Lines from Bob Marley:

> Where the living is hardest...

> They made their world so hard..

and lines from Yeats:

> The winds that awakened the stars are blowing through my blood.

> Now words that called up the lightning
Are hurtling through my heart.

recur in my mind the same sort of way. I still can't get the un-heart just-read poem lines to remain as exact as the often-heard performed-song lines though.

A reply to my morning e-mail yesterday about taking the day off,

> I think everyone would be happier if it were easier.

, prompted a Bob Marley soundtrack for people that feel like this but can't take a vacation day.

> They make their world so hard.."^1

> Where the living is hardest! ^2

A major British news org publishes an item where a white man fantasizes about a violent sexual assault against Megan Markle.

I'm not posting that offensive tripe on here.

But I will post this response, which is also infuriating, where a different white man has the audacity to suggest Megan is not black, (as if that delegtimizes her grievances.)

White men been deciding using racial labels for whatever way benefits them for way too long fam.

> They made their world so hard (so hard)
Every day we got to keep on fighting (fighting)
They made their world so hard (so hard)
Every day the people are dyin' (dying),

Lively up Yourself

Lively up yourself and don't be no drag
Lively up yourself, 'cause this is the other bag
Hey, lively up yourself and don't be no drag
You lively up yourself, dig it, the other bag
Hey, you rock so, you rock so, like you never did before
You dip so, you dip so, and you can dip thru my door
You come so, you come so, oh yeah, like I do adore you
You skank so, you skank so, and-a I can assure you
