A thing of beauty.

Ga-baGabbah-Hey with Angie.

I miss you long time.

The Void Of War

In the 12th or 13th Century the Achaeans amassed an invasion army to vanquish the City of Troy. The formidable walls of their rival resisted nine years of siege, but finally Ulysses tricked the Trojans with a wooden horse secretly filled with Greek warriors. That night Troy was put to the torch and the the collapse of the great city initiated centuries of chaos throughout Asia Minor.

The USA accomplished the same inglorious result with the fall of Saddam. Iraq survives in anarchy. Syria suffers from a long civil war. Turkey seeks to subjugate the Kurds, and Saudi Arabia wages genocide against the Yemeni, while militants bomb Europe to punish the Western nations for their trespasses against the Muslims of the Levant and elsewhere around the world.

The mercenaries of the Saudis have no problem with bombing civilian targets.

Death and destruction reign supreme.

No one dares speak of peace.

That word is for dangerous to the rulers of this world than an atomic bomb, because with peace comes the end of social injustice.

Peace in our time.
