Playing A Silly Game
That everybody is playing
Meaning everybody
All 7B players plus
Making up the rules
As we all go along
On a spherical game board
As a quasi-combination of
Monopoly, Clue, Life
Sorry, Scrabble, War
Chess, Checkers
And Trivial Pursuit
Mostly
Trivial
Pursuit
What seemed like guidelines
Became rules, which of course
Then grew into commandments
Before turning in to articles
Transforming into laws
Which then set precedents
To forever punish
Never reward
THOU SHALL NOT
Could have
Just as easily
Been established
As
Those willing to do
And do good will
Be rewarded and praised
Honored and encouraged
To do more good
But noooo
“That was one of the things that bothered me about my religion. That conflict between pain and pleasure.
They were always PUSHING for pain. You were always PULLING for PLEASURE!”
– George Carlin
Just imagine
If that were the
Evolutionary fork
In the road
That had we taken it
Then
Whenever that “then” was
Where “we” would be today
Banishing the
Rule of law
As creations
Of a Gaia
Consciousness
There is only
Natural law
“You’re born absolutely free except for laws of nature, if you drink you get drunk, that’s a law, if you get old you die, that’s a law too; if you sit on a tack you will bleed from the ass, these are the only laws that you’re born with.
These are the only laws they that you’re born with. And any kind of government just #ucks you out that type of freedom”
– Doug Stanhope
Engaging in
Reciprocity and kindness
Which like any
Path chosen
There is always time
To switch paths
Now is the time
An example of
Changing rules
Would be
Basketball
Originally started with
13 rules
What was once a game
To keep athletes in shape
Through the winter
By putting a
Soccer type ball
Into a closed
Peach basket
And of course
Anything that starts with
A noble purpose
Business eventually
Swoops in to
Take advantage
Making allegedly
Grown men, into
Corporate pawns
In a garish game of greed
During a cacophony of chaos
Where a referee is supposed
To keep his eye on the ball
And still make sure
Someone’s feet
Didn’t “travel”
Now there are
A plethora
Of rules for
Different divisions
Too numerous to count
Even to the degree
That a player can be
“Fined” for his behavior
Moving past that
Think you are a “land” owner
And have property “rights” ?
Along comes
Eminent domain
Should “progress”
In your area
Dictate
You need to move
You will
Move
Merely because
It is not me
So it is okay
Group think
Deems that
Acceptable
On to our current
Dilemma
According to
Rudy
Plus others
You can’t indict a
Sitting president
Oh shit, let’s write
Another “law”
Hitherthereforetoo
A “sitting” president
Shan’t not be indicted
Wait, what is the
Legal precedent?
Ummm, ummmm…
Cause we just passed
A law
In case
One day
We are president, then
We too will want to be
Above reproach
Let’s create a bunch
Of mumbo jumbo
Surrounding the new law
To make it official
Article bleen
Section nya nya nya
It is unlawful to also
Indict a standing president
Or a golfing president
Or a kakistocratic president
This could all stop today
If a small but well intentioned
Group of bipedal earthling artists
Picked up their ball and went home
Opting not to play anymore
By circumstance
Peacefully encouraging
The rest of the
Players to
Play a new game
One that is not
Biblically sadistic
Where it is okay for
Moses
To kill an
Unnamed unarmed
Egyptian
Running away
As a fugitive
Then
When it us
It is a different story
“Here’s how it happened:
About five thousand years ago, a bunch of religious and political hustlers got together to figure out how they could control people and keep them in line.
They knew people were basically stupid and would believe anything they were told, so these guys announced that God— God personally—had given one of them a list of Ten Commandments that he wanted everyone to follow.
They claimed the whole thing took place on a mountaintop, when no one else was around.”
– George Carlin
Giving the successive powers that be unlimited authority over how they wish to attempt to control people who they perceive are beneath them.
Implementing herd morality, like thou shall not murder. Which obviously does not apply to them.
Whether it be God or governments, that rule of the game, simply does not apply.
Think not, consider for a moment that much ballyhooed incident where an entire planet of people and children were murderously drowned because the authority did not like the way “his” children were behaving.
The first mass corporal punishment via globalcide. That ought to be a deterrent for thousands of years till as long as you can perpetuate the bullshit claiming * “an invisible man living in the sky” can implement a similar fate / justice anytime he wants.
* -George Carlin
As for the murder is illegal “rule, when it comes to the government, simply does not apply. All they have to do is rename the deceased, or about to be deceased.
Freedom fighters, insurgents, rebels, enemy, enemy of the state, soldiers, troops, terrorists, etc.
Collateral damage even works, when they miss their mark/target.
Bipedal earthling artists. Dead. And no justice is being served. Hmmm. Why, because it falls under the guise of “National Security” rather “Corporate Security” as for just a few thousand or hundred thousand deaths, the bottom line can continue to stay oily black.
All the way down to the local level, where under the guise of to “Protect and Serve”, murder is justified by the “state” because someone just “looked” guilty. Usually based on the degree of epidermis, light reflectivity.
As long as it is apparent the criterion is malleable for how we behave. Let us at least, change the internal rules so as not to follow the hate and discrimination guidelines set forth by the illusionary powers that be into playing the game they want us to play.
