a poem on holiday sadness

[OJ Simpson]

x-no-archive: yes

My loneliness every Yule is my fiercest ache
Far more than enough utterly to my spirit break.
I cannot see a window of even the slightest hope
Increasingly inviting is a knotted rope.
Please raise a glass when you read the news
Of how in death I joined 6 million Jews.

What about joining the victims of Nazi regome that were not Jews.? How
about the vistoms of the Japanese facists? Dont' get me wrong. I have
utmot sympathy for the Jews btu should we not mention other victims.
In fact, WWII victoms were not the only victims. Just because the Nazi
Germany was organized in it's murdering spree, it doesn't mean that
other war victims suffered less. Just my take on the issues of human
cruelty.

I've known the feeling and the feeling like it is not a choice you are
heading to but the only destination offered. Used to make me angry.
Things change though. Even with no hope, but continued efforts to
launch yourself off the slightest molecule and you cause a slight
dent, and the air eventually passes through and ... well, things
change. I was in that hopeless vacuum and somehow, I am not there any
more. Keep trying to find a livable life. I hope you'll get there.
