In a recent post, “Shame”

It dawned on me that I wrote

That I, too, have done nothing

To make this a better world by

Having started or participated

In a peaceful revolution as it goes

Which is unfortunately very true



However, I realized I did do something

By not doing anything to add more

People to an already over-full planet

No one to waste her resources

Exponentially excremental

Pollute her ground or breathable air

Cut off her hair (trees) or dig deep

To (mine) every last drop of energy



“Her love rains down on me
As easy as the breeze
I listen to her breathing
It sounds like the waves on the sea

I was thinking all about her,
Burning with rage and desire
We were spinning into darkness
The earth was on fire

She could take it back,
She might take it back someday

So I spy on her, I lie to her,
I make promises I can not keep
Then I hear her laughter rising,
Rising from the deep

And I make her prove her love for me,
I take all that I can take
And I push her to the limit
To see if she will break

She might take it back,
She could take it back someday

Now I have seen the warnings,
Screaming from all sides
It’s easy to ignore them and
God knows I’ve tried

All of this temptation,
It turned my faith to lies
Until I couldn’t see the danger
Or hear the rising tide

She can take it back,
She will take it back someday
She can take it back,
She will take it back someday
She can take it back,
She will take it back someday. “

– Pink Floyd

Therefore, I did not add anyone to

Roll over, click, cut, copy, paste, and

Indoctrinate with my beliefs, which

May be completely wackadoodle or

Thoroughly reasonable and questioning

To teach one to decipher and compete

With other people’s beliefs of

Invisible men living in the sky

Causing constant consternation

No proof, only persistent perception



No one who needed to pretend

Faux ownership in sports franchises

(“My”team” won the blah, blah, blah)

So they could “have” a team to

Argue endlessly and mindlessly

Over useless status statistics

Knowing more about the players

Than teachers or principals

Librarians, health classes, or

Practice financial well-being



Dodge bullets in an enclosed

Locked up space that probably

Spends more money on security than books

Modifying socially acceptable behavior

Instead of questioning for deep understanding

To advance a peaceable living world

That in the eons of infinity

Lasts only a brief moment




……… Neither that, or have to explain

Why another invisible dude, Santa Claus

Brings more stuff to rich kids than poor kids

Or have to clarify why being born through

The accident of birth on one part of a sphere

Has more credence than others because their

Flappy cloth rectangle stands for something

Different to everyone waving it, than other cloths




I write this neither to be

Boastful or proud


“Don’t be proud. Too much pride as it is.
Pride goeth before a fall. Never forget Proverbs.” (Proverbs 16:18)

– George Carlin


But rather, as a reflection of a

Deeply divine spiritual satisfaction

Knowing how much I accomplished

By doing absolutely nothing

To which there is no shame


“I know in Norway
You are all about the environment
You have a lot of stringent
Rules and regulations about recycling

Yeah! How many babies can you have?

As many as you want?

Then all the other shit…is pointless.”


– Doug Stanhope



Adding no one to believe

In a deceptive democracy

That their vote counts

When it is as much of a distraction

As football, the economy, or war

Race, sexuality, gender, or wealth








“My solipsistic worldview

Does not allow me to see

What may be real reality.”

– Angelo Devlin
