So we just hope that all of these governors who are grappling will be able to provide the basic services to our citizens and not have to cut things that really are painful.

Well, clearly, for me in the immediate future, it is grappling, like so many other governors are grappling, with the economic woes of these states. We were all hoping to see some federal relief.

We have a responsibility as a state to protect our most vulnerable citizens: our children, seniors, people with disabilities. That is our moral obligation. But there is an economic justification too - we all pay when the basic needs of our citizens are unmet.

I think it is important to ask ourselves as citizens, not as Democrats attacking the administration, but as citizens, whether a world power can really provide global leadership on the basis of fear and anxiety?

Grasp And Grapple...
upon a piece of old
rosewood
the hand keeps its
grasp
grappling for a hold
to prevent the
fatal fall
darkness surrounds
the grappling
continues
the man in me
must live

The basic needs
If you don’t have one
Wonder if you come
When you don’t come home,
It is a basic need.
If you don’t have one
Listen to the feelings
You want to share with,
It is a basic need.
If you don’t have one
Attend you away
In case you fall sick,
It is a basic need.
Food, clothes, shelter
Alone aren’t the basic needs.

Families are the tie that reminds us of yesterday, provide strength and support today, and give us hope for tomorrow. No government, no matter how well-intentioned, or well-managed, can provide what our families provide.

Believing
start with the basic
belief in yourself
that no matter how
hard things are
you can always do
it and get the
taste of success
soon you realize
despite
every fall and
wound
and painful
things have been
there is still
this comfort
of how we look
at things we
give meaning
and how we
put color to
what is there
and sense its
smell
we get the picture
of who we are
and what we have
become
what is important
is
we still have ourselves
as walls
houses and beds
and windows
opening
towards this
galaxy of
meanings
the confidence
within
is indestructible
feel it
today, tomorrow,
forever
be constant as
your soul
is intact
unbroken spirit
unwavering
to the destiny
reserved for us
there

At their core, Americans all want the same basic things: a quality education for their children, a good job so they can provide for their families, healthcare and affordable prescription drugs, security during retirement, a strongly equipped military and national security.

Very Far Away
Things feel truly very horrible as life is so painful. The night is always the most depressing and night time is the time which I never feel like remembering. Ever night is painful and the day is bright.
Hate every individual has for me. This hate will continue to increase and intensity of hate will also be at its peak sometimes. Then, how am I going to survive? How will I fight my fears? Will I ever win over my fears?
I hate when the night arrives as the dark is not my friend anymore. Now, I like the brightness however a big question remains that will the glow ever fully be?
Honestly, nothing is actually alright and I have no clue about things. A dark night is now my biggest fear since it takes away my hope, all my hope very far away from me.

Services defined.
Helps for wages aren’t services.
Helps for a favour or fair woman
Cannot be held as services.
Yet such services get merit
If performed as an alternative
To a lucrative jobs at hand.
