The Picture (Blogophilia 12.13)

The pictures fill the screen
News crews are arrested
And attempt to suppress
The negative mirror image
Of what we supposedly stand for.

Reprehensible behavior is celebrated
As hell broke luce.
We watch helplessly
Cruelty only humans are capable of.

Would we tempt fate to intervene?
Or be the cowards 
Knowing nothing changes 
Until the time 
When time is no more?

    1. Most cities are like that. They put out the Chamber of Commerce view, when the reality is so much different.

    2. Overall the Twin Cities are still a good place. Neither the Governor or the Mayor of Minneapolis apparently had a plan for what the National Guard should do last night. Hopefully tonight they get a clue. -Dave S

  3. The world is a hot mess of reactions right now. All coming down to two choices. Fear or Love. Praying 🙏🏻 we all choose love and stop the madness. - Christine W.
