Nothing to see here
Especially if it is one’s
Arbitrary selection
Based on nothing
But mental manifestations
Of opposites for the sake of
Having an opposing view
It doesn’t matter…..
(Candidate
Team
Brand
Religion
Nationality
Race)*
If it is your choice
In any of the above
Magically
Faults & unpleasant facts
“Warts & all”
Conveniently disappear
Could it be any more
Transparent than that…..
The side “I’ve” chosen
Is pure and good, while
The “other” side is
Disgusting and evil
You are bad and
I am good. Pllbhlhth
What are we?
Collectively? Five? Maybe six?
Certainly not evolved beings
To realize we are all
(Get this)
ON THE SAME TEAM
One consciousness
Dust with awareness
Just not enough awareness
To realize we are not separate
From what we hate or love
The older I get
The more obvious this is
When one can
Possess nothing
The least to
Cling to is a side
For the sake of
Having a side
That somehow
Your whatever
Is better than
Someone else’s
When it is all
Made up of the same
God Particle
*
If you feel like none
Of these are chosen
But selected at birth
Yet, feel proud about
Then ego and conceit
Take over your divinity
This leads to ignoring
Your warts and all
“Faults and unpleasant facts”
“Don’t be proud. Too much pride as it is.
Pride goeth before a fall. Never forget Proverbs.” (Proverbs 16:18)
– George Carlin
Proverbs 16:18 Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall. 16:19 It is better to be lowly in spirit along with the oppressed than to share plunder with the proud.
The no warts and nothing to see here crowds
Are manifesting over “their” candidates
Forgetting their humaness or lack thereof
By pointing a finger at each other’s bad traits
Forgetting the hidden three pointing back
Making it glaringly obvious that
What one hates the most is……..themselves
It is just unrecognizable in the mirror
That they face, but refuse to see
When you recognize that you are
Intrinsically made up of both sides
That your molecules are intertwined and
Interchangeable with other’s molecules
The warts and all no longer hold sway
Over your beingness and all of infinity
Subtle and overt indoctrinations
Infused over time, or banged over the head
Have led the collective into believing
That they are not the enemy themselves
If given a chance, would eliminate
In order to (get this) ……. be happy

At the speed
Of insanity
While Rome burns
The emperors fiddle
Distracting peasants
With petty promises
Frantic finger pointing
Whilst getting
Nothing done
Just a permanent
Side show
Put on for free by the
Donkeys and elephants
In the three ring circus
Sponsored by
Greedy corporations
To keep the
Masses docile
A safe distance
From revolution
A safer distance
From enlightenment
While quibbling over
Which animal
Has more faults
In their refined act of
Braying and trumpeting
Kicking and stomping
The ground into
Clouds of dust
For the sake of
Stirring up the
Dirt and feces
Only to go home
To watch more
Divisive distractions
On digital display
Of endless
Sporting events
Using the same guise
Of rooting for
“Their” team
Against other’s teams
Gambling on

Bragging rights
Statistical uselessness

Didn’t drop the ball

Without lifting one
Finger of participation
Just expending energy
Fueled by
Alcohol consumption
Mindless gluttony and

Should I find myself buying into
One or a thousand conspiracy theories
I would need to reprimand myself
Knowing fool / full well, I am unable to
Objectively prove that I exist
Which would be tantamount to accepting
That the Bible is / as the word of God
Knowing it has been translated
Revised, rewritten, with omissions
Additions, vague translations
By kings no less, with new suitable versions
While the main media and subsequent media
Will purposefully state there are investigations
Into the alleged assassination attempt of 45
There will be no stories or headlines declaring
Searches for alternative scenarios of other intents
Questioning all that happened that day and not just
Finger wagging and voices raised over responsible parties
But potential sympathies elevated and fundraising help
Unlikely, yet assassinated patsies and bystanders before
Any real investigations could possibly take place
Death is a small price to pay when power is hungry
Just (mis)information floating out as temporary fact
While nearly immediately, a new news cycle starts anew
As facts, perceptions and memes disappear down
A short memory hole forever altered permanently
Due to the rise of real and false conspiracy theories
The deaf dumb and blind following of a dopey deity
Can not even make a push to curb access to AR-15’S
To maybe prevent their “leader” from being shot at again
When it is too easy to purchase mental real estate
That divine intervention prevented their saviors’ * death
Where is divine intervention during school shootings?
* (A savior found civilly liable for assault and rape
A convicted felon of business fraud on 34 counts
A womanizing philanderer with 5 children by 3 wives
Failed businessman with six bankruptcies & charity fraud
None of the stuff that Jesus fella is known for
Not in that one book gleaned on occasion
Maybe that is the part that was edited out)
When in all plausible scenarios, it is just as likely
That in a twisted Manchurian candidate shooting
There is a popularity bump in his polling numbers
As his cultish unquestioning followers strap Maxipads

“I love conspiracy theories. I used to just live on it. You know it’s all hype and garbage, but you’re still really paranoid afterwards. It’s fun entertainment.”

At least at the “Assassination Museum” formerly the School Book Depository in Dallas, Texas. No dictated conclusions are drawn, merely as much information as possible so the tourists can decide for themselves. Sixty plus years and no provable conclusions. Just opinions, speculation, and theories to no evolutionary end.
Merely distractions, books, films, stories, myths, and mayhem.
You would think at this time, with all of the digitized Zapruder
Wannabes there would no longer be any mysteries as to what
Really happened on July 13th. Instead, faster than any bullet
Can travel, misinformation was spread and adhered to quicker
Than 45 could get his gold shoes on to be shuffled off stage
If either candidate was the target, the same questions apply
Certainly, I do not want to pull an Alex Jones / Sandy Hook.
Some rhetorical questions and speculation for fun entertainment
How is there no blood on his hand after grabbing his ear? Hmm?
If one was really shot, would either have the wherewithal to rise up
Giving a fist pump to fight? What is there to “fight” for?
Why would a rally be held in a location of convenient height roofs?
It’s almost like a Deally Plaza motorcade route turkey shoot.
From the alleged shooters location, how did it nick the top of his ear? Or was that an exit wound after traveling through his empty head?
Is the reason no one has been fired over the “security” lapse, is because everyone was doing the “job” they were supposed to?
How did his ear heal so quickly? Surgical stainless steel piercings take longer to heal. Divine intervention, or vanity, and narcissism?

Taking orders is easy to do regardless
If human lives are at stake as long as
The outcome is to one’s liking
Or the queen of diamonds played her hand
Or that 45 was once a second rate
Reality TV star who learned to react on cue
While others quickly applied makeup
That the viewing audience would never see
Now, I must reprimand myself for making this too long.

Finally…..whew….. a broad* in the Whitehouse
* actually, an intended, non-sexist term to identify
A bipedal earthling artist with birthing capabilities
Without using the Gileadian language restrictions
Culturally imbedded as less than their divine worth
Biblical subjugation of-man. Genesis 2:21-23 KJV**
Indoctrination rib borrowing, owing their life to “man”
By not using fe-(male) or wo-(man) to describe
He(r) and what s(he) is worth
Technically, I could have used Lady instead of broad
However, the subtle linguistic overtone is still of-lad/man

“21 And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
22 And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. (Wasn’t that nice of “Him”)
23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.”
I call bullshit. Hocus-pocus manipulation for “owner”ship
Which no divine bipedal earthling artist deserves
I guess after 6 days, “his” cosmic magic was running low. Hmmm

“I have this feeling that whoever is elected president, like Clinton was, no matter what you promise on the campaign trail – blah, blah, blah – when you win, you go into this smoke-filled room with the twelve industrialist capitalist scum-fucks who got you in there.
And you’re in this smoky room, and this little film screen comes down … and a big guy with a cigar goes, “Roll the film.”
And it’s a shot… of the Kennedy assassination from an angle you’ve never seen before … that looks suspiciously like it’s from the grassy knoll.
And then the screen goes up and the lights come up, and they go to the new president,
“Any questions?”
“Er, just what my agenda is.”
“First we bomb Baghdad.”

“But the worst – and most shameful – manifestation of the Biden administration’s embrace of Trump-style tactics is its current campaign to sell its military aid package for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan based on the jobs it would create in key states, red and blue alike. On the one hand, the administration’s gambit is a sign of political weakness – the “arms equals jobs” argument is always the justification of last resort when a weapons program or an arms export can’t be justified on strategic grounds. But the Biden team has taken this approach to new heights.”

Here’s what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride.

“During his three decades on the Supreme Court, Clarence Thomas has enjoyed steady access to a lifestyle most Americans can only imagine. A cadre of industry titans and ultrawealthy executives have treated him to far-flung vacations aboard their yachts, ushered him into the premium suites at sporting events and sent their private jets to fetch him — including, on more than one occasion, an entire 737. It’s a stream of luxury that is both more extensive and from a wider circle than has been previously understood.
Like clockwork, Thomas’ leisure activities have been underwritten by benefactors who share the ideology that drives his jurisprudence. Their gifts include:
At least 38 destination vacations, including a previously unreported voyage on a yacht around the Bahamas; 26 private jet flights, plus an additional eight by helicopter; a dozen VIP passes to professional and college sporting events, typically perched in the skybox; two stays at luxury resorts in Florida and Jamaica; and one standing invitation to an uber-exclusive golf club overlooking the Atlantic coast.”

The Supreme Court has nine justices – one Chief Justice and eight other associate justices. When the salaries were initially set back in 1789, the Chief Justice earned $4,000 per year, and the associate judges earned $3,500.
While the President’s salary has only increased 5 times since 1789, the salaries for the Supreme Court Justices have increased 51 times over the same period. Currently, it has increased to $286,700 (Chief Justice) and $274,200 (associate judges), where it has remained since.

“The days when it was taboo to criticize the lives of Supreme Court Justices are over. And it turns out there’s plenty hiding in their closets. Whether it’s Justice Clarence Thomas sending his relative to school on a Republican megadonor’s dime or Justice Samuel Alito reportedly taking a lavish trip with a billionaire with cases before the court, the Supreme Court is rife with ethics scandals.”

When final decisions are overturned and replaced
They are not very supreme, now are they?
The Supreme Court is like a hole in the wall

Maybe it should be called the Malleable Court

It seems as though
Most people are for
Life, and death
Depending on
The level of their
Inherited or
Indoctrinated
God complex
Morally malleable
Deadly decisions
Contingent upon
Circumstances
As to the acceptability of
Who lives and who dies
In the womb fetuses
Who have not done shit
They are on an
Endangered species list
Which is fine because
They can’t do shit
Meanwhile, their forebearers
Found it perfectly acceptable
To kill allegedly grown up
Out of the womb fetuses
With James Bond immunity
Over food, land, oil, water
Shipping access, slaves
Different religious beliefs
Indifferent to their Gods
Isms, communism, socialism
Monarchies and dictatorships
Soldiers, regardless of uniforms
Drug dealers, adulterers, and
…………..School children……….
Now, that’s a roll of the death dice
Don’t you think, in a game of chance
It is like the conservatives are putting
All their chips on the be-born
Yet could care less after they are
It is as if they need fuel for an
Endless burning funeral pyre
That ignites their passion to
Seek, seize, and spread their power
In its simplest terms, it is
A one-sided dichotomy
For the simpletons to follow
Forging the idea, if a woman
Opts to murder her fetus
Then she too will
Face the death penalty
Forgetting that she was
Once a saved or spared fetus
Who? No longer needs
To be saved?????
The best and most ironic example
Is when the government will tell
A female soldier who finds herself pregnant
She is not allowed to murder her fetus
But…….when they need her to do her job
Will be ordered to murder all of the
Out of womb fetuses turned “enemies”
She is trained and taught to murder
That is how being for life and death
Is justified….. So, vote republican
Just kidding, let’s all figure out how to
Dismantle this shaky house of cards
The military industrial complex built
With the help of religious radicals
So that every fetus in and out of wombs
Can experience a lifetime of love and laughter
Travel, learning, creating, and no fear
Can you imagine growing up in a world
Where everyone on the planet is fed
Educated and knows to cherish and
Honor the Gaia consciousness that
Essentially, birthed them in the first place
Share resources, and if competition is
So uselessly necessary for their well-being
Then, make challenges to see how
Everyone could out kind one another
Instead of out killing whomever
Some small group of industrialists
Feels the need to expend while garnering
Access to cheap resources for profits
“Child birth isn’t natural. I’ll let that sink in. Child birth isn’t natural. We’re not supposed to give birth. We’re not supposed to age or die. Did you know that? We’re supposed to live forever. We’re supposed to be in a garden right now leaning against a tree naming animals.
And the fact that you don’t know the name of every animal in the world tells me something. Do you know what it tells me? We left the garden too soon.

What happens in Vegas
Stays in Vegas

What happens in Vegas
Spreads like a virus
Of 24 hour non stop
Gluttonous consumption
At infinite inflation on
All products and services
Jacking them up to new highs
Taking that attitude home with them
(If it sells for $5, sell it for $7
Or two for $ 13.99 or $14
Should you decide to donate
That .O1 cent to “charity”
Better yet to spend that
Good money on bad entertainment
For 10 minutes at a time for $10
Make that $20, got to keep people
Transferring the wealth to the wealthy
Heck, if they were at a table
Or a digital one-armed bandit
They might “win” money back
At the casino of crass consumerism
Once the corporations get that dollar
It is theirs to keep, no refunds)
With nary a reset to pause
Save in the wee hours
Where things slow a tad
In order to restock rubbish
Amidst the wailing sirens
Flashing lights, bad smells
Backup beeps of garbage trucks
Gathered crowds whilst
Stepping over passed out people
Dodging the mist of Marijuana
Every square inch
Capitalizing on consumption
All corridors between the registration
To your room are filled with restaurants
Machines, tables, gift shops, liquor stores
With automated “Jetson’s” style
Futuristic food dispensers

Never mind that…..Every square inch is hell bent on
Capitalizing on consumption
If you are awake but asleep, you are consuming
At exorbitant prices that make no sense, save being
A captive audience with shitty transportation options
On the third hand, and a much more positive note
It appeared as though all of the human races
Were all getting along and intermingling happily
Too drunk or stoned to remember their prejudices
Unfortunately, when not seeking financial gain
Through some oddless luck of the draw
They were buying some useless shit that if
For not being in Vegas would never buy ever
Let alone a “souvenir” cup they just threw out
I wonder with the music blaring so loud
From every corner inside and outside
If they were to loop a Nirvana song reflecting
That their mind and wallet are being violated
That anyone would stop and go home

Of any election scenario
Whether it be for student council

President “The most powerful man in the world”*
Or the one that gets me every time
Is coroner. What? How am I possibly supposed
To be qualified to select a person whose
Job it is to oversee the lives of dead people?
Because none of it is based
On merit, qualifications, or skill
Merely popularity, name recognition from
Billboards, yard signs, bumper stickers
Mailers, flyers, on cute colorful cardboard
Effort, money, and time to become known
Promises do not need to be kept
Facts matter not for those
Not paying any discerning attention
Save cursory surface satisfaction
That the well-intentioned promise
Was either that or the opposition
Forces were too difficult to overcome
Making it “other’s” fault it did not occur
“Can’t” possibly mean that it was stated
Emphatically, “just” to get elected…. Ooopsie
So, the game goes on and on
The cliché recycles, this next election
Will be the most important election of your life
Hmmmm, based on the frivolity of facts
The inconsistencies of erroneous information
The desperate desire for devious democracy
In the gambler’s hope, the outcome will
Change one’s life immediately for the good
Sadly, nothing will change except the
Names and faces of the “democratically” elected
Which is oddly all fine and dandy since each day
Regardless of external circumstances, one can
Still be kind, helpful, generous, sharing, smile
Take care of immediate family, then extended, to
People you barely know, strangers, acquaintances
Knowing we are all in this together as one
