Not Looking Good At All Poem by Julia Luber

They want us to be unable to respond. To condemn
any reaction and response is their agenda. Their strategy-
quite tricky/quite at the gut, the nerve, the essence of one's
natural being. And to be able to have a comment is a crime
to them. Everything is "against them" and a "crime unto them"
before they think about it. Our capacities to have an opinion, and
state a fact, and REACT is a CRIME to them. It is supposed to be
only about them. It is their chance to feel Above Language and
'assigning' what and how we are supposed to speak about them.
This is their big debut. This is their take over. They are in
ecstasy throwing a muzzle around our jaws and our tongues. They
are in AVENGEMENT if we have an opinion, a reaction. As if they
want us all to be deaf, blind and dumb - except for themselves,
of course. They get angry at the slightest sign that you have formalize
perhaps even absoltized an opinion. And they are not looking good
in the big picture. They are not looking good in the eyes of God and
eternity to throw these muzzles around our mouths, our tongues, our
reactions and responses. No, they are not looking good at all.
