This slit between thumb
and forefinger:
You know this is murder,
you know where this ends.
I twist your knife
and my body dies with a sigh.
Oh, the panicky phone calls at
2AM;
Oh, the need to know:
Lodged between hemispheres:
To see is to trust, to trust
that all is as it seems.
Peel skin to bone;
acquiescence is better
than silence,
and nothing is nothing
at all.

Stand up for the #DACA!
The republican President Donald Trump is scrambling to shore up his base which appears to be more loyal to the president than the republican US congressional representatives including the majority speaker Senator Mitch McConnell and the house speaker Rep. Paul Ryan.
This is the power that president wields. This is why he is fighting for the funds to build a wall; why he recently surprised the military with his intent to bar transgender individuals from being permitted to serve in the military.
This also explains why he threw some red meat to his White supremacists’ base by his 8/15/17 speech where he equated hate groups like White supremacists, White nationalists, KKK, neo-Nazis, racists with those who oppose them after the Charlottesville, VA. White Nationalists’ rally which turned violent during the weekend of August 12, 2017. The presidents words may have shocked most Americans but he remains resolute in his thinking.

Pentatonix’s Brand New Spin On John Lennon’s Classic
Putting Tears In Everyone’s Eyes
Everyone knows the John Lennon song, “Imagine” – but Pentatonix puts their own spin on it with a powerful message that everyone can take to heart! Their voices, coupled with the moving lyrics first penned by Lennon in May 1971, come together to make a rendition of the song that everyone should hear at least once in their life!
Lennon’ inspiration for “Imagine” came about when he tried to envision a world with only peace, and without the division among all people.
The song was released later that year in October, and it was an instant hit.
Since it’s release, “Imagine” has been covered by countless artists and groups hoping to share the same message of inclusion and love.
Such is the case with Pentatonix’s chilling version!
