Highway 145

Listening to the Cowboy Junkies
inside of a converted garage bedroom
along the the side of Highway 145
I amaze myself to realize that somehow
I have remained sober until noon

On Election Day

I find it interesting that those who want less regulation on Wall Street also want greater accountability in schools.
Those who claim that their religion is under attack also use their religion to justify inequality for women, minorities, and the LGBT community.
Those who want smaller government and less help for the People constantly push for a larger military to wage war in the name of corporate interests disguised in word Freedom.
It seems that those who despise a healthy democratic government want to control it, but not for very democratic reasons.
We have seen this before, and even the most sanitized textbooks in our school cannot help but show the ugly results of such a skewed philosophy.
