About This Author
My name is Joy, and I love to write.
Why poetry, here? Because poetry uplifts its writer, and if she is lucky enough, her readers, too. Around us, so many objects abound to write about. Once a poet starts with a smallest, most trivial object, he shall discover that his pen will spill out what is most delicate or most majestic hidden inside him. Since the classics sometimes dealt with lofty subjects with a lofty language, a person with poetry in his soul may incline to emulate that. That is understandable. Poetry does that to a person: it enlarges the soul and gives it wings. Yet, to really soar, a poet needs to take off from the ground.

In Public Service,,,
When people do work with good intentions for a group, organization, or a place like city, state, or country, the least they deserve is a simple thanks. They do not deserve getting grilled or slandered.
I respect President Obama for resisting the questioning of the ex-president, and I respect the two Bush presidents for staying quiet after they have left office. I think this is class for all three of them.
Although I refrain from making political comments, this entry came because of the nasty questioning of the Fed Chairman by a group of sleazy congress members. The chairman might have made a wrong decision, but one decision, even if it turned out to be wrong--if made in good faith, does not implicate a person. And those who live in glass houses should never, ever throw stones.
One thing is certain for me. Those who give well-meaning people a hard time unnecessarily and try slandering others for their personal gain will never get my vote.
But then, in public service, ingrates abound. |
