DEEP WRITING PROMPT: Pens for peace.

Chicago recently had a shoot-out -- AT A FUNERAL -- hospitalizing 14.

Portland is on its 56th day of protest, now with Federal agents deployed.

Tension continues to grow among humans regarding CV, race, masks, vaccines, ID chips, public health, mandated medicine, liberty, justice, propaganda, conspiracy theories, election games, ideologies, massive misinformation and confusion.

No, the kids prefer to remain kids. And resist adulthood. And channel the power of their belief into a non-paternal shell, willing to play the role.
