Obamaphoria - how
the American Dream
evolves
pockets of jubilant
people having placed their bet
on the President Elect
Barack Obama
pack for the inauguration
pilgrimage
millions have cashed in on this
dose of hope, this promise
of change, this lift from
the malaise of war, treachery,
manipulation and greed.
we'd been looking for a hero
some compassion - and a brain bigger
than the last man in charge
a shift in vibration -
away from the self defeating
nature of fear and manipulation
back to progressive
active participation
in the making of a respected
civilization.

Vote for Heal a Woman Heal a Nation Inc.
Chase is having a competition to divide 5,000,000 amongst 100 community based non-profits. I've voted for Heal A Woman Heal a Nation Inc. Baltimore City Non profit organization which works to give women the tools they need to be empowered to have happy healthier lives. The founders started the organization right out of college, have sponsored 5 highly successful conferences and monthly workshop events. They deal with a variety of topics, from health care, to financial literacy. Today is the last day to cast your vote so I hope you'll take the time to vote for them. Peace and Blessing to all in the this season of light-celebrating Hanukkah, Christmas, Solstice, Kwanzaa.

Winter of your content
is amazing
from somewhere not America.
It hurt you too these
times passed so hard
like leather on bleeding backs
and no end, for there is no pity
in these men.
So why must we pity now
because you have chosen
another man
another kind of symbol
when what you need is not pity
but silence to your shouts
and an end to vile echoes.
I like your poetry so I wrote quickly here to send you our sense of waiting and seeing. It is not a probation. You are America after all and no one can judge you. You are a vacuum that creates its own reality. But not really in the end. But maybe. You can kill us all with one red button. It would take us longer to do that. But we dont want to so we dont have buttons. And so we are different I guess. You Americans and we Swiss.
