Broken Not Forgotten #pain #poetry #photography

penned in moon dust

I couldn’t pull away today

your pain a wound made fresh

why not tear my flesh away

heart a tear stained mess

you tore the sinews of my heart

its that way for her too

my children look with longing eyes

brown eyes are turning blue

I couldn’t pull my heart away 

your pain is an old tune

he tore at your flesh today

child needs food at noon

we pull together from the shards

women torn by love again

 burden of a life so hard

because we trust in man

I couldn’t pull away today

I saw the break was fresh

put my hanky on your heart

well help you in this mess

turn toward a brand new day

for children you must stand

God will take care of you

He will always hold your hand

Women and children can easily be broken by relationships.

God promises that he…

COP 26 and continued colonial capitalism

LANDBACK Friends

As expected, little was accomplished at the recent COP 26 meetings because countries with capitalist economic systems were in control. Industrial nations’ policies will continue to protect the capitalist economic system and the fossil fuel industry regardless of the environmental consequences.

https://thefreeonline.wordpress.com/2021/09/29/its-decolonization-or-extinction-and-that-starts-with-land-back/

I often write about the necessity of replacing the capitalist economic system as essential to addressing our evolving environmental catastrophes. Recently The Free blog of post-capitalist transition re-blogged my post, It’s Decolonization or Extinction. And that starts withLand-Back. Many people and organizations are working toward a post-capitalist world.

And yet, even as humanity faces perhaps the greatest existential crisis in its species’ history, the public debate on climate barely mentions the underlying economic system that brought us to this point and which continues to drive us toward the precipice. Ever since its emergence in the seventeenth century, with the creation of the first limited liability…

Palenke, Meksiko – Palenque, Mexico

Vivaldi translation of introduction: Among all the classic cities of the Mayan plain, the sanctuary districts of Palenque provide perhaps the most accessible key to understanding the historical, ideological, and propaganda goals of the Mayan royal dynasty.

Myrela

Među svim klasičnim gradovima iz majanske ravnice, svetilišne četvrti Palenkea pružaju možda najpristupačniji ključ za razumijevanje istorijskih, ideoloških i propagandnih ciljeva majanske kraljevske dinastije. Iako su arheolozi dugo bili usredsređeni upravo na građevine u djelu, posebno one podignute za vrijeme vladavine dvojice najpoznatijih vladara Palenkea, novija istraživanja su osvijetlila i ostale aspekte, od kojih mnogi pružaju jasniju sliku o urbanim obilježjima tog lokaliteta. Istraživanja obavljena u oblasti svetilišta dokazala su da je drevni grad zauzimao površinu od oko 350 hektara, koja je skoro u cjelini vidljiva današnjem posjetiocu i gusto pokrivena stambenim kompleksima, javnim objektima i hramovima. Najdrevnije razdoblje Palenkea ukazuje na značajnu težnju ka gustoj naseljenosti, prilično neuobičajenoj za majanski svijet. Grad je osnovan oko 150 godine, na obodu plodne ravnice isprijesecane riječnim tokovima, sjeverno od današnje meksičke države Čijapas. Zauzimao je strateški položaj između basena rijeke Usumakinta i obale meksičkog zaliva. Grad je uskoro počeo da privlači ljude…

Justice Department Secures Surrender of Over 500 Dogs from Iowa Dog Breeder and a Permanent Prohibition on Dealing in Animals | OPA | Department of Justice

In September, the United States filed suit against Gingerich, alleging that he was placing the health of his dogs in serious danger in violation of the AWA. Gingerich had amassed over 100 citations by U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) inspectors in only six months for violations of the AWA, including for the failure to provide an emaciated golden retriever veterinary care, failure to provide potable water and feeding dogs moldy food and food contaminated with wood chips. Gingerich was also cited for failing to follow an appropriate vaccine regime, which resulted in outbreaks of Parvovirus and distemper, both highly contagious but easily preventable diseases.

Under the consent decree, Gingerich was required to identify and surrender all of his dogs at his USDA-licensed and unlicensed facilities. Those dogs have now been transferred to the Animal Rescue League of Iowa, which is partnering with Wayside Waifs, Wisconsin Humane Society, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and other organizations to provide the dogs the care they need. Gingerich also agreed to permanently refrain from any activity requiring an AWA license. USDA simultaneously negotiated the permanent revocation of Gingerich’s AWA license.
