When we go out at night,
we feel a freedom that the
day cannot copy.
When they go out at night,
we assume the worst.
Why do we think everybody’s
trying to hurt us?
I’d bet it’s the programs.
Television isn’t our visions.
It’s time to make our own
decisions and stop the divisions.
No one’s underneath anyone.
We’re all one.
We all want peace.
If everybody’s so afraid of the streets,
then why do we have them?
Can’t we just dig them up
and have them put grass instead?
I feel like we’re being
constantly misled
and told the world
is something
it’s not.

Has German intelligence issued a warning about a potential Russian attack on NATO within this year?
According to an alleged leak of German Intelligence, Russia is preparing for a full-scale war with NATO by 2026. The leak points to the reorganization of the Russian army, movement of troops, and mobilization of the defense industry. 😳🎖️ The report suggests that within five years, Russian military strength could double. While the veracity of the report is yet to be confirmed, the evidence of Russia's preparations is already evident. 💀💪 Western support for Ukraine has been a critical factor in Russia's evolving stance. The West's reluctance to provide decisive aid and commit to a Russian defeat has emboldened Putin's ambitions. 😒💸 Russia has adapted its military tactics, offered lucrative pay packages to recruits, and mobilized its industry for war. Russian defense spending has doubled, and production of military equipment has skyrocketed. 🇷🇺💰 Sanctions? Psh, Russia's finding ways around those. They're still getting their hands on the parts they need to keep the war machine running. And let's face it, this isn't just a phase – they're in it for the long haul. 😤🔧 NATO's hesitancy to challenge Russia directly has given Putin reason to believe he could win a war of attrition against NATO's eastern flank, potentially targeting the Baltics, Poland, and even Finland. 😬🌍 Russia's goal may be to force the Baltics back into its sphere of influence, close the Suwalki gap, and prove that NATO's Article 5 commitment is a joke, potentially leading to the alliance's disintegration. 😈💀 The United States' commitment to NATO has become questionable, with former President Trump expressing sympathy for Putin and threatening to pull the US out of the alliance. 🇺🇸⚰ Europe's starting to sweat bullets over the idea of Russia taking Ukraine and then coming for them next, especially if the US withdraws its support. 😩🇪🇺 As Russia prepares for war, Europe must take decisive action to support Ukraine and strengthen its own defenses, potentially even without US support, to counter the growing Russian threat. 🤷♂️🚨

The problem with being a nice person
Who would have thought that being a nice person could be problematic. The majority of people would tell you that’s what they want to be or at least want those around them to be, but as it turns out, what we want and what we say we want are worlds apart. I won't stress or ramble on about how I would like things to be, but I’ll just analyze why this is, I am not sure either if a solution is even possible.

Hoooooooo, a hole in one!!! And my favourite line: "If everybody’s so afraid of the streets, then why do we have them? Can’t we just dig them up and have them put grass instead?" Yes, yes, YESSSSS!!!
Thought-provoking and well said!
Food for thought! We should all be starving right about now. And I agree, too much TV can lead to brain washing!
Impressive, inspiring, and provoking!!! Profound performance poem!!!💕❤️❤️
This is a really good poem! We're always being pointed in some direction, to believe something for some reason whether we see it or not. I like to think the world is beautiful and maybe not as scary and terrible as the news thinks. But then again, I love sitting out in the middle of the night! Great poem that inspires a lot of thinking!
If everybody’s so afraid of the streets, then why do we have them? Can’t we just dig them up and have them put grass instead? These questions were so deep and thought provoking! Loved your poem!
Thank you for sharing this thought-provoking piece that encourages reflection on societal constructs and inspires a reevaluation of our collective perceptions.
Fantastic poem! 🐉🐲
That we do & that they do. Except for the arms manufacturers. They love war, so long as it's in someone else's backyard.
Don't have a TV now, and I think I am on the right track. Oh, and congrats on the Challenge win!
She has done it again. Very thought provoking Outstanding 🙂
"I feel like we’re being constantly misled and told the world is something it’s not." I'm reminded of an old song that goes..."it's more than a feeling, more than a feeling..." Well done, RP! As per usual.
