Some love opportunities benefit from being cut short so that we may live to love better another day.

\'In this land to the bone
There are two kinds of folks
Quality ones who count and
Trashy ones who don’t.\'
and Yet: you have three doorways
in that image, Jerry
how convoluted, our sense of Truth
manifests itself
when we conveniently, curate
our corrupted
reality of heinous: righteousness..!
(know, that when we remember and celebrate
humanity\'s achievements, we are cementing our worth
but, when we remember and mourn
humanity\'s tragedies: we offer a path for our growth...!)
thank you, dear Poet
for being that insightful and empathetic, Human
we all need to know, still exists - to showcase
a version of that better Person
we\'re all striving: to become...
that\'s what your simple write, represents Jerry
at least, to me
that\'s the power for good we All, possess!!!
Tulsa - Race massacre, 101 years old today...
( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulsa_race_massacre )
knowledge is Power, choosing to share
is choosing to Keep our \'humanity\': alive
and staving-off, that \'inhumanity\'
threatening to drown us all
in hate fuelled: inhumane monstrosity...

There is a tale of a large banquet being prepared and one of the people asked the man in charge of setting up the table which people should go with who around the table and the reply was:
\"Those people who matter don\'t care; those people who care don\'t matter\"

Come on Jerry - fezz up.
Unclassified as a category and no further comments, an allusion to \'massacre\' doesn\'t really cut it for me.
Are you referring to relocations of Indians, \'Trail of Tears\' or wot else?
Or something different......
And wot has an ancient shithouse X 3 got to do with......anything....Been around for 100 Years, had it? 😊

While there shall be no entitlement, haven’t we suffered unbridled discrimination, still so prevalent.
Your verse to be actioned upon.

that juxtaposition, contrast
between your first line\'s purposed, impactful wording
and that artwork
with its dormant marble colours and broken cubed subtle imagery,
is a wonderful showcasing of your creativity\'s unique brushstrokes
in my humble opinion..
a wonderful read, thanks for sharing Jerry

Good write Jerry.
What seems daft is ceasing war when the weather is seasonally bad, then resuming it afterwards. Sort of: \'Ooh, I can\'t kill you now, it\'s too cold to be fighting these days; I\'ll try and kill you when it\'s warmer weather\'.
Though even in Old Testament, there were \'times when people went to war\', i.e. resumed it, in a sort of \'Grouse shooting season\' way, only within permitted dates.

Free \'em all - I\'m glad you bought this horrendous situation to our attention, Jerry. As a moral guardian who gives us clear unambiguous communiqués with respect to what is happening over there you have no peer.

\'Inside there are two tons of canaries
Bang-Bang-Bang
What has this to do with anything?
It’s a one-ton truck\'..
canaries, as image of innocence and inner peace...
another very clever write, Jerry
brilliantly executed!

So He\'s banging to keep half the birds in flight..... saves on the old springs I guess.
A tall story, like the old truckers tail hanging out of his pants (trousers in U.K.).

You certainly seem to have gangs of delinquents among the avian communities in the great old U.S. of A, Jerry. Doves and robins would not have much of a chance. Sincere thanks for bringing this situation so succinctly to our attention. 😊
