Silent Night, no more

                                                                               



Can't 'deck the halls' just yet:

Their walls are sullied by gunshot and soot;

The night skies grow ever dimmer

Toward the solstice that beckons...



What shall we call this

Epoch of guns and bloodshed

Whose love of carnage

Is like wild, wicked thorns?






December stands marked

By coffins, not garlands...

The scent of holly and juniper

Is stilled; snuffed out by senseless

Acts of violence.


Post-script: and the deadly beat goes on and on...enough already!!!

A masterful and creative genius of immeasurable talent has passed

 

Sound by Sound by Sondheim...












I just dusted off my own copy of this iconic picture a few hours ago...

Adieu, creative genius...

SADLY, AN IMMATURE BRAIN WILL GET YOU INTO TROUBLE!

The young brain's anatomical restructuring is thought to continue until the age of 25, and smaller changes continue throughout life... 


"But in the heat of the moment, an adolescent's decision-making ability can be overly influenced by emotions; i.e., their brains are predisposed to the limbic system (the emotional seat of the brain) more so than the more rational prefrontal cortex."

I very much doubt that Kyle Rittenhouse had a well developed pre-frontal cortex... and he will undoubtedly suffer the consequences...

Yet what remains the reason for someone who will celebrate their 68th birthday in a few weeks???

I don't know either!!!

... AND JUST WHAT DO 'THIS' YEAR'S WITCHES WISH TO

INCLUDE

 IN THEIR 

NOXIOUS

BREW ???

Rosacea's  perk,

Colossal jerk,

and Gaetz's       

Slimy, seedy smirk...

Covid-bats,

Jet-black cats,

and tons of

Bright red

MAGA  hats...


Gov's who lie,

Gov's who steal,

and some who simply

Lack appeal...




Then mix them up

[ So really well! ]

While folding in

The Gates of Hell...

Throw in cargo

[ Lost at sea ],

This brew's becoming

Toxic  tea!

Its iniquitous taste

Mirrors an odious race,

'Politics as usual':

The GOP base.
