Veiled threats

twittering tweets

escalate talk-back


as technology changes

helping to re-open

Yes, something is in the doing and thanks to technology many feel encouraged to gather and speak up.

This is powerful expression ... you help "lift the veil" ever so elegantly, dear Kacy.

Love,

Thank you, Margherita. Having ordinary citizens covering real-time news is one of the best uses of twitter and cell phone photos.

DS, yes, it is ironic. The more restrictive governments try to muzzle the masses, the more people can, should and will find ways to 'push back' the veils of secrecy and subversion. The internet is indeed a positive 'defense weapon' in this regard.

Well, I think current events are proving this to be true, Kacy.

Yes, Ida, and I think we'll find it's a healthy change in the long run.

Yo dear Kacy,

You have spoken the truth.  The truth will come someday.  I like your poem.

Love Bobby

Poignant write, makes you wonder if things will ever improve in this troubled and misled country.  It's so important to keep focus on what's happening down there.
