"...To the Last Ukrainian"

 

"…To the Last Ukrainian"
By Ellen Taylor
2023
Beat, but bivouacked, tonight
The newsflash tells us once again
America will make us fight
To the last Ukrainian.

We light our Lucky Strikes, and joke
And chew on this philosophy
And argue who, through rings of smoke,
This last Ukrainian will be. 

Basil says it won’t be him
For, through his nightmares, shells, and soot,
Comes fatal Baba Yaga, grim
Upon her tub and chicken foot.

The joke of our government is a joke on us

This is happening because of the complete  capture of governmental agencies charged with enforcing regulations by the industries they are created to regulate. It makes a joke out of government, which by definition but not in reality is "our" government. This is another example of our how government is killing us. The joke is on us. -- blj

"Weathering"

Something we've seen throughout our lives here, again, powerfully expressed by Thom Hartmann, who draws out the consequences. For those unacquainted with the term, "Weathering," in a sociological context, read on (if you are not yet exhausted). == blj
