About love.

Angry people aren't in love. Because if they were in love, they wouldn't have time to be angry. Their focus would be on love. Love of life. Or a loving relationship. Show me someone who's vehemently angry, and I'll show you someone out of love. For instance, the angry people on the steps of the Supreme Court in Washington the other day. Angry over the court's decision to uphold the constitutional legitmacy of Obamacare. Some of 'em were furious. Pissed. Vowing to make trouble for Chief Justice John Roberts. Calling him a traitor. Because he doesn't see life and law the same way as they. Yes, they are a hateful bunch. Unable to see life much beyond their own noses. So very limited. They have no time for love. Sad. Sad. Sad. That's the nature of American polictic these days. No room for compromise. Only for hate. And anger. All because politic ain't going their way. If they were truly in love, they'd be at the seaside. Or walking in the primeval forest. Enjoying nature. And friendship. Maybe reading or writing a poem. About love. --Jim Broede
