To Putin, Trump and other “strongmen”

 Strongman, there is no enemy. The enemy is in your mind. It is of your own creation. It is yourself you need to confront. We all do.

Strongman, we have what you don’t

What you need so bad

You cling, you squeeze, you encourage hate, you create an other, you attack, you build walls

You come up with a story for why

And it is all about you

And what you don’t have

You don’t have true love and spirit like we do, we who cherish life

Seek it

You too can be loved, but not like this

Yours is a long, long road to redemption, and you may not reach the end in this life

But be brave. Take the first step. Walk away
