Ugh, I was at a bar the other day and there was some nut job going on about how it was an inside job, planned, and all that crap. Didn't catch which branch her served in, but he did serve. Said how everyone hated Obama, how he would have waited for Trump to be elected to enlist had he known that would happen, and how 9/11 was an inside job. As if that wasn't bad enough, he also had a unbelievably annoying voice. I had to leave it was so bad.
Some – a poem by Daniel Berrigan
(to the Plowshares 8, with love)
by Daniel Berrigan
Some stood up once, and sat down.
Some walked a mile, and walked away.
Some stood up twice, then sat down.
“It’s too much,†they cried.
Some walked two miles, then walked away.
“I’ve had it,†they cried,
Some stood and stood and stood.
They were taken for fools,
they were taken for being taken in.
Some walked and walked and walked –
they walked the earth,
they walked the waters,
they walked the air.
“Why do you stand?†they were asked, and
“Why do you walk?â€
“Because of the children,†they said, and
“Because of the heart, and
“Because of the bread,â€
“Because the cause is
the heart’s beat, and
the chldren born, and
the risen bread.â€
