Judeo-Christian

Standard
Hanukkah 🕎 in a Judeo-Christian household.

Moses who led his people to freedom and was given the Ten Commandments are in both The Torah and The Bible.

This may be a time for trees and Santa but we honor this time as a holy time.

Miracles do happen and occur.

Religions live peacefully together.

Believe.

Reality

Standard

You want this

I want something else

You want this

I want something else

You want this

I want something else

You must have this

I must have something else

You will have this

I will have something else

You may write or say a narrative of what you want me to be

Regardless of all the AI imagery put forth

In my heart, in my head I will always be something else,

Left leaning blue artistic traveling democrat, who loves her husband named Phineas.

Rage bait

Standard

In order to rage bait

You have to know someone’s triggers

You have to know what they like and dislike

You have to li, scam and deceive

You have to make people suffer

Huh so humans who obtained promotions based on how much they rage baited someone would be called this

Rage bait equals hostile environment

-Jennie Nawrocki

Fur

Standard

This time of year

You see lots of it

Faux fur coats and linings

Fur rugs

Fur blankets

Even furry hats

Faux fur is manufactured

Soft just like an animal

Who used it for the same reason you are using it

Warmth

Granted fur these days is manufactured

For some reason we can’t get enough

Even my cat likes the faux fur Christmas tree skirt

So bundle up

That faux fur is just joy.

Oh wait

Have you ever tried to clean it?

Then we all say just don’t get my faux fur dirty.

Your Land Is Their Land

Standard
Your Land Is Their Land

We all gather to say thank you and celebrate an event that showed generosity from Indigenous peoples.

To this day the descendants of those people live among us or on reservations that we made for them.

When the Vikings invaded England they plundered and ruled over the Anglo Saxons.

Why is it some cultures invade and intermingle but others push them out?

Seriously this is a very concerning holiday to me, it is a day we should have First Nations prominently celebrated but instead we just eat with our families.

Heck on Cinco de Mayo we put up South of the Border decorations and every Mexican restaurant is filled with people

But

Where are the Native American restaurants? Where are those shops that you can buy their cultural items of prominence?

Lunar New Year we give out red envelopes 🧧 and see dragons dance in streets.

Why not Indigenous peoples ways more known or celebrated?

Is there a way to celebrate their culture?

Yes you should gather with friends and family but don’t forget those who cultivated maize, beans and squash. Some tribes even call them the ‘three sisters’.

Please think of them as you eat popcorn 🍿 at a movie, or chips at the Super Bowl, your famous chili and cornbread, or simply pumpkin pie.

Your land is was and should be honored as their land also.

Family and Friends

Standard

The rain maybe prevalent

The wind may howl

The cold steadily intensified

Trees mostly bare

Most days you ask where is the sun?

But inside

Is the warmth

Tea, cocoa, cider and coffee all at ready

Soups and stews sidelined with crackers and bread

Hearty meat is roasted rather than grilled and served to perfection

Beds piled with coats

And people relating scores of their teams

But one thing doesn’t change

Whether inside or outside

You have your family and friends

To explain what just happened

-Jennie Nawrocki

Speak

Standard

Whatever you are trying to make me do

Said no a million times already

Why are we always here

You say you never get your way

But you also say you are always winning

You say I talk to much

But yet your voice is always heard

You say I monopolize the conversation

But yet I seem to be the voice that doesn’t make sense among many

I will speak my voice.

-Jennie Nawrocki

Still

Standard

Still dislike Trump.

Still don’t want my mother to be my best and only friend.

Still love Phinaes.

Still will not give a Millionaire money just because they asked for it.

And still am the same woman I was in October even though it is November.

Still know I am innocent.

Still grateful for any help or support I have gotten over the years by anyone or anybody.

Still though I know I am alone completely without hope, help, or support.

Bye forever.

Until the day I can’t write no more.

-Jennie Nawrocki

Ruined

Standard

There is nothing but regret and sorrow over a word.

If anything could erase it from the air space and sea I would.

This is just devastating.

Eternally sorry

Recover yourself as quickly as possible I know you want to distance yourself from me

I am sure I don’t have any chances now.

My heart aches.

-Jennie Nawrocki

Crayons

Standard

It come in 64

That box so bright

Just like a school bus

With names like purple mountain majesty

Or at least it used to

Colors any creation

Tells you what items stand for T

When you fill in the black and white picture

Can shade an entire page

Melted color paraffin

It is an essential for every childhood

Without them we would never drew our first house or sun

Don’t forget they have always been non toxic

Whether nostalgia

Or a new day with elementary students

You never stop

Using crayons
