Born on a 20th of July

I was born of the anniversary of a plot that failed. I'd been reading about the life of a girl my age who was killed for distributing a pamphlet in Munich University all those years ago. It's not like that pamphlet achieved a great deal either. Others accepted to feel responsible for the welfare of their neighbours and it was a drop in the bucket. These are the heroes we uphold. They didn't prevent, or stop, the machinery of whatever the hell is going on. When I ask people around me what they think we can do about crises happening right now, they say that we can pray.

Belated.

Bonne Fete, ma nouvelle amie.

Hope you celebrated in grand style...if not, at least with some yummy alcoholic beverages.
