No One
Is going to “Protect”
The, our, or, any “border”
It is an imaginary line
Drawn on a piece of paper
In land acquisition games
Better known as wars
Or in more peaceful times
Considered “purchases”
“One Earth, one Mother
One does not sell the Earth
The people walk upon
We are the land
How do we sell our Mother ?
How do we sell the stars ?
How do we sell the air ?”
“Crazy Horse”
– John Trudell
Besides
Borders are like “rights”
“They’re imaginary. We made them up, like the Boogie Man, the Three Little Pigs, Pinocchio, Mother Goose, shit like that.
Rights are an idea. (Borders) They’re just imaginary. They’re a cute idea. Cute, but that’s all. Cute and fictional.”
– George Carlin
No one can protect something
That is imaginary
Anyone who says they can
Is a bullshit artist
Usually, a politician
Cashing in on wages and profits
By selling the public FEAR
Which unlike “walls” can not
Be gotten over or around
Without questioning what
They are told to be afraid of
Which are……..human beings
Aaaaggggggggghhhhhhhhhh
“Just look at all those hungry
Mouths we have to feed
Take a look at all the
Suffering we breed
So many lonely faces
Scattered all around
Searching for what they need.
Is this the world we created?
What did we do it for?
Is this the world we invaded
Against the law?
So it seems in the end.
Is this what we’re all living for today?
The world that we created.
You know that n
A helpless child is born
Who needs some loving care
Inside a happy home
Somewhere a wealthy man
Is sitting on his throne
Waiting for life to go by.
Is this the world we created?
We made it on our own.
Is this the world we devastated
Right to the bone?
If there’s a God in the sky looking down,
What can (S)he think of what we’ve done
To the world that (S)he created?”
“Is This The World We Created?”
– Queen
“Here’s what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride. Take all that money we spend on weapons and defenses (and walls) each year and instead, spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would pay for many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace.”
― Bill Hicks
Nah, the consumptive distraction is too much fun.
“I write to expunge the darkness so
That someday light may shine through”
