Only when one is sleeping
The most peaceful, deep
Restful, near comatic state
Beyond realms of REM
Having surpassed
Eternal exhaustion
In a dark, pitch black, quiet
Silent room of comfort
Tranquility and temperature
Does the universe know
To have someone call you and
Disturb that near divine death
Of blissful unconsciousness
On the off chance that you alone
Will be able to alter their boredom
With the most mundane inquiry
That left unasked for eons
Would be soon enough
“Just an observation,
Maybe I need
Different glasses.”
– Angelo Devlin
Is not a debate
It is a distraction
Designed to draw
People away
From their divinity
Fracturing focus
On frivolous info
For the arbitrary sake
Of picking a side
Even beyond that
So what if it is, it
Ought not change
How anyone is treated
Housed, fed or healed
Do I know for “certain”
The earth is spherical
Probably not in the
Strictest sense of knowing
Any more than I cannot
Disprove a solipsistic existence
That governs my being and
Influences my perceptions
However if I take a dip
(In what Don Juan, via
Carlos Castaneda considers
To be available to all humans)
In the “silent pool of knowledge”
Then yes I know the earth
Is spherical and home of a
Miraculous Gaia consciousness
That does not want me to spend
One Plancktonian nanosecond
(Planck time is roughly 10−⁴³ second)
On arguing with anyone
Over their suggestible beliefs
When they too could
Take a dip in that pool
Realize the earth is spherical
Or if it is actually not
Who the fuck cares
“All of that
Which has reality
Has no basis
In reality”
– Angelo Devlin
Is not about forgiveness
Of student loan debts
It is about distraction
Presented in part to
The Proletariat public
By the Ministry of Focus
A shared subdivision
Between the
Ministry of Truth and
The Ministry of Plenty
To keep the outer party
Quibbling amongst themselves
While the inner party
Maintains its status quo
If it was about money and
Wrongful debt remuneration
People would be making
Hateful or clever memes
When banks got bailed out
With taxpayer’s money or
Car manufacturers and
Airlines deemed to big to fail
It is a shell game of sorts
Played with the empty skulls
Of the easily manipulated
Riled up to readily regurgitate
Whatever their telescream TV
Talking head told them to focus on
Besides
The “money” that so many are
So “worried” about in the first place
Does not exist (let that sink in)
If it did, it would occur in nature
Say if it were to (pardon the pun)
Grow on trees
But it doesn’t, so it’s not real
It is made up and perpetuated
By those served by its illusion
What you won’t hear
People complain about
Is how twenty five percent
Of their overly taxed income
Goes to fund a behemoth beast
The military industrial complex
Making weapons of mass destruction
(All weapons destruct mass)
Bullets, bombs, missiles
Then, besides all of the hardware
Trains people to use the equipment
In order to (get this) kill other people
Who at some point
Correct me if I am wrong
Were fetuses in a womb
That all have to be protected
And not killed
Only to be expended later for
God and or country or both
Certainly to help multinational
Corporations have easy access
To cheap resources as the base
Materials for overpriced goods
Usually in the area of energy
To perpetuate their power
Speaking of student loans and education
“No one is going to give you the education you need to overthrow them. Nobody is going to teach you your true history, teach you your true heroes, if they know that that knowledge will help set you free.”
― Assata Shakur
Therefore, what gets indoctrinated
Into the bipedal earthling artist species
At an early age is a rotating cast of
Winners and losers of various wars
“Civil” wars, world wars, conflicts
Territorial disputes, ground wars
With pseudo justifications for each
So people can pick or defend “their” side
Hoping not to bury a loved one or
Retrain them to live limb-less while
They self medicate against their
Demons no one else can see
Student Loan Debt
Is just another topic in the arsenal
Of rotating cliche distractions
Flag controversy (no longer just burning)
Upside down, pride, thin blue line, torn
Ruses by the flag manufacturers
To……sell more flags (wavy distractions)
Gun rights, women’s rights, voting rights
All to be utilized the “way we use sports and television in this country, to distract people and take their minds off how bad they’re being fucked by the upper one percent.”
– George Carlin
First,
What everyone sees………
Through a kaleidoscope
After decades’ worth of
Images and perceptions as
A boastful bragging billionaire
Self promoting real estate guy
Playboy businessman child
Discarding used tarnished
“Trophy” wives with ease
“Flipping” them to upgrade
For newer model models
Desperate for attention
Uses flash instead of cash
Leaving bankruptcies in his
Wake of stiffed contractors
Unpaid bills and charity fraud
Replenished by daddy’s money
An unwitting failure enabler*
Casinos, steaks, wines, vodka
A fraudulent university scam
While transitioning to a fake
Made for TV reality entertainer
From a facade boardroom
With a catchy catchphrase
“You’re Fired” for the simpletons
A scripted voice of authority
Solidifying the illusion that
The Donald was successful
A bipedal earthling bullshit artist
Capitalizing on repetition
Seizes on a birth certificate
Dog whistling his racism to
A ripe crowd of recluses
Marginalized in their mind
Desperate for a white wizard
A voice for the voiceless
To fool them out of a situation
They can’t pull themselves out of
Yet, can send money to a billionaire
Yes, poor people with little means
Sending money to a billionaire
Ooopsie
(Did I write “BULLSHIT ARTIST”)
Denigrating women at will
Scapegoating immigrants
Like a carnival barker
For the easily distracted
To watch the center ring
In the circus, which is him
All the way to the “White” House
Flopping his position on choice
Knowing people only want to hear
A fetus saver is on the way
Realizing promises** never
Have to be fulfilled only promised
Creates no policy for health care
Infrastructure, gun violence
Mocks flood victims with paper towels
Does nothing for the common man
Who barely enough elected him
Save enriching the corporations
With tax breaks and less restrictions
Whew, this is exhausting
It is a long road to the
Thirty-four felony indictments
You get the picture
What nobody sees
Is the little boy
Inside the shell of a man
Who is hurt and scared
Seeking love and approval
From anyone but himself
What nobody sees
A little boy, hurt and scared
A little boy, hurt and scared
A little boy, hurt and scared
He does not want to be President
He wants to be comforted and loved
He wants to be comforted and loved
He wants to be comforted and loved

– Angelo Devlin
I have to
For my own sake
Replace the word
God
With the word
Word
Lest anyone think
I am being
Blasphemous
I am not for
The evidence
Is from the Bible
“In the beginning, the Word already existed.
The Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
John 1:1
And just like the
Other holy book
“The Dictionary”
Definitions are open to
Subjective interpretations
Matters not
The context
Nor content
For it elevates
The power
In the word
Having broader
Connotations
Than the tired old
Indoctrinations
Of too many images
That God is a man
Santa Claus caricature
Sitting on a throne
On a cloud
In heaven
Wherever
The f#@& that is
Giving people cancer
To be thanked later
For curing cancer
Or helping
Sports teams
If enough of the
“Winning” fans
Prayed the best prayers
So, so and so could
Catch, kick, roll, toss
Hit, pass, intercept
The right ball at
The right time
Forgetting that
(“YOU CANNOT
PETITION THE LORD WITH PRAYER!”
– Jim Morrison
“The Doors”)
Plus, save people from
Automobile accidents or
Plane crashes when,
If that is the case
Prevent the crash from
Happening in the first place
Ooopsie
Help fill military cemeteries
For those who believed
“He” was on “their” side
A key benefit is that it
Increases personal responsibility
In that God/Word
Is everywhere in everything
At all times infinitely forever
Where there is a word / Word
From the tiniest subatomic
Neutrino within a quark
To all of existence itself
No separation whatsoever
From implausible and unlikely
Alphas or omegas
Even wordless thoughts
Are not separate from Word
Regardless of language or religion
Word is the basis for all that is
There is no hierarchy or trinity
Mystery, magic, or manipulation
Just Word
Miraculous and magnificent
Will close with an example
I thank Word for all the blessings in my life
Therefore, what one considers to be blessings
Is made manifest through Word and words
What you have and appreciate is made up of words
All in context and content that suits you
“Just an observation,

Of not knowing
What time it is
Is immeasurable
Ha ha he he
Also
Chronological
Upon awakening
In a darkened room
I resisted looking for
As long as I could
But this popped
Up in my head
Thought
It was clever
So a new joy
Replaced
The previous joy
Upon writing this
Then another joy
Occurred
Recalling what my
Grandson said
Who once declared
At the precocious
Age of four
Learning I work at night
Stated
You’re nocturnal
(I had to look it up)
For another joy
To find its way
Into this post
Of a comedic phrase
Trapped in my mushy mind
“The only joy in my life,
Is a dish washing liquid.”
– Steve Martin
Closing this out with
Chicago lyrics to
Wonder…….
“Does anyone really know what time it is?
Does anybody really care?
(About time) If so, I can’t imagine why.”
Hope you en-joy-ed this.
At least at this….time…..
Of joy
“All of that
Which has reality
Has no basis
In reality”
– Angelo Devlin
Is the freedom of
Not being attached
To the worn-out cliche
That freedom isn’t free
That somehow ………..
In order to be “free”
Bipedal earthling artists
Have to go murder* other
Bipedal earthling artists
Dressing up as mercenaries
With cute camouflage clothing
Playing with penis extentions
For any particular government
On behalf of criminal corporations
To acquire cheap resources
For an even heftier profit**
While sons and daughters
“Serve” their country
Mostly sons because
The daughters will be spared
“So they can have more live babies
Raising them to be dead soldiers” – GC
Under the guise of patriotism
Defending what?, they do not have.
Certainly not freedom from the
Night terrors from the nightmares
Of the visions and images on the
Faces and dead bodies of the
Bipedal earthling artists
Their government said they “had” to kill
Perpetuated in perpetuity through
Sales of beds, sheets, grills, and guns
Making sure blanket thanks are given
For those who served just because
They are wearing a baseball cap
Or fatigues not yet thrown away to
Get special parking and an extra 10% off
*
Yes, murder……
Not kill, eliminate, neutralize, take out, wipe out, destroy
Slaughter, massacre, exterminate, annihilate, assassinate
Butcher, slay, waste, obliterate, abort, and, extirpate

“I spent 33 years and four months in active military service, and during that period, I spent most of my time as a high-class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism.
I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in.
I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902-1912.
I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American Sugar Interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927, I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested.
Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents.”

The Antiwar Classic by America’s Most Decorated Soldier
“I am just an aging drummer boy
And in the wars, I used to play
And I’ve called a tune
To many, a torture session
Now they say I am a war criminal
And I’m fading away
Father, please hear my confession
I have legalized robbery
Called it belief
I have run with the money
I have hid like a thief
Re-written history
With my armies and my crooks
Invented memories
I did burn all the books
//
Oh, Father, please help me
For I have done wrong
The man’s too big
The man’s too strong. “

Perhaps if the collective honored
The best teachers and philosophers
There would be more intelligent thinkers
To figure out how not to kill each other
Plus, reduce mindless consumption
Taking care of the same spaceship
We are all riding on through the cosmos

That someday light may shine through”

At the whole
There are images floating around
Depicting concepts
Of the “known” universe
Presumably from a
Geocentric perspective
Rather, an egocentric one
Therefore, the view, like
From the top of a mountain
Shows a 360° scene
As far as the current
Technology can capture
In a conceptual way
Galaxies, suns, stars
Planets, empty spaces
Nice and tidy
In a five inch circle
Wow, for everybody
To grasp “everything”
Which is fine until
One is able to separate
Themselves from ego
Place the same technology
Upon the outer edge to
Of the known universe
There would not be
A void of nothingness beyond
Rather, a new concentric circle
As far as technology could “see,”
More of the “known” universe
As a constant new awareness
Plus, nowhere in the findings
Would there be any evidence
Of a big bang bogus beginning
Nor a heaven or hell
Nor a God on a throne on a cloud
Or Devil waiting by a lake of fire
Just more infinity
Beyond known infinities
Only to turn the telescopes back
At ourselves to see how
Literally small we are
In the literal infinite
Meandering around the cosmos
On a pale blue dot so pale
Our significance is insignificant
Now cast away those images
Turn off the telescopes and see
How fragile our reality must be
Now, wonder why we fight against
Each other as a perpetual distraction
That is even harder to grasp
“Just an observation,
Maybe I need
Different glasses.”
– Angelo Devlin
A thought travels
Adjacent thoughts
Move accordingly
Some with friction
Others are free-flowing
Bouncing back and forth
Between memories
Projections and moments
Physical and emotional
Pains and exultations
Like the phenomenon of
Energy, waves, and particles
Neither created nor destroyed
Simply altering content with
Context and vice-versa
Within an invisible matrix
Manifesting light and sound
Surrounding thoughts with
Images and audible tones
Believing that the chair
I am sitting on is real
When it is made up of
The same stuff I am
Making both seem real
When it is merely perception
Based on nothing
But thoughts traveling
Every which way
“All of that
Which has reality
Has no basis
In reality. “
– Angelo Devlin
Plus manifesting them here
For both of us to read…..
Incredible
Is a short word cue
That I use when
Listening to the news
To remind myself to
Question the information
If it is presented as
Life affirming
Especially when it seems
To be hyperbolic distraction
Scaring the Proletariat public
Utilizing natural disasters
Plus trials of centuries or
Wars and other violent events
Like daily mass shootings
In an allegedly civilized society
To play on people’s fears
Ignorance and unconsciousness
“Attention,
Your attention, please
A newsflash has this moment
Arrived from the Malabar front
Our forces in South India
Have won a glorious victory
I am authorized to say
That the action
We are now reporting
May, well bring the war
Within measurable
Distance of its end
Here is the newsflash
Plusgood
Doubleplusgood”
“Doubleplusgood”
– Eurythmics “1984” Soundtrack
Based on George Orwell’s “1984”
The “newsflash” for whatever reason
(Cycled ad nauseum for crass consumption)
Gets our immediate attention as if
Something really “important” is happening
Usually repeated and regurgitated by many
Talking heads trapped in a rectangle screen
Flat, both in appearance and emotion
One dimensional ego driven narcissists
Spouting off alleged facts as if it were
The necessary oxygen needed to breathe
With just enough hyperbole and focus
To keep the audience tuning in for
The commercials in between the
Vague presentation of opinions as fact
With soap opera detail driven distractions
So as not to repeat the same information, it is
Salt and peppered with enough negativity
Like something new is being added for flavor
Giving background history of the characters or
Location as if they were color commentators
Covering the sport of death and destruction
Mayhem, mishaps, and misinformation
One of the news stories that triggered this post
Was one of Pyootyn supposedly ready to use
“Nuclear” devices in his war with Ukraine
Therefore, the veiled intent was a push for
The divided and distracted United States
To sell or give or rent weapons of marginal
Mass or messy and manipulative destruction in a
War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength
Type Orwellian misinformation filling the memory hole
Why would a dictator or anyone else for that matter
Use a weapon to gain access to land that would become
Now uninhabitable, therefore unlikely to be “occupied
See how easy it is to scare money right out of your wallet
Nope, the talking heads just spew it out unthinking and
Never interrupt their teleprompter reading to suggest otherwise
“I have certain rules I live by.
My first rule. I don’t believe anything that the government tells me, nothing, zero, none.
And I don’t take very seriously the media or the press in this country who in the case of the Persian Gulf war we’re nothing more than unpaid employees of the Department of Defense and who most of the time, most of the time functions as kind of an unofficial Public Relations Agency for the United States government.
So I don’t listen to them, I don’t really believe in my country, and I got to tell you folks I don’t get all choked up about yellow ribbons and the American flags. I consider them, I consider them to be symbols and I leave symbols to the symbol minded.”
– George Carlin
Persian Gulf War, Iraq War, War in Afghanistan, Ukraine,
Gaza, Israel, cold wars, world wars, etc, war, war, war, war.
“Another Prophet of Disaster
Who says the ship is lost

Afflicting us with fear

Get this, there are “Rules” for war* Hmmmm.
If human earthling societies have evolved enough to
Have guidelines of who is not to be killed
How much harder would it be to make a rule
Not to kill anyone anywhere for any reason
(In other words, treat them like fetuses)
Would it really take a quantum leap or paradigm shift
To just make a “rule” to not have any wars. Just asking.
The only reason wars are inevitable is because
We’ve been told and indoctrinated to believe that
Like the proverbial carrot on a stick
There is just enough information presented
To stay tuned, believing that scenario will be over
And yet It goes on and on without solutions

The rules of war, also known as international humanitarian law:
• Protect those who are not fighting, such as civilians, medical personnel or aid workers.
• Protect those who are no longer able to fight, like an injured soldier or a prisoner.
• Prohibit targeting civilians. Doing so is a war crime.
• Recognize the right of civilians to be protected from the dangers of war and receive the help they need. Every possible care must be taken to avoid harming them or their houses, or destroying their means of survival, such as water sources, crops, livestock, etc.
• Mandate that the sick and wounded have a right to be cared for, regardless of whose side they are on.
• Specify that medical workers, medical vehicles and hospitals dedicated to humanitarian work can not be attacked.
• Prohibit torture and degrading treatment of prisoners.
• Specify that detainees must receive food and water and be allowed to communicate with their loved ones.
• Limit the weapons and tactics that can be used in war, to avoid unnecessary suffering.
• Explicitly forbid rape or other forms of sexual violence in the context of armed conflict.
