Agreed that those who lift the poor and weak are the best leaders. The rest is platitudes and political jargon. Would Harris jump in Joe’s grave as fast as she moved when he announced he was returning the keys? Poor Joe, left with no choice, left us with no explanation why? The good of the country? That really begs a “Why”? Physical ailments, cognitive decline, really bad polls, something please. Harris received Not a single voter’s approval. A palace coup is more like it, just terrible for Joe.

Save the Country by Laura Nyro-great song!
One In The Struggle
Written 1985 during Willie Nelson's Farm Aid projects
I am a farmer, I’m trying to grow some food
Locked in a system that don’t do me no good
They think I’m beneath them, like the dirt under my nails
I am a farmer, but my farm is up for sale
I am a worker making money for my boss
When times are good he profits, when they’re bad we take the loss
We’re treated like children: supervised all day
I’d quit in a minute, if I didn’t need the pay
And the bottom line is greed and the
Bottom line is ignorance
and the bottom line is fear and the
Bottom line is power
And the bottom line is here and now
I have to realize
We’re all in this together
In the struggle to survive
We are one in the fight
To take control of our lives
We are one in the struggle,
We are one
I’m unemployed now
My job has taken flight
To some far country,
Where the workers have no rights
I’m deep in debt now
My insurance has expired
My wife is pregnant,
Some days I feel so tired
I am a refugee,
My country is at war
It’s the same old story,
The rich against the poor
And the rich get fatter on the
Lies the poor are fed
When I speak the truth,
They put a price upon my head
And the bottom line is greed and the
Bottom line is ignorance
and the bottom line is fear and the
Bottom line is power
And the bottom line is here and now
I have to realize
We’re all in this together
In the struggle to survive
We are one in the fight
To take control of our lives
We are one in the struggle,
We are one
I am a senior, living the golden years–
The pride of the drug firms, they’re playing on my fears–
And they’re mining my pockets to line their own with gold–
I am a senior, some days I feel so old
I am an Indian
I am an African
I am a woman
I am a homeless one
And the bottom line is greed and the
Bottom line is ignorance
and the bottom line is fear and the
Bottom line is power
And the bottom line is here and now
I have to realize
We’re all in this together
In the struggle to survive
We are one in the fight
To take control of our lives
We are one in the struggle,
We are one

Stirring words!
Strong Woman
City girl goes off to college
Then rears three boys on a farm.
Midwestern sky in her tender gaze
And a harvest of joy in her arm.
She’s a strong, strong woman
She can handle the pleasure and pain
She’s a strong, beautiful strong woman
With a heart and a back and a brain.
She works hard ten hours at the office
Threads the commute back home.
Determined to cut through the nonsense
She clears her head with her comb.
She’s a strong, strong woman …
Twenty-some years old, and an artist
Likes living up that ‘Frisco way.
She don’t take crap from nobody
Paints just what she wants to say.
She’s a strong, strong woman …
Bridge
Don’t listen to those voices: the shouldn'ts and can'ts.
It's your own decision: the dress or the pants.
You're a strong, strong woman
You can handle the pleasure and pain.
You're a strong, beautiful strong woman
With a heart and a back and a brain.
