Barbershop Conversations

Young professional couple meet

fall in love

decide to move in together

settle in the city

cause that is where it all happens.

Young couple buy apartment

located next door or above

vibrant cultural venue

and feel young at heart

for doing so.

Couple ages and remains in love

love living in the city but

start to love the commotion and noise

of city life less and less.

Couple complains

City governments comply

and the commotion in the city

the cultural venues

that makes that city special

are one by one by one

silenced.

Couple eventually grows old and

bored as there is less and less

interest in whatever comottion is

leftover in the city so they

decide to move to the suburbs

and raise a family of spoiled children

who will one day also look

to fall in love and move

to the city.

Todays Sermon.

One need not be a labeled a socialist to believe in a world where social justice has less to do with being some sort of warrior or claiming to be awoke

but 

more to do with believing in fixing what is intrinsically broke.

Lest one forget that simple fact.

And

May the powers that be

be given front row seats 

like Alex in A Clockwork Orange

to the creation of their

God given Anarchy.

So ends todays sermon.

Nodding my head and wondering about how much of the world I know about by watching something on Netflix.

The byline said,
Mayor killed less than
2 hours after being
sworn in

and my mind said
Mexico

and when i opened
the page and
the headline read

A mayor in Mexico
murdered less than
2 hours after being
sworn in

I sighed
and realized
that

violence is sometimes
too predictable

and that I needed to
cut down
on watching
Netflix.
