It’s just another Jarrow Crusade
Ignored by those in power
Backed by a whole class of people
Whose life has gone sour
The change will slowly come
Too late for those affected
The masses’ message manipulated
Ignored and rejected
The power is not with good people
Whose members swell the ranks
But held by the precious few
Who own the guns and tanks
As your protest heads down the street
Always remember your way home
Before that’s taken from you too
And you’re left to seethe alone
You’re either with us or against us
Left conquered when divided
Along the path of least resistance
Your own future will be decided
Today I’m feeling:
A little more positive today. I’m liking that I can’t remember what day it is but that will all change soon.
Today I’m grateful for:
Electricity. After 4 hours without it last night I thought it wasn’t too bad but then realised I was still able to use my phone and iPad as they still had charge. If they had run out I don’t think I would’ve been so happy.
The best thing about today was:
Almost finishing the flashcard sorting. I could’ve finished it but as I find this kind of task enjoyable I want to stretch it out one more day. Next, I have to integrate their use into my lessons and hopefully, the students find them useful.
(I couldn’t resist and finished them off so now the island in the dining room is relatively clear again.
What was out of your control today and how did you handle it?
First thing this morning I stepped on Amy’s thin folding mattress on the floor and under my foot was wet. Argh! It felt like a full bladder of piss had been dispensed. I picked it up and hung it outside in the sun, having to also take the rug too as it had seeped through to that as well. Good morning!
Something I learned today?
In some street interviews, many young Chinese people assumed America has high-speed rail because it’s America so they must have it.
Write about a memorable experience from this past week.
The coming of the rain and the destructive storms. The rain was good, the destruction not.
