Today I'm not in the mood to muse, so I'm going to let Bob Marley do it for me.
Not at all in the mood to muse today…in two short days Trump will have the most prestigious job in all of America. I can’t believe it. Even though I know it is around the corner, I still hope that something will happen that makes it not so…
I pray that all the things he’s been mouthing off about are just more of his “locker room/macho man talk.” I feel he isn’t really a confident man, so he huffs, and puffs and loud talks to distract people from his insecurity, and low self esteem. I pray he’s not really thinking about reversing NATO, or taxing every single manufacturer who wants to import any goods coming into America. I pray he truly understands that in order to get ALL THE MANUFACTURING jobs that have left, back INTO America, is going to take much more than four years. I mean they have to build plants, and staff them for starters. He can want to do these things as badly as the next guy, but to cut his nose off (destroying all his foreign trade relationships)before he has all the factories, and companies back on American soil, isn’t the right way to go about it. I think what Donald is forgetting, is that no matter how badly he wants it to be 1950’s America, it’s not, it never will be again. And that is a very, very good thing.
Anyway, I’ve been thinking about Bob Marley a lot this week, since he had such a loving peaceful way of sending out messages of unity. So as we prepare for the Obama’s to leave, and the Trump’s to arrive, I’m going to focus on the infamous lyrics of ONE LOVE…
May we all join together to create more love, less fear, more hope, less hate, and may we not falter, or doubt that we are already pretty damn great.
Love, SB
One love, one heart
Let’s get together and feel all right
Hear the children crying (One love)
Hear the children crying (One heart)
Sayin’, “Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right
Sayin’, “Let’s get together and feel all right
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Let them all pass all their dirty remarks (one love)
There is one question I’d really love to ask (one heart)
Is there a place for the hopeless sinner
Who has hurt all mankind just to save his own?
Believe me
One love, one heart
Let’s get together and feel all right
As it was in the beginning (one love)
So shall it be in the end (one heart)
Alright, give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right
Let’s get together and feel all right
One more thing
Let’s get together to fight this Holy Armageddon (one love)
So when the Man comes there will be no, no doom (one song)
Have pity on those whose chances grow thinner
There ain’t no hiding place from the Father of Creation
Sayin’, one love, one heart
Let’s get together and feel all right
I’m pleading to mankind (one love)
Oh, Lord (one heart) whoa
Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right
Let’s get together and feel all right
Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right
Let’s get together and feel all right
