The song that comes to mind is ''what do you get when you fall in
love''...because that's what most of us did. We fell in love with that
hope thing. What we got was lies and pain. We got all kinds of new
mountain top removal projects approved. We got no public option on
healthcare. We've still got Guantanamo and rendition. We just got 500 leases
opened for drilling in the Arctic Ocean and the Keystone XL oil pipeline
from Canada to Texas. And a slap on the wrist for that lil' ol' BP oil
spill that we don't hear much about anymore while it still kills out
there in the dark deep. And islands along the Gulf coast are still coated in
oil with no clean up plans for now...or ever. We've still got the
so-called Patriot Act, and we've still got it with no
oversight. Big corporations are still in charge. The 99% still are not. And those tax cuts for the rich are safe and warm, baby, safe and warm. Hope is a dead fish. Ah'll nevah fall in that love agin.

I am so with you on this. Hope is such a booger, isn't it? It's awfully hard to let go of it in spite of that cold slap of reality. Things are so messed up.
I enjoy your blog and your poetry very much. Please write more often.
A fan
