Years ago, visited the White House
It did not seem very big then
Returned recently and
It seems much smaller now
.
Where this was “supposed” to stop
.
Like a set on a movie studio lot
A large prop of make believe
Oops..
OK it stopped, part two is
Representative Democracy
.
Part 3 is
.
Sort Of Random Tangent
Part 2 of Diminutive
.
So much for representative democracy
If you have never been there*, it is now
“Guarded” by the not so “Secret Service”
Toting what appears to be A K 4 D 7’s
Right before you go through a double
Airport type screening of your person
At least you get to keep your shoes on
The Capitol wasn’t nearly as bad, however
The just us, oh I meant the “Justice” dept.
Had a dozen or more secret service
Cloistering the steps on just one side
Toting their penis of choice proving
Who’s in control of “peaceful assembly”
And who’s not, oh yeah “The People”
.
The halls of power
Are being “protected”
By the “smalls” of power
“Less bullets, more brains.
The strong don’t need guns.
Guns are the tools of the weak.
This is true
If you disagree with me,
it’s okay, you’re wrong.”
– Henry Rollins
.
* The White House
Following is part 3
Sort Of Random Tangent
Part 3 of Diminutive
.
True leadership
Would be making sure
Every belly was full
That every planetary
Resident has clean
Drinking water
Roofs over their heads
Access to health care
Think we can’t afford it
I’m no mathematician but
Pretty sure if we transferred
All the resources feeding
The military industrial complex
We could probably just do
What that one book suggests
Something about beating
Those swords into plowshares
Not accepting the
Manufactured Consent
Notion of leadership
That the more you can
Wield your power
In the face of decency
The more you can
Build a wall / pass legislation
To keep people out
Rebuild the doomsday machine
Though it is
Completely unnecessary
Save the comic book or
Austin Powers movie scene
Bit where Dr. Evil
Ransoms annihilation
For a “million” dollars aspect
Of dominion over all
Just because you can
And sheep
Need a flock master

“Evolution is slow, small pox is fast”

“How, then, do terrorists manage to dominate the headlines and change the political situation throughout the world?
By provoking their enemies to overreact. In essence, terrorism is a show. Terrorists stage a terrifying spectacle of violence that captures our imagination and makes us feel as if we are sliding back into medieval chaos.
Consequently states often feel obliged to react to the theatre of terrorism with a show of security, orchestrating immense displays of force, such as the persecution of entire populations or the invasion of foreign countries.
In most cases, this overreaction to terrorism poses a far greater threat to our security than the terrorists themselves.
Terrorists are like a fly that tries to destroy a china shop. The fly is so weak that it cannot budge even a single teacup. So it finds a bull, gets inside its ear and starts buzzing. The bull goes wild with fear and anger, and destroys the china shop.”
“The Homo Deus”
“A Brief History Of Tomorrow”
– Yuval Noah Harari
In the short attention span theatre
While we are looking in the direction
Of where the finger is pointing
We miss who is pointing or why
Hmm, shiny new object shiny
Pretty loud bright oooh aaaah
Awwwe I’ve lost my ability to
Think to reason and to just be
Everybody’s concern is my concern
My concern is I don’t understand
Editorials proclamations op eds
Headlines breaking news scoops
Circling around in whip and puree
That the humanity has spun out
Regardless, mushy paste remains
The gears whir, the sharp blades cut
Confusion is mixed with distraction
And still we watch with hands in the air
Surrendering our self to the machine
A cog in the wheel of consumption
Corruption pollution destruction etc
All because of a few talking heads
Instilled in us an us vs them attitude
That is not innate within our being
What once was information presented
Yesterday flag draped coffins arrived
From the land of South East Asia while
Protesters were shot at Kent State
And “That’s the way it was” on x day.
Today death is hardly news without
A scapegoat to blame or side fingered
Days of info reduced to a sound bite
Not even a talking point to discuss
Just a nugget cute & compartmentalized
Tuckered away, prepped for 2 minutes hate
Now unless information presented fits
The narrow scope of deceptive percepts
It blandly dissolves into fake news again
Which “should” teach us to trust our heart
Look inside to determine what is “real”
Then behave or react accordingly to evolve
Make our brief time here worthwhile so
When we come back we will not have
Nearly as much work to do to fix anything
In seconds of pressing a relatively 98 degree finger on a durable micro thin piece of glass over à corresponding “button”, then having funds transferred from your account to the airlines.
You can instantly receive a qr code appear on your phone. Which will allow you to travel anywhere, as far as I know.
All you have to do is drive to the airport, drop off your bags, que yourself in a tedious line, like sheep to a slaughter.
Walk through a contraption that puts you in a position of faux torture, after being made more vulnerable by removing your shoes.
To let you know who’s in control, that you are subject and subjugated to their whims. Oh wait it is to make sure it is safe for everyone to fly. That’s it.
Neither decency or concern for your being or anxiety. Subject only to their subjective interpretation of their rules.
“Airport security is a stupid idea, it’s a waste of money, and it’s only there for one reason, to make white people feel safe.
That’s all. The illusion, the feeling and illusion of safety cause the authorities know they can’t make an airplane completely safe; too many people have access.”
– George Carlin
To then board a plane to your destination.
After all that, what we don’t have, is the wherewithal to realize it would be much more efficient to board an airplane by seating the passengers towards the back of the aircraft first.
Probably due to the arrogance either by the passenger or the staff, that if your seat assignment is a lower number, somehow you get to go on first.
Making it a race between assholes and elbows to find your seat on the plane bumping against everybody, had they followed you would not have happened.
Even “first” class who could have been comfortably sitting in a seat till it was “their” turn to board. The airplane is going to land or crash regardless who got on first.
As I write this I suspect it is a ploy to kill time while the luggage gets to the plane.
Unfortunately the masses of the flying public myself included are willing to continue to accept this practice. Just because “that’s the way it is “.
Happy Flying
It was not Brett Kavanaugh
Or Christine Blasey Ford
That were technically on trial
Rather the two halves of
Society at large at this time
Manifestations of yin and yang
Pawns in a game of distraction
From our intended evolution
Archetypes we must recognize
So we can free ourselves from
The same rut we get stuck in
Sacrificing our power to power
Knowing that woman and man
Males and females girls and boys
All come from the same place
One place………..Mothers
And should be recognized as such
Whether the seed was
Planted mistakenly (usually the case)
(Accidentally does not apply)
Or with loving intention that
Two people are going to take
The infinitely responsible task
Of nurturing and guiding this
Limitless capability being that
Just traversed time and space
To be a citizen of the world
Regardless of gender or race
One that doesn’t have to fail/fail
To his aggressive tendencies
Excused as boys will be boys
Nor being a fragile princess
That “needs” to be protected
Cause society deems that role
Upon the future may be mother
Lots of work to do
Let us start now
Or darkness
Of the new
SCOTUS
A new
Statue of Lady Justice
Has been commissioned
The blindfold is gone
The scales are tipped over
She is lying on her back
A swimsuit under the robe
With a hand over her mouth
Shadowed by men laughing
Displayed in Gilead Square
.
“See The Woman”
See the woman
She has a young face
An old face
She carries herself well
In all ages
She survives all man has done
In some tribes she is free
In some religions
She is under man
In some societies
She’s worth what she consumes
In some nations
She is delicate strength
In some states
She is told she is weak
In some classes
She is property owned
In all instances
She is sister to earth
In all conditions
She is life bringer
In all life she is our necessity
See the woman eyes
Flowers swaying
On scattered hills
Sundancing calling in the bees
See the woman heart
Lavender butterflies
Fronting blue sky
Misty rain falling
On soft wild roses
See the woman beauty
Lightning streaking
Dark summer nights
Forests of pines mating
With new winter snow
See the woman spirit
Daily serving courage
With laughter
Her breath a dream
And a prayer
– John Trudell
Not so you’d notice though
Listening to your fox friends
Or friends ‘fluenced by Fox
As their dubious diatribes on
Facebook, framed from faux
Jeremiad journalists gesticulating
Repeated and regurgitated
(Apparently thinking on
Their own, is a bad idea.)
** Side Note see below
That they will only accept
Kavanaugh’s re-investigation
If Hillary’s 30k emails, Bengazi
And uranium sales are investigated
As a recalculation to see if
Two wrongs do make a right
Was it Shakespeare who said
“Thou dost protest to much”
Playing right into the newly clothed
Emperor’s wish, that his subjects
Keep fighting amongst themselves
While he continues his power grab
A self confessed sexual assaulter
Who could give less than a #uck
About his would be defenders
Knowing at anytime he would
Turn against them as he already has
With the illusionary tax breaks
That benefited his wealthy buddies
Who needs his boy Brett in place so
He may be cleared of criminal charges
When the Muller report is presented
I’m not just picking on the Donald
“My problem is with (huh, huh) authority.”
– Lewis Black
.
So of course HRC should be investigated
Likewise her and Obama and others for their conspiring and executing the assassination of a foreign leader. Just a tad unconstitutional.
Same goes for George Bush, for initiating an unjust war, killing thousands of Americans and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis. When the alleged perpetrators (scapegoats) were in Afghanistan
Using biblical tactics like “Either you’re with us (God), or you’re against us (God)”.
Manipulating an easily swayed populace.
Knowing that ;
“If you’re against the war,…….. it doesn’t mean, …….that you’re for the other side!”
– Lewis Black
Likewise Bill Clinton where his direct orders killed earthlings in Baghdad and Waco, Texas……Americans oopsie.
Before him, George H.W. Bush for using wmd’s in Kuwait for killing our fellow space travelers. Just for having oil under their feet.
After having listened to, plus watched the dvd of “The Prosecution of an American President” By Vincent Bugliosi
One quickly realizes, all the presidents *”should” be tried and prosecuted for all their crimes and war crimes
If we really wanted a transparent system of “justice” and to evolve past good and evil.
* There are no “should’s”, things are such as they are.
.
Here’s a waker-upper, while Google-ing info for this post by typing in Nuremberg Provisions. You come to realize there are international rules for war.
Hmmm, you would think if we have the audacity to write down what we can and can not do to each other. We could just as easily write down not to hurt anyone regardless, no??
Or simply write down. Make sure everyone is fed and has shelter. Duh!
“The pen is mightier than the sword.”
– Edward Bulwer-Lytton
The system is corrupt
To its core
It is just when it randomly
Leans in our favor
Do we conveniently
Turn a blind eye
Long enough to
Impede our evolution
Which through
Perpetual distraction
Of this or that and
Countless shiny objects
The whole hubbub is
Over a one of nine position
In an ineffective institution
That neither elevates or
Emboldens humanity
Merely positions
A very small group
Of mostly old white (pink) men
To be in a “place”
Of supremacy to
“Legally” determine
Essentially what rights
You have
I’ll let that sink in……….
Not of reason
Or compassion
Or evolution
Or even right or wrong
But “Supreme”
That just does not add up.
The following might
1 ascending step +
1 ascending step =
2 ascending steps
Towards evolutionary enlightenment
.
Let us take away their right to perform post natal abortions on out of the womb oxygen breathing 68th trimester fetuses.

Side note
.
Is it just me (for the briefest of time I can listen to that toxic talker, before my spine starts to curve and my soul twists) or is Laura Ingraham ready for the role of Aunt Lydia in the Gilead culture her vileness is making manifest for the Commander and the rest of his cronies who don’t like and or are afraid of women.
I don’t mean a role in the Netflix series “The Handmaid’s Tale” rather a societal position where she is in “power” to serve at the pleasure of the commander’s bidding by controlling the “brood mares” for the “state”. As only she can “think” for them.
I’m no psychologist, but it would appear (audibly) she may have some “daddy” issues.
Inconclusive vindication
Will be a dissonant feeling
Shared by those alike who
May or may not believe 45
Was in cahoots with Russia
Or just a guy on his couch
Add now China to obfuscate
Besides it won’t matter none
The proof is in the pudding
Opaquely infused coldly
In the gelatinous muck
Reality indistinguishable
From optimistic fantasy
That any truth will be known
Much like who killed JFK or
Was Pearl Harbor a war primer
By the Military Industrial Complex
As the Gulf of Tonkin incident
To justify more justification
Maybe landing on the moon was
Alien as Roswell New Mexico
Seeds of doubt sewn in Oklahoma
A wacky war waged in Waco Texas
Wondering why if no plane
Crashed in Shanksville PA
Or the pentagon for that matter
That the earth can not be flat
Blasted bee bees in Boston
Malevolent Mirage mayhem is
When what happens in Las Vegas
Leaves in caskets and mystery
All now evidentially unprovable
So why should we expect different
With “new” questionable events
Because a likeable broadcaster
Said so, in convincing tone and smile
Someone dig up Walter Cronkite
Or bad broadcaster unconvincing
In shouts and on the take as well
Without having a rip tear occur
In the space time continuum and
Freidrich Nietzsche appears, to say;
“There are no facts, only interpretations.”
Now we know that so why do we care
Maybe to realize it says more about us
Than the events that have occurred
What would we do in metaphorical
Situations, participate or prevent
Gaining hindsight is useless
Unless we use it to our advantage
Will conclude with that conviction
That the “key” witness
In Kavanaugh’s alleged
Sexual Assult claim
Last name is Judge
# Why I Didn’t Report
.
If this keeps going
He is going to be a description
And people will understand
.
# I’ve been Kavanaugh’d
Looking at the world through a windshield.
