To an Orchid

I know you will bloom again,
and even so,
no plant’s loss of petals
has ever
affected me so deeply.

I wonder if you also
feel the sadness of
our time together’s passing.

Or if offering such Beauty,
however short-lived,
is enough?

Medicine got taken over when MBA’s replaced MD’s as CEO’s! Insurance is inherently a scam.

Let’s get Real Medical Care in place, for everyone!

I often think this. This horror isn’t new for many people, though we need to rid it for all of us.

When you intercept aid, isn’t that anti-humanitarian?
Can we say “genocide” now?
And may I be clear, “Israel” is not the problem. Netanyahu is. Just like DT and Putin.
In the meantime, human beings, mostly children, are suffering horribly.
