Politics — in 55 words
Poetry | Posted by Jannie on 28 October 2010 @ 6:44 PM 67 Comments
He’s to the left.
I’m to the right,
our backs bent into
the rope of our beliefs.
We are both closest
to the center line,
so close we could
hold hands. Dare we?
Dare we drop our grip?
Abandon our teams
and The Struggle,
to sit side by side
in some little cafe where
love is always waiting?
A Friday Flash Fiction 55 for the G-Man, who art in Michigan and who wilt comment if you tell him your 55 is up.

Never! Gotta drag him through the mud!
Since you’re in Texas, you must be watching the Bill White ads ripping Governer Perry for spending Ike money to renovate the mansion…without bothering to mention that it burned down!…and the fact that we had to send Ike money back because we didn’t find a way to spend it all.
The ads make me not want to vote for anybody.

I love your poem there are so many angles to it. I saw the sweetness of a boy and girl divided by whatever and the reality that the love is better than the battle.
The tug of war of elections is so ridiculous
Love to you sweet friend

Hi Jerry, poly-tics, never heard that one before. Good one.
Hi Eric, that is so true most of the time, people get set in their ideas.
Hey, G-Man, I guess I missed the mark this week with politics, and not Halloween. Boo!
Hey Brian, when I think of all the folks I blog with, it really does not matter what our ideals, as long as we are good to each other.
Hey, Daisy, I hope you have a good weekend too, with lots of love and laughs.
Hey, Monkey Man, I was thinking of one friend in particular with this. We may not agree on issues, butI hope we will always be able to sit and just be friends.
FireBlossom, I’d vote for your dog too. And my cat. I think they’d do a abetter job than most humans.
Hey, Teresa — once your post is up, copy and paste the URL for your post. Mine for this post is… http://www.janniefunster.com/2010/10/28/politics-in-55-words Okay, next… put this in front and that should work. I hope, if it comes out right in this comment. If it messes up after I post this, I’ll email you the same info.
Hey, Jen, I’ve not heard of Ike money. I watch very little tv, except for America’s Funniest Home Videos, I could watch them all day, and night. Haven’t noticed any ads on those. I think what’s hard is good people who do want to serve and make things better get villified right alongside the ones who are really up to no good.
Hey, Secret Agent Woman, I so apologize for not getting over to your blog lately. All my blog reading has fell behind. I have all the best intentions, then time slips away. For different reasons we all believe what we do, but if we can’t all love one another we’re missing out on some great spice in life.
Ah, my sweet MoonDustWriter, yes, I think this could apply to so much in life, to differences that crop up. I just read the poem again and it seemed different than when I wrote it yesterday. Funny, felt political yesterday. And general today. Love IS always better than the battle, GREAT words, I can feel the Ghandi in your!
Hey, Alice Audrey, you are very very astute with your comment. If we really believe that our tugging is helping the greater good, then dropping the rope may well be dropping the ball. Good things we work towards we should never give up on. Like your amazing writing you’ve been gifted with.
Yvonne – hi! You were in moderation there, so I am editing in this reply to you! Hi. You must be a G-Man fan. He does have a lot of us. Yes, I guess it all comes down to civil discourse starting with each of us, right. And I really really think people are getting nicer to each other, not the other way around. Do you think?
Dearest Jeanne, well I think of myself more in the light jazzy – folk genre, but I suppose I could slip into some rock, you wonderful ass kicker you.

Hey, Ellis, and I think the war’s been going on for thousands and thousands of years. Democracy, the best system so far (well other than the Garden Of Eden, but that kinda got derailed,) is only as good as the intentions of those runnning it.
Dear Sweet Mia, it was a joy making your sidebar button, I think it turned out real sweet. The only regret is that it moves down one spot a day as new buttons arrive up top. But you know you are ALWAYS prominent in my heart. You do know that, right?! Hey, a cup of joe with you anytime would make my day, no matter what our differences might be, tho I have a feeling we are much more like each other, than not.

My third attempt–I’m sure it’s my ineptness! So here it is, one more time. I am overwhelmed to be listed in you sidebar under your “Blessings” list. You may wish to remove me, though. I’ve just blogged my final post as steveroni…
The hardest part of leaving is knowing I’ll not be able to sit at that table in the little cafe, letting differences become similarities!
How do I tell you how much your blog, and ALL the others have meant to me? There is not a way. And my heart is torn, because half of it is left here in Blogland, while the other half goes with me…to try to gain back a LOAD of spirituality which I have lost the past few years.
Thank you AGAIN and AGAIN for honoring me up in the top corner of your blog this week!
Love and PEACE!

Jannie said,
Well, hey wonderful Steveroni, then what a wonderful farewell your sidebar button makes, it will move down a spot a day until 20 new buttons have taken its place. Maybe I’ll change it to Farewell Steveroni, yes, good idea. We all blog for different reasons, as many reasons as there are bloggers. It was a joy to meet you. I honor your journey and decision. And please know — there will always be a seat open at Jannie’s Cafe for Steve!! Peace to you too. And love.
Belinda, luckily I am on the same “side”
as my hubs (I wrote this thinking of a friend.)But I do know couples who are at odds, must make for some interesting kitchen table conversation. Yes, indeed, divisiveness is the nature of the political beast. As Ellis points out, the was goes on.
Ah, thanks Hootin’ Anni. Maybe one day we will see that come true.
Tony — that makes me smile and reminds me all the more reason for government to get out of the way of business. But what we gonna do? I won’t be running for office, will you?
And there is my Hilary! Yes, joining together and working together, even listening to each other would do a lot of good. I think this post is great inspiration too for that 3rd verse of Do You Dream I’m working on. Do you dream of everyone hanging out and having fun, singing songs in peace and harmony… Yes, BB has 3 “kostume” ideas, I guess he’ll be up on a Halloween header Sunday!
Peace and love to you.
Hey, Lynn, attack ads, I remember those. Don’t watch much tv these days. I think a lot of politicians just like to be famous and feel important. But getting along, like we all do on this blog, right-left, tall-short, skinny-plump, younger-older is a mighty fine thing indeed.
Hey, Talon, always good to let the struggle go, eh? Yes, that doggie is so so cute and cool. Very Norman Rockwell-esque I think!
Hey, Dr. J! I LOVE that!!! So so true. I guess the honest ones can go off to make a caring difference in the world in other ways. Like you do!
Polly — I’m on! In fact, I’m drinking a coffee now and I’ll pop in to your blog later to chat between 12:30 to 2:30 from the library!
I am now going to work on songs for a whole hour, non-stop, so off I go!!

Ah, thanks, Claudia, I appreciate that. I do like the idea of being whisked to cafe mode. This laptop seems to be my cafe at the moment — a nice thing to have the Net.
Hi Dear Vodka Logic. When we see a chance at love, eh? Which is a chance every moment! When in doubt, love, eh?
Hey Vered, I’m not exactly sure if you mean we see people fighting all the time, or getting along despite our differences? The politicians are running a show yes, but as the wise people like Liara Covert would say, “The only show that matters is our own show.” Actually I just coined that. I think!
Hmmn, a line in a song maybe? 
I think you are running a lovely show from what I know of you. Me? Need a lot of improvement. Especially in housework!

First of all let me announce
that I am pleased and proud
to be depicted on one of your
sterling sidebars. My smile
nearly broke my jaw when I
finally realized, with your help,
that that sidebar was my personal
dominion.
Oh Desk49, you get to the marrow
of things so expertly /the war goes on/
–yes, ad infinitum, blind to history,
blind to honesty, blind to love,
hungry for profit, deceit, demagoguery,
and bullying. We cannot trust our
leaders, and yet who will take their
places if we line them up and plink
them down like ducks in a shooting
gallery; more bozos, more politicians.
Revolutions teach us that human
nature leads us astray, that nowhere
in this world does pure equality exit,
just the haves, the have nots, and the
rest of us!
Your poetry sings with Funster wit
and wisdom, Jannie, and I adore
your closing lines /to sit side by side/
in some small cafe where/love is
always waiting/. That angel can be
surreptitious, nearly invisible–except
when we gather in Funsterland,
and let it reign and rain.
Like the Beatles used to say;
Remember that the love you take
should be equal to the love you make.

Jannie said,
Dear Henway. More true words spoken here today, thank you. Yes, a tug-of-war goes on when we resist love and all that it speaks. And it all starts in us.
Dear Dulce, in looking for something to inspire me for a line or two of lyric the other day, I read a quote on peace, something to the effect that peace is far better than war, and hardly as arduous. (At least I think that’s the way the quote went.) Your comment also reminds me that gloating and name-calling are not nice, all part of not getting along.
Dear Patti, yes — we let fear get in our way of common respect and communication, the way the Universe is designed to flow. And some day I’ll meet with you somewhere for coffee and / or beer, depending on how long our visit goes on! So many great friends to look forward to meeting. Tho Snaggle will not have beer or coffee, she likes herb teas. But might tipple a mixed drink!
Hey, Jinksy, and we could dance in rosey-posey circles!
While singing. Fun!
Hey, Mona, coffee shared in a nice little cafe with a friend is always welcome, as long as they smell nice, or at least non-offensive. I know that may sound weird to say, but if someone had really relay bad b.o. and I had to sit too close, that would most likely dampen my Ultimate Cafe Experience. Forgive me anyone, if I offend to say so!
And look at the time — wandered away again.
Ended up only 25 minutes here at the library. Now must pick up some vampire make-up at Walgreens and pick up the Kellster to go to a party with her. Whoo-hoo!!
oxoxox
xoxoxo
I shall return, and if I don’t I’ll meet you on the other side.
I mean I’d L:IKE to return. And I plan to!! But life is short. And I could get hit by a Hummer or an Echo today. But odds are great I won’t.
Well, this was cheery, this last bit.
Jannie loves YOU.

What an incredible 55. I am sure there are so many couples out there just like
you! My son tells me that his dad and “other mother”, now married 20+ years
( I just love Lois – and Ed and I have always stayed friends ) are complete
opposites, in more ways than one. He’s a staunch Republican and she’s a
Jewish Democrat, active in the League of Women Voters, etc. Somehow, they manage just fine and vote their own ways. I’m sure there are plenty of hearty discussions in the household, though. He and I were also on opposite sides of the fence, politically.

Hi Jannie — yes, somehow I can’t imagine heated political discussions being your particular cup of tea. In my experience, they tend to, as I think you put it in song, interrupt the reciprocal energy flow between people.
On 29 October 2010 at 11:04 pm
Jannie said,
Dearest Glenn, I regret not having sent you express Golden Invitations by Fex-Ex, UPS and DHL as conserns your side button. I thought telling you directly in a comment over at your place would suffice, yet I underestimated your busyiness these days.
Very interesting visuals there on the politicians lined up and shot down like a carnival game.
Friko — how AWESOME it is you should pop in here. Glenn — my most high and lovely Glenn. Another of the very first friends I lured here. He is a treasure. He does inhale the finest of poems the minute they are thought up on this planet!! He’s one awesome dude. He’s retired now, and staying busy and connected. Ah, yes, cash does beckon. I get lured by it myself. But I know all will be provided always. And lessons repeating until I learn them.
Ahhh, Patricia, I am delighted you should deem this a great poem for understanding and learning. I’d love to hear what conversations come up at your meeting.
Hey, Carmen! I read once that to speak of ideas rather than people makes for better conversation. I can only imagine the ideas discussed at Ed & Lois’ table. Lively I bet! Ideas, ideals and goals, healthy debate. Nice to hear about people agreeing to disagree and still getting along.
Hey, Miss Mama Zen, I’m thinking of starring in Ghandi 2, getting into the mood to play the role. I think Communism takes away from individuality and freedom.
Hey, Lulda, D.C. seems so inviting to me with all those cool historic sites, but yes, election stuff must get old. Any way to get away from it all where you live?
Hey, Sheila — lying should be outlawed. Hey, Moses — he had that written down, didn’t he? Yes, written in stone it was. One of the Big 10 I think make an excellent life blueprint.
Hey, Chris, you are correct I don’t get into too heavy of discussions on politics. Ha! You remember my awful YouTube about interrupting the reciprocal flow of energy!? you poor thing, having to watch that.
But hey, I gave great advise about not sticking a fork in your computer, eh?? 
Hey, you guys ROCK!! You know that, right??

Dearest Evita, always a warm glow in my heart to see you here. Money? Yes, money comes and money goes, but it’s the good we do with it and loving each other that matters. You have a good Halloween?
Hi Magic Eye, well thanks. Just a few words that popped into my head one day.
Hey Quilly, beer it is! All for one, and one for all, made of the same star dust and love.
Hey, Dear Alessandra, the song… I forget what song I mentioned to you, please forgive me and remind me, and I’ll search for it.
Hey, Snaggle it seems 33% are staunchly left, 33% right, no matter what but the middle third is often the game changer for outcomes. Yep, Big Election tomorrow, eh? But I’ll be up in my tree. Hoping it might not rain!! Yes, BB was so happy he found the Christpoher Reeves wig.
Hey, Brian — BB thanks you so much and hopes you guys had a great one too!!
Hey, Akelamalu — thanks! Glad you liked it.
