We Should Thank 45

WARNING: Dark all the way through

Until Hicks and Carlin shine their light

We should thank 45 for his success

Of completely discombobulating

The system of alleged democracy

Peeling away its imperialistic layers

Only to discover there is not any

“We The People” at its inner core

Just empty words as a hologram

Projected on a screen of delusion

That those three words inspire unity

If everyone would just think like one

When they only divide and conquer

Fooly examined in content and context

Reveals that if you dare to look close

Exposing wizards w/o brains heart or courage

It manifests no forfeiture of power save

The fraction it takes convincing otherwise

Matters not administration first last or next

It is all a ruse to keep most everyone docile

Impotent and tearing at their tortured soul

Where until all are housed educated and fed

Provided clean water & treated with dignity

After an intuitive reduction of seeds planted

Nurturing the rest as self divine beings

To heal and honor the loving host

The show that you enjoy watching

The ride that you keep on riding

Will continue until you are dead

Then dead again again and again

(It is safe to assume the above could use

Some grammatical polish but give or take

That is how it flowed from my fingertips)

“The world is like a ride in an amusement park. And when you choose to go on it, you think it’s real because that’s how powerful our minds are. And the ride goes up and down and round and round. It has thrills and chills and it’s very brightly coloured and it’s very loud and it’s fun, for a while.
Some people have been on the ride for a long time and they begin to question, is this real, or is this just a ride? And other people have remembered, and they come back to us, they say, “Hey — don’t worry, don’t be afraid, ever, because, this is just a ride…”
And we… kill those people.
“Shut him up.”
“We have a lot invested in this ride. Shut him up. Look at my furrows of worry. Look at my big bank account and my family. This just has to be real.”
Just a ride. But we always kill those good guys* who try and tell us that, you ever notice that? And let the demons run amok. But it doesn’t matter because:
“It’s just a ride. And we can change it anytime we want. It’s only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings and money. A choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love, instead, see all of us as one.”
Here’s what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride. Take all that money that we spend on weapons and defences each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace.”

“Did you ever notice who it is? Stop to think who it is we kill? It’s always people who’ve told us to live together in harmony and try to love one another.

Jesus, Gandhi, Lincoln, John Kennedy, Bobby Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Medgar Evers, Malcolm X, John Lennon, they all said, “Try to live together peacefully.”
BAM! Right in the fucking head. Apparently we’re not ready for that.”
