Here we are in the middle of our lives.
Somewhere someone is reading a book,
Quietly, deep in thought, pages are turning
In a peaceful place cut off from the world.
It is early morning, it is late in the day.
An old woman is slowly walking to church,
Her husband dead eight aching years,
And though they never got along in life,
She’s wondering what has become of him,
Where, out of this dream, he has gone.
It is early morning, it is late in the day.
Somewhere a man is sipping a cup of coffee,
Sleepily, trying to awaken into life,
As if all the answers had arrived,
The book before him an angel in disguise.
We wait, thinking they will come,
Knowing they won’t, hoping they will.
The shadow of doubt crosses the sun.
People somewhere, everywhere, hold their breaths,
Trying to save themselves from something.
It is early morning, it is late in the day.
A teenage girl, desperate for affection,
Assiduously searches a series of esoteric texts
That promise an answer to her longing.
None comes, the world turns, nothing
Fills the emptiness she swallows.
It is early morning, it is late in the day.
Here we are in the middle of our lives,
Quietly, deep in thought, turning the pages
Of our inscrutable books, timeless classics.
Excellent Mr. Curtin. Just finished reading

and this fit nicely into my mindset. Enjoy your writing.
Many people in the USA hate immigrants, blacks, latinos, and non-whites. Not just Trump and his government. I was participating in the alternative news website of Ron Unz, who is a right-wing conspiracy theorist http://www.unz.com and his website is loaded with racist, fascist pro-Hitler articles. It’s stupid and sick, i had to quit their site which is anti-scientific as well because the problems of the USA and the world are caused because the means of productions are owned by a few. Besides those racists xenophobic people who support Trump most of them are poor and even if the USA becomes a country without 1 single immigrant, those same white, racists xenophobic nazis and MAGA people who are still supporting Trump will still poor or even poorer, because the power structures of the country will be the same wether it is a democratic pro-immigrants republic or a trumpist fascist hitler republic because under an open country to immigrants and under a fascist anti-immigrants country the system witll be capitalism, the system that only benefits a few and maintains poverty and pain in the great majority of american citizens.
Something has to give
I feel better in this website of Edward Curtin, I was recently participating in the comments section of the website of Ron Unz, even though Ron Unz is progressive, there are too many ultra-right wingers, fans of Hitler, white-racists in that site. Racist advocates, and i am an ultra-leftist, I don’t feel good debating with those people. I feel better here
What a corrupt government the Donald Trump government will be, they are hellbent on stealing millions of dollars. Trump, Musk and his team are turning the US government into a cleptocratic plutocratic thief-state just like the oligarchical cleptocracies of Latin America, The Caribbean and poor countries. Look what the third party alternative candidate for US president Emmanuel Pastreich said, he writes articles on globalresearchca.com
“It breaks the heart to see so many lost souls congratulating themselves on the impending approval of Gabbard and Kennedy by the Senate, two corrupt and gutless politicians who have not said a word in opposition to the takeover of the Federal Government by the vicious gangs that prop up the Trump and Musk puppets. These same fools are delighted that Trump had somehow shut down the “deep state” by closing USAID without any explanation or transparency.
The Trump regime is engaging in an unprecedented takeover of the federal government by intimation, bribes, and force, and it is covertly merging the United States Northern Command, the FBI, ICE, and intelligence agencies into one massive instrument of oppression that serves not the senile Donald Trump, nor the narcissist figurehead Elon Musk, but a dark cabinet of billionaires who intend to weaponize the entire United States government against its own citizens and the world, to dismantle all parts of government that serve the needs of citizens, and to sell off everything held in common to the highest bidder, or the best connected financier.”

NOTE: But you know how most people are, how US voters are, how mind-controlled and brainwashed by their bourgeorise consumerist middle class traditional life they are. Because i told my sister to vote for Jill Stein instead of voting for Trump and she said that Jill Stein was not a great person. The problem is that the majority of US citizens and people of other nations have a Middle Ages backward oligarchic anti-libertarian, anti-little guy, anti-poor people mentality in which only filthy rich aristocrats and plutocrats should rule countries. So in this way of thinking you could have 1000 books on your head but if you are a lower class person, without luxury cars and houses you are a piece of trash. That’s why the great majority of dumb US voters elected Trump
Beautiful and heartbreaking.
