“People can be at their most vulnerable, but still tenacious at the same time.” Toni Bernhard
For Justice
Love overflows in perpetual caprices,
while anger escapes my imprisoning geist
and leaks across my world
as watercolour paint bleeding,
a tincture of passion released,
not so injustice,
action forthwith,
a torrent from a wellspring brimming,
an irreproachable love,
a roar for justice bursting.

Beautiful Paul…a loving roar for justice could be just what we need right now when so much and so many injustices happened…

Yes, I feel we’ve regressed from that post WW2 moment, and then the Berlin Wall moment when we had opportunity to build positives into the world, but right now, sigh …

Regression is so hard to fathom. Shouldn’t we know better? Have we learned nothing from the lessons of the past?

Dumber than mud, in our naive childish trust we fell into the hands of political piranhas.

That metaphor capture my attention as well. Anger does tend to bleed into places it doesn’t belong.

Often Justice has no change against passion… sometimes that is a good thing, but often not.
