The dare and the Cup….
When in physical battles man standing next to man, each man
looks for and defends from a weakness. The amount of men does not matter.
We accept this, we embrace this, from the Olympics, the our
love of Football we enjoy, the concept, we train to achieve the proceeds, that
metal, that Cup!
JFK The first leader I was introduced too, Talked about how
the individual can achieve a greatness beyond the boarders of our own planet if
we stood together.
The first African American I noticed, Was Martin Luther King
Jr. A man who said that greatness is not a reflection of skin, nor sex that
everyone deserves it.
By the chance of live I live in a small community, and
within that community I live in a small complex of 77 families, all nice and divided
up encircling a playground like giant wagons, a history of the west. Not really, but then again!
In my little building of four equal houses, of these I will
explain each of the families as best I can, building B if you will.
Unit One, Is a small family, displaced from the horrors of
War torn Afghanistan, a father who’s twin sons play with mine in that Playground.
His wife who while completely traditional walks everyday with their daughter
in-law for exercise, a woman always with a kind beautiful smile reflected in
her eyes and voice. Of this couple I have heard no complaint, I have seen
nothing but care and concern, and they are great people if ever you met them, again
reflected in their children’s laughs on that Playground.
Unit Four, A Mexican American family well almost, legally
driven to better his life and that of his wife and young daughters he came to
America to live a dream, stricken by stress he suffered a stroke, though every
day you seen improvement he still struggles to walk that same everyday walk for
exercise, his incredible wife works and cares for him and his two daughters,
she has watched them play in that Playground for six years now.
Unit Three, by some luck if you will, a chance if you can,
not once but now twice has an African family the last from Kenya, this one from
Somalia I think refugees displaced and assisted by the World Health Organization
and a local church group. I have yet to
get to know them as language for me is still a struggle, but the smiles of
their daughters the excitement and laughter as play with mine on that Playground
is a joy to be herd.
Unit Two, The drunken lost soul of a artist, the avoidist,
who’s wife worries for my handicap of social interactions, for the price of an
image or a poem.
This is repeated equally divided between the buildings
through out the complex of 77 families, it is their families, the immigrants,
the refugees from persecutions and the injured, the veterans of our wars both
won and some lost, of wars we have not fought.
A greatness on a playground.
This is not a greatness of might, but a weakness of care.
This was not won by weapons but a result of them, this is
not a just a pause but the games end result.
Mr. King, do I set upon the dream, the metal, and the Cup!
Mr. Kennedy is not the achievement of the many a Greatness!
Is our persecutions based on belief, on a boarder or out of
love.
Was not the sonnet: “Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"”
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"”
Emma Lazarus in plagued upon the footing of such a bacon
that they should fear our guns?
This greatness is not about violence, prosecutions and war
but a result of it!
The killing of one is the last course of action.
This is the land of care.
Our stance is not to be upon the attack, but defense should
one try and take that.
Come if will and see the dream, but remember what the dream
is, remember what our greatness is, of this I do dare!
Mr. Transparency of the first of what three, NSA, HomeLand,
and of the FBI come now what secrete, what fact will you find upon that
playground, where you will find their children and mine.
Again I must say, of this I do dare, come if you will, to
your awareness let not the greed compare to the envy of the dare.
This is the land of care.
What is the price of one life in the battles we so fight,
are we really made to fill that playground.
Please don’t forget that Cup!
What picture of the Cup should I dare paint.
