As if one had on a pair
Of virtual reality goggles
The clarity is incredible
It is like testing
A new pair of eyes
Go ahead and try it
First, by closing them
Never mind (Ooops)
Then you can not read this
It’s kind of like a reboot
Maybe after reading further
Without moving your head
Look up then down
As far as you can
Left then to the right
Is not what you see
Incredibly incredible
No external power is required
No hard plastic contraption
Pressed against your head
It is just reality as far
As the eyes can see
Paired quite uniquely with
Audio captured by ears
In sync with the vision
Add sensory touch with
Real hands with nerve endings
To feel heat or cold
Firmness or softness
Smooth or rough surfaces
Smells going through
Corresponding odors
Of a meal being cooked
Or a fresh cut tree that you
Can see, smell, and feel
Something gloves and a
Headset can not duplicate
“I have the most fun
Looking at the world
Through a windshield.”
– Angelo Devlin
Ought to at least occasionally
Be paired with one another
Otherwise one without the other
Does not really have a leg to stand on
Starting out with talking heads
Broadcast, cable, and podcasts
So one could understand why
They are opining the way they are
Usually, on the take to their focused
Perspective driving their dialog
Rachel Maddow supports the LGBTQ +
Because she identifies with that group
Tucker Carlson is in opposition of them
Probably due to some latent tendency
He is afraid to recognize therefore wants
To quell it in others to suppress it in himself
(I don’t know. I am merely editorializing)
Although, in fairness, I am not sure
If I could explain my growing belief
Which, for a while now, is always
All ways, being uncovered and discovered
(Years, actually, if one digs deep in this blog)
Like a divine archeologist searching
Questioning, digging, categorizing
Labeling, comparing, researching, testing
First, with shovels and pickaxes, then
Trowels, spoons, knives, brooms & brushes
Finer and finer so as not to disturb the sacred
For a constant, consistent universal truth
That not only works for me, but maybe
May be understood universally by others
Given enough linear time to sink in
As I, too, have not just accepted it
Overnight because I was told it is so
If a belief can be easily explained
It is not a belief, per se
It is a shared indoctrination
For example, if a person says: “I believe in God,”
It may be somewhat universal but completely vague
Especially when that gets questioned
Such as
“The sword of God, the blood of the lamb, vengeance is mine, millions of dead motherfuckers, all because they gave the wrong answer to the God question.
‘You believe in God?’
‘No.’
*BANG* Dead.
‘You believe in God?’
‘Yes.’
‘You believe in “MY” God?’
‘No.’
*Bang* Dead.
‘My God has a bigger dick than your God!’
That’s how it is, isn’t it?
Thousands of years, and all the best wars too, the bloodiest, most brutal wars fought all based on religious hatred, which is fine with me.
Anytime a bunch of holy people want to kill each other, I’m a happy guy.”
– George Carlin
Hopefully the following makes sense and is understandable
Knowing no one has to accept it as their own *
Plus, this belief, ought not get anyone killed
Here goes, after exhaustive research and discovery
God is the Word, all words
This even has Biblical backing
“In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
John 1:1
The Word already existed. Like water, always existing
No beginning, it was always there, right from
Before the “beginning” which could easily be
The “Higgs” ocean known as the God Particle
“In the beginning God (/Word) created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God (/Word) was hovering over the waters.”
Genesis 1 1-2
All words, every word, every thought, moment, space, time
Spacetime, molecules, truths, lies, religion, evil, love, war
Peace, gender, sex, mountain, valley, temperature, cold, hot
Sun, earth, galaxies, oceans, black holes, worm holes
Science, proof, hate, abundance, starvation, pain, silence
Chaos, politics, politicians, parties, football, distractions
Spirit, spirit of God, water, beginning, end, middle, stop, go
Prequel, sequel, music, lyrics, movies, Hollywood, actors
Extras, cut, karma, justice, Justices, court, TV, radio, waves
Medicine, health care, smoking, food, animals, pets, wild
Domesticated, edible, inedible, intelligent, loyal, on display
Drugs, rehabilitation, addiction, help, recovery, wagons
Caravans, immigrants, borders, natural, drawn, moved, walls
Penetrated, impenetrable, illegal, acceptable, foreign
Language, dialects, accents, regional, translation
Supreme, doubt, convincing, conniving, and questioning
Methinks, even an atheist could believe in the “Word(s)”
After all, an atheist’s existence and anti-belief depend on it
There are thoughtless words but no wordless thoughts
Therefore, the God/Word always all ways exist always
If you do find a thought less word, know then,
You are divinely connected to the source of all Words
Where all words are happening all at once
Word/s are like atoms. They make up everything, yet
Always changing sharing and sacrificing electrons
Protons, neutrons, quarks, while always existing
My holy book to back up this bizarre belief is the dictionary
(Even, meaningless, which should be blank, has a definition)
Yet any dictionary will do, and depending on the
Lexicographer or group who last edited the new version
To include new words, modify existing ones to
Ever shifting social usages, contractions, hyphens
Not to mention, if there were no printed editions
The word would continue on infinitely as it already has
For deep inside each individual, God/Words are understood
After all, God’s words are malleable and fluid as water
Freezing, boiling, steaming, evaporating, falling, flooding
All used to make stories and make up stories
(Like that one about the Ark with two of each species
On board to be saved from the flood, as the reader forgets
That “animals like to eat other animals” – Joe Rogan)
(There would be a few left, after forty days, let alone Noah)
To enhance each subjective perspective for each individual’s Experience in this and subsequent lifetimes**, challenging each Incarnate to live, love, laugh, accept, understand themselves
Therefore, our selves as we all continue to know “God” / “Word”
* If it becomes acceptable, then we will
Inevitably, form a group, then eventually a religion
Start to wear similar hats, find people who
Have no hats or different ones, then try and
Force them to wear our hats so we’ll accept them
“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
** lifetimes are like words. Their usage expires only to be
Remanifested later in a better version for clearer understanding
“The basic tool for the manipulation of reality is the manipulation of words. If you can control the meaning of words, you can control the people who must use them.”
― Philip K. Dick
“I never wish to be right,
Only to be understood,
If you have questioned
Your beliefs. Then maybe
I have done some good. “
– Angelo Devlin
On most beliefs, you can not get
A believer to disbelieve, nor can
You get an unbeliever to believe
That is because beliefs are
Made up from whole cloth
Regardless of proving fabrications
Most are merely indoctrinated
Repetitions of false information
Like an original big lie told over
Over and over again till the latest
Recipient of the long-term BS
Doesn’t even have the resistance
To ask obvious easy questions
Being too ingrained in the culture
Most apparent are religions with
Their own unprovable doctrines
Hint: Declaring the proof is in
Their holy book only means it
Was printed as “Kings” demanded
To serve their wealth and power
(If it served all of humanity, it would
Condemn slavery, subjugation, & war
Plus accepting different ideologies)
Not to mention, most have been
Translated, edited, and revised to
Newer and unquestioning readers
Followed by thumpers with their
Own contrived agenda and spin
To sell their verbal version
Filling modern empty seats and plates
Where each week some weak people
“Gather to compare clothing” – G. Carlin
Forming sub groups while there
Connecting to larger groups
That may or may not exist in a
Perceived safety in numbers whole
“Religion – religion, at best – at BEST – is like a lift in your shoe. If you need it for a while, and it makes you walk straight and feel better – fine.
But you don’t need it forever, or you can become permanently disabled.
Religion is like a lift in the shoe, and I say, just don’t ask me to wear your shoes. And let’s not go down, and nail lifts onto the natives’ feet.” (Or new arrival’s feet)
George Carlin
Belief buyer beware, consider if a
Salesperson sells you a car
You do not return to the dealership
Each week to get a refresher of
How great the car is, why would you
It gets you where you need to go
If you do not know of the seat heater
That is your own fault, know your car
Lest you go back to hear the salesperson
Tell you if you sit long enough
The seat will eventually warm up
Convincing you, you have a seat heater
Because beliefs are tricky
“Just an observation,
Maybe I need
Different glasses.”
– Angelo Devlin
Check out tomorrow’s follow-up
“Beliefs And Opinions”
In his indecision
To make a decision
“I have a concept of a plan.”
– “45”
Pssst. 24 years since he first ran
Still no plan, Ooopsie
Which is barely a vision
He does not want
To be President
Nor does he want
To go to prison
But that is the
Perceived stipulation
Damned decisions
Yet, grifting is his
Standard position
Because he is
Afraid of derision
So he will continue
With truth revision
While spewing more
Chaos and corrosion
Allegedly because
He wants to be
A dictator, so he
Can make his own
Decisionless decisions
Pointing fingers of blame
Is his claim to fame (shame)
“Just an observation,
Maybe I need
Different glasses.”
– Angelo Devlin
I hypothesize, editorialize, and digress
With all of the medical
Joseph Mengle miracles
Occurring in gender fluidity
Exchanging and replacing parts
I am almost sure males
With the right surgery, can
Carry a baby to fruition
So, for those who re-deciphered
Roe v. Wade back to the States
Now, have the perfect opportunity to
Put their bodies where their words are
By forcing themselves to take a fetus
That was conceived in a 13 year old
By an incestuous rapist violent assaulter
Carry it to term after being stripped of
Their quarter of a million dollar salary
Down to public assistance trying to
Afford rent, diapers, and baby food
While still being expected to carry out
Their duties as Supreme Court Justices
Without all their republican benefactors
Supplying nod, nod, wink, wink, benefits
Starting with finally controlling male bodies
By making it perfectly legal for castrations
To occur on the violent rapist assaulters
That might just clean up the other side of
Not putting females in that predicament
Knowing a fetus prevented is a fetus saved
Plus, a little something to balance the scales
Is that not what the “Justices” are for ?
After all, what is good for the goose is
Certainly, good for the gander
“Balancing on a ledge on…
Living on a razor’s edge.
Balancing on a ledge you know … you know !!
The evil that men do lives on and on !….”
(WHY? because the current patriarchal
Indoctrinated system not only allows it
But through apathy, encourages behaviors)
– Iron Maiden
“The Evil That Men Do”
An oldie, but a goody, just ahead of its time
“Now, speaking of consistency,
Catholics, which I was until I reached the age of reason, Catholics and other Christians are against abortions, and they’re against homosexuals. Well, who has less abortions than homosexuals?!
Leave these fucking people alone, for Christ sakes! Here is an entire class of people guaranteed never to have an abortion! And the Catholics and Christians are just tossing them aside! You’d think they’d make natural allies. Go look for consistency in religion.
And speaking of my friends the Catholics, when John Cardinal O’Connor of New York and some of these other Cardinals and Bishops have experienced their first pregnancies and their first labor pains and they’ve raised a couple of children on minimum wage, then I’ll be glad to hear what they have to say about abortion. I’m sure it’ll be interesting. Enlightening, too.”
– George Carlin
How quickly do you think those six of nine
Supreme Court Justices would call
An emergency session of the Court
To clarify that the law of the land is
What it is, that everyone has the right with
The bought and paid for 2nd amendment
To murder, kill, eliminate, slaughter, off
Neutralize, execute, infanticide, wipe out
Shoot, destroy, massacre, slay, etcetera
Anyone they feel is necessary to solve
Their situations perceived or otherwise
Like how we solve international problems
With bloody bloodstained hands bloodshed
Paid for at the taxpayers bloodless expense
If we look out into the mirror that reflects us
That is what we would see, if we dared to look
Who knew a minor rant would turn into a major one
Which is what happens when blood starts to boil
But at least I found a moral medical solution
“I write to expunge the darkness
So that someday
Light may shine through”
– Angelo Devlin
I’ll close with a song about a pen
“This Little Light Of Mine”
This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine.
This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine.
This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine.
Every day, every day, every day, every way,
Gonna let my little light shine.
Light that shines is the light of love,
Hides the darkness from above,
Shines on me and it shines on you,
Shows you what the power of love can do.
Shine my light both bright and clear,
Shine my light both far and near,
In every dark corner that I find,
Let my little light shine.
This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine.
This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine.
This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine.
Monday gave me the gift of love,
Tuesday peace came from above,
Wednesday told me to have more faith,
Thursday gave me a little more grace,
Friday told me to watch and pray,
Saturday told me just what to say,
Sunday gave me the power divine
To let my little light shine.
This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine.
This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine.
This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine.
This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine.
This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine.
This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine.
Shine, shine, shine, shine, shine.
– no specific lyricist found and why not?
Because the “light” belongs to everyone
Looks good on paper
But that is where
The morality stops
Using fetuses
As an illusion of
Something to protect is
A ruse of responsibility
If one was “Pro” (for) Life
They’d be for all life
All things alive
Inhaling and exhaling
Not just underwater breathers
(Like during the alleged Biblical
“Great Flood”* God’s only creatures
Saved, could breathe underwater)
* Also considered as the first mass global genocide
So much for God, being pro-life. Hmmmm
Whatever lesson “God” was trying to teach was lost
On dead people, “he” drowned, who could not apply the lesson
“We’re pro-life.” It’s like, well, what does that make me? You know what I mean? You’re so pro-life! You’re so pro-life, do me a fucking favor.
Don’t block med clinics, okay? Lock arms, and block cemeteries. Let’s see how fucking committed you are to this premise.
“She can’t come in.” “She’s ninety-six, she was hit by a bus!” “There’s options!” “What, do we got to have her stuffed? What are you talking about, she’s dead!”
“We’re pro-life, get her out of that casket! Get her out! She’s not going, we’re pro-life people. There’ll be no death on this planet.”
– Bill Hicks
It defies all logic
To be for something and
Against it at the same time
It is akin to declaring
I don’t believe I exist
Besides
If you can make that declaration
Psst, shhhh, don’t tell anyone
They will treat you as if you don’t (exist)
Unfortunately, cognitive dissonance 2 + 2 = 5
Is the dystopian fuel that feeds our futile fire
Funding a pro-life candidate while
Supporting (taxes) a government
That kills people on behalf of
Corporations that need cheap resources
To sell you even more products
In the name of democracy and freedom
That becomes the furthest thing
From being Pro-life
It is actually more Pro-death because
Nary a finger is lifted to prevent it and
Why should anyone?
It’s good for the economy. Ooopsie
Unless of course, instead of feeding
The military industrial complex used
To kill people for cheap resources
It could use the same materials for
Housing, high speed rail, food distribution etc.
But that would all fall under the umbrella
Of actually being pro-life by supporting lives
Doing the stuff, Masters of Wisdom would do
“I think in many cases,
your morality
is deeply lacking
if all you want is
a child born,
but not a child fed,
not a child educated,
not a child housed.
That’s not pro life.
That’s pro birth.”
– Sister Joan Chittister
“Pro-life… pro-life… These people aren’t pro-life, they’re killing doctors! What kind of pro-life is that? What, they’ll do anything they can to save a fetus but if it grows up to be a doctor they just might have to kill it’
“They’re not pro-life. You know what they are? They’re anti-woman. Simple as it gets, anti-woman. They don’t like them. They don’t like women. They believe a woman’s primary role is to function as a brood mare for the state.”
Pro-life… You don’t see many of these white anti-abortion women volunteering to have any black fetuses transplanted into their uteruses, do you? No, you don’t see them adopting a whole lot of crack babies, do you? No, that might be something Christ would do. And, you won’t see alot of these pro-life people dousing themselves in kerosene and lighting themselves on fire.
You know, morally committed religious people in South Vietnam knew how to stage a goddamn demonstration, didn’t they?! They knew how to put on a fucking protest. Light yourself on FIRE!!
C’mon, you moral crusaders, let’s see a little smoke. To match that fire in your belly.

With brilliant minds to make

Is an immigrant
And
Everyone
Is alien
Wherever you are
You immigrated here
From another dimension
Or perhaps a vibration
On a string, M or Superstring
Alien from experiencing
The whole, as one energy
By selecting to view it
From a subjective perspective
Simply for the experience
Love, hate, pain, pleasure
Wealth, poverty, xx or xy
Chromosomes, not parts
Geography, religion, climate
Language, governments
Siblings, spouses
Parents, parenthood
Violence or peace
“Mystery madman
A victim of cruel charade
Some innocent pawn
In an end game
One more stalemate
Is death another birthday?
A way to kiss your dreams goodbye?
Do the undead live within us
And look through our eyes?”
“Only The Good Die Young”
– Iron Maiden
Eventually
You will return
From where, whence
You came from
Back to that dimension
You once immigrated from
Now, so alien
You are afraid to go
But, go you must and go you will
“All matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves.”

“There’s time to live and time to die
When it’s time to meet the maker
There’s time to live, but isn’t it strange
That as soon as you’re born, you’re dying…
…and reborn again??”

“The Clairvoyant”
To listen to “my” candidate
With heavy-duty filtered ears
Only allowing what gets through
To hear what I want to hear
The “other” candidate with
Sharp discerning ears
In a broader range to
Pick-up dog whistles
Whilst living in fear
If I may be so Freudian
Both candidates are starting
To sound like my mother
After stating, I was moving out
Making impossible promises
To retain me to stay, such as
I’ll make you breakfast each day
You can park anywhere
On the driveway, and I won’t
Charge you rent like I said
(Which triggered the whole
Get out of Dodge plan anyway)
The funny thing is, both are each
Adopting and adapting the other’s
Plans, proposals, and promises
Reverberating off the rhetoric
Until you can’t tell who is doing what
I promise
I’ll help you buy a house
With magic money, I just made up
While I make sure there are more houses
To bring down the value of the houses
People are already indebted to the banks for
” Ooopsie, don’t pay attention to that part” – “46.5”
I’ll lower your taxes
I’ll jack up other countries’ tariffs so high
You’ll live in America for free while
China and all other gross importers
Pay for you to live in the land of the free
“That must be how it is meant,
No wonder I’m a stable genius” – “45”
I’ll do something about the border
I won’t let any more people in
I will kick everyone out
I’ll fricking let you frack
I’ll let you kill in womb fetuses
I’ll let you kill out of womb fetuses
Please, please, please, pick me, pick me
Are these two candidates vying to lead or
Running to be a classless class president?
Whoa, decisions, decisions, decisions
Made on vague impossible promises that
I promise to investigate after the election
But only if “my” candidate loses because
I am going to participate in a rigged game
“Never had a doubt in the beginning
Never a doubt
Trusted you true in the beginning
//
You made me promises, promises
Knowing I’d believe
Promises, promises
You knew you’d never keep
Second time around, I’m still believing
The words that you said
You said you’d always be here
//
You made me promises, promises
You knew you’d never keep
Promises, promises
Why do I believe?
//
You made me promises, promises
You knew you’d never keep
Promises, promises
Why do I believe
All of your promises
You knew you’d never keep
Promises, promises
Why do I believe?
Promises

“So I know that a little later on this year, you’re going to have another one of those really swell presidential elections that you like so much. You enjoy yourselves. It will be a lot of fun. I’m sure as soon as the election is over, your country will “improve” immediately.
As for me, I’ll be home on that day, doing essentially the same thing as you, the only difference is, when I get finished masturbating, I’m going to have a little something to show for it folks.”

AKA Kamala Harris / Tim Walz
Will not change the game
Too many people are on the take
Of their perception of
Identity politics for their sake of
Having something to identify with
Since self-realization is too scary
(I must align myself with either the
Red or the blue, since my willingness
To line up with their lies and promises
More closely match my own deceptions)
Ought it not matter more for
The collective to solve problems
Than pick either side to do nothing
Regardless of who gets in the “House”
The economy will do what it does
At the whims of which * “Davos” man
Makes money grabbing into an art
Of greed towards crass consumerism
Which includes making, selling, and using
Weapons of war against the people
As their blood oils the very machine
Most individuals would dismantle
As an evolutionary step towards peace
But noooooo
The distractions are too great to
Stop identifying with whichever side
Is convenient to have blatant opposition/s
Sports teams, race, religion, skin color,
Gender, class, height, weight, age, guns,
Rights, flags, nationalism, patriotism,
Immigration, energy, vehicle propulsion
Whether the earth is flat or spherical
Education, or rather indoctrinations
(If one only knows global conflicts must
End in violence and destruction, then that
Is all each subsequent generation will use
To solve its territorial and resource disputes)
Designed to keep playing the deadly game
Of daily chaos revolving around fear
(I must keep ahead of the Joneses while
Seeking a perfect artificial body, living in
The right neighborhood with all the latest
Gizmos and gadgets all the while living
In fear, my fellow earthling will surpass me
Constantly regurgitating opinions that line up
With the ones I’ve accepted as true into
Believing they are my own through repetition)

Just to show how ridiculous
What’s his name’s policy
Is on health care after 8 years
“Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump admitted Tuesday night he still has no healthcare plan, but “concepts of a plan.”
– forbes.com.
8 years, no plan, none, nada, zip, zilch, zero
From an allegedly successful billionaire businessman
Except for all his failed ventures, that were not “his” fault
Airlines, steaks, water, a fraudulent university
Casinos, bankruptcies, unpaid vendors, and workers
Must have been too busy engaging in charity fraud
While sexually assaulting women and bragging about it
8 years, no plan, none, nada, zip, zilch, zero
At a debate, in a farcical presentation of leadership
“How could they (45) not have a plan?
How could the democrats not have asked for one?
That’s all you’d have to do
What the f@#& are you gonna do?
How do you not ask that question?
But the bigger shock is that
They (Don, does not) didn’t have a plan
Even I couldn’t imagine
I kept thinking, we’ll, they (Don) must have a plan
Even, when, you know we were drunk last night
We got here!”
– Lewis Black
“Iraq, An Idiot’s Delight”
I have a concept of a plan
On what I might do if
Maybe, I win the lottery
Whether or not I buy a ticket
But as the amount fluctuates
So does the plan and splits
Who may get what and how much
Do I control the strings
Like some philanthropic grand poobah
Or squander it because it’s my ticket
Actually, I do have more of a plan
For my fictional lottery win than the
Donald has for his MAGA constituents
Along with everyone else stoking his
Neverending nefarious narcissism
First thing, sign the ticket, then write “plus others”
To share the winnings and lighten the tax burden
The next few calls would be to lawyers, accountants
Tax advisors and financial planning experts
Set up every family member with structured annuities
Along with trusted advisors to best suit their needs
The basis for the plan would be to bring in experts
Who are skilled in managing large sums of money
Would even consider bringing on board, therapists
Who deal with navigating newfound wealth so that
Bad decisions and bad deals are not made, simply
Because now one might have money to throw away
That is my concept of a plan. However, I am just
A dopey truck driver with a vague idea of what to do
You would think a former president would already be
Surrounded by experts in every field surrounding
Health care, insurance, finance, and business to put together
Something more than merely a concept of a plan…….
