“Now Donald Trump's a diamond in the rough, the Christ disguised as dirty, worthless stone. He's covered up with lots o' ugly stuff, with evil attitudes I can't condone.

WILLFUL BLINDNESS

“With willful blindness practiced now by most, a peaceful future's very much in doubt. When nuclear bombs could make this planet toast, that willful blindness we could do without! When folks start daily reading “Counterpunch”, then maybe we will see some rays of hope. Right now so many minds are out-to-lunch, that Life on Earth is running out o' rope! So, reader, do ya care, er do ya not? Since some don't care, the end is getting near. We must appreciate this chance we've got, and act ta save this planet! Did ya'll hear?”

PLEASE HANG IN THERE

PROPER SELF-CARE TONES UP YOUR MORALS

"There’s foolish, fearful, angry, cruel ones; there’s hatred, murder, missiles, bombs, and guns. So love the Lord, yourself, and neighbors, too, and trust in love, and love ‘ll see ya through. Why don’t we cultivate brave hearts of peace? Let’s do, and see real justice here increase! We’d be much healthier, and prone ta thrive; we’d keep the hope of heaven here alive. It’s possible we’ll see these dreams come true, and if you’d help, please, take good care o’ you!"
