Google, your data suppression methods are obvious, easily recorded, abysmally inept and generally pathetic.

The simple fact that you actively engage in suppressing this and other alternative news sites means we have won and TRUTH will prevail in the end.

Trains
by jude Friday, Jun 9 2017, 12:21pm
international / poetry / post

it passed like a fast country train
heading who knows where,
i was heading the other way

it rattled past like a gatling gun
faces blurred in windows
as it sped into the distance

so many trains and stations
with various skins from black to white
in so many lands,
speeding past

a station assistant approached and asked
which train i was waiting for --
i had lost connection with time,
i thought for a moment, smiled
and left the station --
i knew the train i was waiting for
would never arrive as it had already
completed its run

as i left, familiar gatling clicks
indicated another speeding train
i turned in time to see a
face in the last cabin smiling,
eyes reflecting mine

it was ... someone familiar
but heading in the opposite direction

i crossed overgrown unused tracks
as i left tho they too
offered only two directions
