“I love words. I thank you for hearing my words.”
– George Carlin
.
The more I play with words
The more fun I have with them
Particularly in sense them
Order to make arranging a
.
Here they are presented in
I believe one dimension
Just a blackish gray pixel
Against a white background
With no sound
Certainly not my voice
Technically it is my “voice”
Though the reader is
“Hearing” it in their voice
Or speed, read in
Their cadence, inflection or
EMPHASIS like SHOUTING
Realizing some readers
Will look back at the line
With two words in ALL CAPS
And wonder did their inner
Voice just silently SCREAM
Those words capitalized
Don’t read this again
KEEP READING
Please
.
Wonder if that worked
I’ll never know
I am barely in my own head
Let alone yours
However the reverse
Is not true, no matter
How small, if I could
Reduce the font
Would you lower a voice
You can not already “hear”
Lest of course I wrote
Ssssshhhuuuuuh
As if Ewm errr Fuwwwd
Was about to keeewll a
Waaaabbeet
The young uns reading this
Might have to Google
Elmer Fudd Rabbit quiet
For that to make sense
Making this my first
Interactive blog post
So you can have fun
Playing with words
.
“In your own words.” You know you hear that a lot in a court room. Or a classroom, they’ll say “tell us… in your own words.”
“Do you have your own words? Hey, I’m using the ones everyone else has been using!
Next time they tell you to say something in your own words, say “Niq fluk bwarney quando floo!”

A Starless Night
.
Exponentiates the
Gratitude and appreciation
Of a moonless
Starry night
.
.
The memory ‘minder
Must manifest that
Always beyond the clouds
Are the not, so “tiny stars”
.
.
Rather the billions and
Billions of recurring
Nuclear explosions
Radiating heat and light
.
So incredibly far away
They appear as small
Temporary twinkles
Illuminating imaginations
.
The fun part is seeing the
Thicker concentration of
Brilliance knowing which way
You’re standing in the Milky Way
.
While one could think
Insignificance, which is true
Still can also treasure
Experiencing the divine
.
No place to start
No words to describe
Without using words
To describe words
Other than definitions
Made up of words
That are made up
Seemingly from
No where
Which are
Now here
Might as well use them
From the twenty six letters
That are made up as well
Knowing there were not
Always twenty six
Strange I know
With some being used
More than others
Zee (Z) and ecks (X) are
Practically useless
Still they are there
And are as necessary
When needed
Though sometimes
X (ecks) sounds like Z (zee)
Whew
That ended up being
A longer intro then planned
However brings me to a word
Keep hearing bantered
About as if it is critical
To the collective’s
Daily lives
.
Justice
.
Being surrounded by
Similar words
Like
Judge, judge and judged
.
Justice
.
A word defined
Without definition
Really
.
Really
Could it be defined
More vague
Which is clearly delineated
Then the vagueness of
Justice :
a : the maintenance or administration of what is just especially by the impartial adjustment of conflicting claims or the assignment of merited rewards or punishments
– m-w.com
Yet like breakfast
We anticipate it being
“Served”
To those whom
Appear it is deserved
Meted out
In a “just”
Fashion
A biblical hand me down
Useless as holey shoes
Neither whole nor holy
Executed by those in power
With those in cahoots
Right there in black and white
Not even a play on words, as
A “Criminal Justice System”
Inherent in the “Rule of Flaw”
To satisfy all participants
Even though it
Won’t be
.
Merely by perspective
Usually by
Social position
Say # 45 or
Money in the bank
(“Half penny, two penny
Ashes to dust
The almighty dollar says
“In God we trust”
Justice for money
How much more can I pay
We all know it’s the American Way
“Half Penny, Two Penny”
– Styx)
Mainly
Perceived money in the bank
Epidermis
And visible light
Reflecting spectrum
Defined by
Melanin content
Against snow contrast
Also it is
Not what you know
But who you know
On minds it will gnaw
Can you say Kavanaugh
Is that justice?*
Because he’s a Justice
Maybe a game changer
Pronounced Whitaker
Or just
Something “we”
Made up
(“Pretty neat deal, huh?
You know how we got it?
We made the whole
#ucking thing up! //
Aren’t we versatile?!”
– George Carlin)
Not sure if the following
Is true
However
Once heard of a
Society or culture
That did not experience
Pain
Simply because they
Didn’t have a
Word
For it
This one has
Justice
With soooo many
Individual interpretations
Its meaning is as
Watered-down
As the BP oil spill
Its malleable content
Drowned in context
“That is because there is
A lot of water in the ocean.”
– Carlos Mencia
So since there is
No place to start
Might as well treat it
Like eating
The elephant in the room
With the turd in the punch bowl
Start with
One bite at a time
Slowly accept that the
System needs
Transformation
Towards
Compassion and forgiveness
Guidance and understanding
Healing and growing
Insight and enlightenment
Technocracy and meritocracy
Sharing and recycling
And with one last act
Of violence for now and
Forever
Beat those swords
Into plow shares
Then we will have
Justice for all

“It is interesting to note that those who most frequently call for fair play are those who are advantaged by the play as it currently is.
And that only when the position of privilege is in danger, are they likely to benefit from the change required to “play by the rules”.”

Fortunately or unfortunately my job affords me the opportunity to listen to a lot of mostly satellite radio. With an unhealthy gravitational pull towards the “news”. Partly for information, chiefly for the entertainment. Always for deception.

After doing the dial dance between MSNBC and FAUX realized each of them are beating a different dead horse.
MSNBC has colon to cranium coverage on hoping, not hoping 45 gets in some trouble, just not too much trouble otherwise they’ll have to search out clever content to keep consumers coming.
FAUX covers everything on 45 from foot to follicle favorably fawning over Forrest Trump. Still hovering over Hillary. (Hey a$$#@£=s) she lost. Mostly playing to an audience of one, plus republican racists.
We ignore
The actual history
Usually at our own peril
Because nostalgia feels
Better than the reality
Of the turmoil we are
Currently experiencing

“No Ed, that motherfucker? He’s still alive man!” “Get him outta here!”

Much like GWHB, a well meaning asshole.
“A (Persian Gulf) war? Wasn’t really a war, you know, a war, is when two armies are fighting, so, I don’t know if you could call it a war, exactly, you know.
The Persian Gulf Distraction, is more like it, I think.
Pretty amazing thing, really. Bush turned out to be a major demon, who woulda guessed?
Remember when he was first president, he was the “Wimp President.” Do you remember that?
Cover of Newsweek . . . . “WIMP PRESIDENT.” *
Apparently, this stuck in this guy’s craw a little bit. That guy was a dynamite waiting to go off.
//
We hope you enjoyed your fireworks show. It was so pretty, and it took our mind off of domestic issues! The Persian Gulf distraction.

And the amazing thing obviously is the disparity in the casualties. Iraq, 150,000 casualties. USA: 79.
Iraq: 150,000. USA: 79.
Does that mean if we’d sent over 80 guys we still could have won that … thing or what? One guy in a tickertape parade.”

Not one to give 45 any props, will give him an atta boy, seeing as how to my best awareness he has not ordered any of “his” troops to kill anyone.
Even his little Syrian stunt, only destroyed a few planes, the border bupkus was more comical and farcical then fatal.
So it is good to see, death and dismemberment is not his forte, rather just distraction and deceit in the dichotomous days of devolution.
I guess the political puppeteers finally figured out, that through wars, skirmishes, police actions, (since the stage show is on a global scale) when anyone is killed, they lose consumers. Plus indentured servants to make more consumables.
Lest of course, they have to occasionally gin up some work for the grave diggers and casket makers. Keep ’em all from switching jobs. To be ready, in case we really need them.

Following is part 2 Ignore This Addendum
Part 2 of We Ignore
.
Ignore this addendum, it barely has anything to do with “We Ignore”
.
There is a bedsheet manufacturer out there that likes to tout its product as being so comfortable even 3 US presidents sleep on them.
Of course they don’t say which ones. Or if (since they don’t) it is even true. Curious if one was GHWB though, if now they’ll change their ad?
It is an ad heard on every commercial station on satellite radio (that is a lot of ads) daily.
Of course they have hyperbolized the shit out of their product so much so and jacked the prices so high(need a lot of margin to pay for all those ads) they can offer you $50.00 off on a product that anywhere else, would retail for about that much. Despite what is claimed otherwise.
$250 sheets – $50 = $200 which is still about $150 more than I’d pay for sheets.
However, the “presidential” claim is quite the catching contemplation. If someone who can sleep at all with that many deaths on their consciousness they must be some pretty good #ucking sheets.
Ironically what is being sold is not sheets, rather the intangible concept of a better sleep. Am not impressed, for I could probably fall asleep standing up at a rock concert.
However, like the candy bars near the check out, because people see (hear) it so often it becomes an irrational impulse buy.
Very irrational, prompted by the extra push, if the sheets don’t live up to the hype, you can send them back for a fool refund. (Yeah right.)
Not saying people won’t get a refund, the likelihood is, no one is sending anything back. So now you live with the regret, realizing that.
A.) No retailers are selling $250 sheet sets. B.) Who cares if the presidents can sleep, that is their karma. C.) Your “old” sheets were fine. D.) Maybe those “spendy” pillows or “space” material mattresses will help you sleep.
Now that you have that number newly memorized 1 800 GET FLUFFED

You’re on a 16-day streak on Looking at the world through a windshield.!
$#!+, I don’t have anything for day 17
This will have to suffice until tomorrow.
The feeling you get
When cresting a hill
On an ice covered road
Seeing a coworker
In the breakdown lane
Hazards flashing
Not in any danger
But stuck
Could be the ice
Could be the tractor
Quickly assessing the situation
Knowing if you stop
You will be stuck too
Compounding the problem
The pangs of guilt
Slowly disappear realizing
If that were you, you
Wouldn’t want them
To stop either
Finish your shift
Return to work
12 hours later
Hear them telling
Their tales of woe
In the dispatch office
Adding to the conversation
By saying
You saw them stuck
And was thinking
About helping
But
#uc@ you
Which gets a good laugh
But deep deep inside
You wonder
Did you break
The final straw
To a last nerve
That is about to snap
Or was it received
In good fun
And more banter
Like that
Can be added to
The work place
This is where I’m left
Utterly helpless
Winning
At all cost
Is not winning
.
It is
At
“All”
“Cost”
