This is a little splatter shot, hoping collectively it makes sense.
“Respecting the Rights of the Mothers”
Is a phrase often heard of women advocating control over their own bodies. To which I (w)holeheartedly support.*
Where you don’t hear that phrase in respecting the right’s of the mother is for those who have already birthed their children.
The ones that don’t want some arbitrary abortion doctor (police officer) to kill their out of the womb growing fetus growing up or growing older.
The latest high profile one being “June 16, 54-year-old Eric Jack Logan, who is black, was fatally wounded by white South Bend Police Sgt. Ryan O’Neill”
– “The Indy Star”
Since the body cameras were “off”, his only “crime” may have been bringing a knife to a gun fight. (A knife, to a gun fight) geez.
“Boy, these conservatives are really something, aren’t they? They’re all in favor of the unborn. They will do anything for the unborn. But once you’re born, you’re on your own.”

“If you’re preborn, you’re fine; if you’re preschool, you’re fucked.”
– George Carlin
Or “pre” social security. Eric was 54.
“Unless you are a preborn person protected by placenta, you are expendable in the eyes of society.”
– Author
Likewise, if you’re pre college, you may be plucked, into a taxpayer funded gang where patriotism is your leader and nationalism is your code.
“Nationalism does nothing but teach you to hate people you never met, and to take pride in accomplishments you had no part in.”
– Doug Stanhope
As Bolton gears up to get his team of doctors to perform thousands of post natal abortions in a country “womb” that if we left them alone, would leave us alone.
Because his parental/societal upbringing needs a scapegoat to project the elimination of his insecurities.
I imagine the Iranians love their children too.
Remember Sting’s “Russians”
Same theory applies.
.
Here is where it is a double edged forceps.
If the goal is to save every fetus, it should apply to (ootw) out of the womb fetuses.
Otherwise it becomes a wait and see indoctrination process of who gets aborted by state power, depending on geography, taught beliefs and fear of epidermis hues.
Sooner rather than later the technology will pass the point where through DNA testing of fetus it will be determined that it will grow up and out to be someone who kills somebody else.
In order to prevent that future killing will be aborted now, instead of hereafter. Objectively the same thing, no?
Just think, an entire planet where people only die of old age, because all the killers would have been killed.

Besides knowing with absolute certainty I would have been a horrific biological parent.
I made it so that would never be a decision on my plate by never planting any seeds in any fertile garden.
Yes, that went outrageously out of my way to be able to throw my two cents in on a ridiculous argument.
Usually triggered by dichotomous hypocrisy and some wired or programming need to point out the obvious.
The question always is
What is okay to reveal
.
“Winston kept his back turned to the telescreen. It was safer, though, as he well knew, even a back can be revealing. (1.1.6)
Fear runs so deep in Winston that he fancies that, by turning his back on a telescreen, his rebellious spirit may be sniffed out.”
“1984”
– George Orwell
.
Yet every pretzeled pixel
Is a revelation of sorts
To whom nobody knows
Nor that it matters anyway
Since we all are all one
Or at least so I have heard
Seems very highly likely as
Separation is an illusion
In that we may experience
Life as brilliant individual
Loving sparks of the divine
Too much information
About re re reincarnation
Leaving us to doubt
What life is all about
If we’ve been here before
Yet can not remember
Then what is the point
For hanging around this joint
Only to do it again
Is it to experience pain
A sense that we can feel
To understand what is real
Joys too keep repeating
Those seem more fleeting
I’ve heard it was to serve
That takes a lot of nerve
So many recipients
Very few participants
Practicing giving reciprocity
When all you hear is me me me
Serving could be a lie
Yet probably worth a try
No better an alternative
All options being relative
Either way we will go
Might as well enjoy the show
Making someone else smile
Is worth going the extra mile

“Infinite Dreams”
“Help me. Help me to find my true
Self without seeing the future
Save me, save me from torturing
Myself even within my dreams
There’s got to be just more to it than this
Or tell me why do we exist
I’d like to think that when I die
I’d get a chance another time
And to return and live again
Reincarnate, play the game
Again and again and again.”

– Iron Maiden
In the mirror of who I am
Only the appearance of
The shell of a soul carrier
Lost in the vacuum
A vampire of inquiry
Drawing from
Empty vessels
A glitch in the glitch
In the glitchy matrix
Floating in a
Concentric bubble
Above a narcissistic pool
Reality undefined
An anomalous apparition
That can be seen through
As easily as the glass
Covering the shiny silver
Of absolutely no depth
Only a veneer of substance
Yet somewhere at the end
Glancing into the abyss
Of an infinite mirror
There is a spark
Of the divine

The intro and outro of
“If Eternity Should Fail”
– Iron Maiden
Puts a graceful period
At the end of this post

“Here is the soul of a man
Here in this place for the taking
Clothed in white, stand in the light
Here is the soul of a man
Time to speak with the shaman again
Conjure the jester again

What humanity I knew
I have long forgotten
For me eternity is nothing
But a short while”
From
“If Eternity Should Fail”
– Iron Maiden
The picture is way too big
Viewed with tunnel vision
Seeing the tree in the forest
After turning a blind eye
Afflicted with myopia
Seeing double of nothing
Focusing on the blur
Through incorrective lenses
Lit by a flash in the pan
“Looking through the eyeglass
In reverse” * seems perverse
By eyes in the back of my head
Besides squinting the third eye
I catch a glimpse
Of understanding
Refracting dark light
In a prism of our own making
Invisible incongruencies
Which is what happens when
A cyclops catches your eye
It is impossible to frame
The big picture

Fear not the bogeyman

Fear the bogey words

Socialism
.
AHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
.
Context context
.
Socialism for the wealthy
Ignored yet encouraged
Allegedly grown men and women working in factories building wmd’s that will never be used. Because collectively, we’ve silently agreed to that.
But, heh it is okay to spend hundreds of billions of dollars wasting the earth’s resources to keeping people employed (enslaved) trying to keep ahead of the Jones’s. Plus, if you think $500 hammers ceased during the Reagan administration, you’ve got another think coming.
A defense contractor with lobbyists in and out of both pockets spending billions of dollars on wmd’s easily profits all around under the bigger bogey word “National Security”.
Because another bi-pedal oxygen breathing, monoxide exhaling, red-blooded, skeleton supported, solar powered, carbon-based, large brained, earth inhabitant omnivores has been given a moniker that incites fear simply because they might be wearing a different hat. Or believe in a different invisible man in the sky depending largely on geography. Hmmm?
“You ever notice that? Any time you see two groups of people who really hate each other, chances are good they’re wearing different kind of hats. Keep an eye on that, it might be important.”
– George Carlin
Socialism for the poor
Abhorred and restricted
.
Allegedly grown men and women treating other grown men and women differently because society has indoctrinated into its consciousness a caste system of the haves and the have not’s. Which if it didn’t exist no one would know otherwise.
Not very familiar with the fellow, however, have heard that Jesus dude helped and advocated helping the poor. Could be wrong, perhaps it was “fake” news.
Wouldn’t that be the thing to do, in an allegedly “Christian” nation? Instead of worrying about paving the streets with gold. Create a system where everyone is fed, has clean drinking water and reasonably sheltered. Wouldn’t that elevate everyone? Just asking, for my friend Donald.
“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.”

Think of all the bogey words that have frightened the masses in the past, then pause for a moment to realize how ineffective it is in the pursuit of enlightenment, peace and happiness.
“Trump’s Lies Matter”
– Bumper sticker
.
Rorschach truth
Open to interpretation
Using think blots
Of
Blatant misinformation
Indecipherable blurs
Malleable interpretations
Blended realities
Muddled clarity
Accurate fuzziness
As concrete as quicksand
Vaguely verified
Delivered deceptively
By 45 / “Individual One”
That and the guy
Can’t speak
I’ve never heard a more
Rudimentary adolescent
Staccato delivery
Of stumped speech
So “BIG” and “GREAT”
Rather
“BAD” and “VERY BAD”
If not intentionally
Meant to deceive
Surely ends up that way
How can anyone
Say one thing one minute
Then contradict it
In the next minute
Or a week later
Without having pundits
Available to interpret
Dissect and disseminate
Dopey dialogue into
Malleable musings
That serve each
Their own purpose
And aggrandizing agendas
To distract and direct
Their intended
Flocks to follow
Down a dead end road
To the slaughterhouse of 45
“Americans, like human beings everywhere,
Believe many things that are obviously untrue.”
― Kurt Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse-Five
.
This stemmed from an at work situation of management misinformation where I made a loose lipped kind comment to a fellow coworker that Sarah Huckabee Sanders could work for us now to decipher our reality of impending job changes and who will be doing what.
Without skipping a beat, ignoring my intention pointing out her rearranging 45’s words into what “he meant to say”. The coworker went right to that he understood why she was quitting for constantly having to defend Trump’s truths because they were/are true.
“President Trump has made 9,451 false or misleading claims over 801 days.”
– Washington Post
Just for fun, since some of those “false or misleading claims” are redundant. (Repeating a lie doesn’t make it any more true. Unless you ask Hitler.)
Let’s say 20% are absolutely verifiable by both democrats, republicans and independents.
From the most outrageous (crowd size) to the benign (Tim “Cook” Apple). That means 45 has lied one thousand eight hundred and ninety 1,890 times since being elected, that is 2.3 per day.

That is not leadership by any standard that would measure it as such.
Wheels
Can not spin fast enough
To wrap my head around
Advantages ways to profit
Financially or otherwise
Off of the “new norm”
That has capitulated society
Into accepting
Celebrity leadership
Wealthy socialism
Blatant intolerance
Duplicitous doublespeak
Transparent collusion
Greed and power
Because when one
Reflects back
At the perceived end
The above will not have
Been greater than
Nurturing guidance
Understanding differences
Acute communication
Overall forgiveness
Widespread acceptance
Kindness and sharing
Helping and healing
Peace and love

“Watching The Wheels”
– John Lennon
.
People say I’m crazy doing what I’m doing
Well they give me all kinds of warnings to save me from ruin
When I say that I’m o.k. they look at me kind of strange
Surely you’re not happy now you no longer play the game
People say I’m lazy dreaming my life away
Well they give me all kinds of advice designed to enlighten me
When I tell that I’m doing Fine watching shadows on the wall
Don’t you miss the big time boy you’re no longer on the ball?
I’m just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go
People asking questions lost in confusion
Well I tell them there’s no problem
Only solutions
Well they shake their heads and they look at me as if I’ve lost my mind
I tell them there’s no hurry…
I’m just sitting here doing time
I’m just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go
There are no enemies
Foreign or domestic
Inter or extraterrestrial
It is just us
Like your family
Driving in a car
With no place to go
Or perhaps
An amusement park
Either way the intent
Is to also have fun
Going along the route
A metaphorical
Correlation to the
Spaceship we are
On and in now
With no place to go
Save hurling through
The cosmos
Through we may
Not know
Where we’re going
We are all still
In this together
No borders
Only atmosphere
To protect us
Not an oath
Recited rhetorically
From an
Outdated map
Getting us nowhere
Yet since
Time does not exist
Will we ever realize
We have no enemies

I must wait for the sunrise
I must think of a new life and

Trying to recall
Synthesized memories
From a potential past
Catching glimpses
Of nurture
Versus nature
Between a bevy of
Behavioral modifications
Erased emotions
Saved as anger
Perceiving truths
In a lair of lies
Reflecting in a
Narcissistic pool
Of dammed
Up tears
Drowning in
Dichotomy
Grasping at the
Sinking life preserver
Of the future
Clinging to the
Buoyant death
Of the past

“Sometimes when I feel the anger
Sometimes when I’m all alone
Sometimes when I feel surrounded
Like all the doors are closed
I feel like I’ve been a prisoner
I feel like I’ve been a tool
Let people try to judge me
When they’re not in my shoes
I’ve lived on my knees
Trying to please
It’s time to change”

“Wildest Dreams”
“I’m gonna organize
Some changes in my life
I’m gonna exorcise
The demons of my past
I’m gonna take the car and
Hit the open road
I’m feeling ready to
Just open up and go
And I just feel I can be anything
That all I might ever wish to be
And fantasize just what I want to be
Make my wildest dreams come true
//
When I remember back to
How that things just used to be
And I was stuck inside
A shroud of misery
I felt I’d disappeared
So deep inside myself
I couldn’t find a way
To break away my hell
When I’m feeling down and low
I vow I’ll never be the same again
I just remember what I am
And visualize just what I’m gonna be
