If the right destructive device came along that has no Achilles heel. One as such, that no army could defeat. No weapon would work to counter its offense. Historically and futuristically provable. One that would consciously or circumstantially force you to alter your thinking and feeling about your fellow human beings. That will experience the same demise whether you band together or not. At least you would have come to understand their similar fears, beliefs, loves, families, griefs, hopes and dreams.
.
That destructive device is called.
Death

“Dreamer” Ozzy Osbourne
Gazing through the window
at the world outside
Wondering will mother earth survive
Hoping that mankind
will stop abusing her
sometime
After all there’s only just the two of us
And here we are still fighting for our lives
Watching all of history repeat itself
Time after time
I’m just a dreamer
I dream my life away
I’m just a dreamer
Who dreams of better days
I watch the sun go down
like everyone of us
I’m hoping that the dawn
will bring a sign
A better place for those
Who will come after us …
This time
I’m just a dreamer
I dream my life away oh yeah
I’m just a dreamer
Who dreams of better days
Your higher power may be
God or Jesus Christ
It doesn’t really matter much to me
Without each others help
there ain’t no hope for us
I’m living in a dream of fantasy
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
If only we could all just find serenity
It would be nice if we could live as one
When will all this anger, hate and bigotry …
Be gone?
I’m just a dreamer
I dream my life away
Today
I’m just a dreamer
Who dreams of better days
Okay
I’m just a dreamer
Who’s searching for the way
Today
I’m just a dreamer
Dreaming my life away
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
The vile-ness
That spews
Under my breath
Is getting louder
Or my hearing
Is getting worse
Either way
Must scope
Out the problem
Keeping my mouth
Closed might work
Pour some antiseptic
On the bacteria
Infecting my brain
It produces
To kill the dis-ease
Hoping to hamper
The horrific halitosis
Hindering my humanity
The truth is tangled
The mind is mangled
The lips purse
The tongue ties
The throat’s parched
The stomach churns
The acids reflux
The nostrils flare
The ears perk
The fists clench
The knuckles crack
The teeth knash
The head bumps
The bones creak
The face flushes
The hair bristles
The voice raises
The eyes pierce
The pupils constrict
The sphincter tightens
The “funny” bone pains
The heels dig
The toes curl
The heart hardens
The blood boils
The veins pop
The lungs expand
The chest puffs
The brow furrows
The temples pound
The arms swing
The hips sway
The muscles tense
The arteries flow
The elbow jabs
The forearm wrestles
The shoulders blade
The foot kicks
The knee jerks
The wrists turn
The finger flips
The nails scratch
The legs firm
The ankle twists
The nose twitches
The hair pulls
The spine tingles
The ego bruises

Is it any wonder
I’m so #ucking

A clever meme
With creative graphics
Contrasting colors
Witty expressions
Quotation marks
Storytelling scenes
Does not a truth make
Truth is not a science
It is only a perception
Like any of your beliefs
Audio visual olfactory
Tactile and taste guide
Yet
Those senses are subject
To suggestion and sway
Fastidiousness and fray
Audio can be tested by
Playing the telephone game
With just three people
And five words
What gets back to you
Will not be the “truth” you said
Regardless what you
Articulately whispered
Could look for a visual truth
It is said that your eyes
Can play “tricks” on you like
A “Mirage” in the dessert
When sleep deprivation
Can provide the same
Hallucinating reality between
Deciphering holograms
In a statedly conscious
Unconscious state

Trial before Pilate from Jesus Christ SS
I look for truth and find that I get damned.
– JC
What is truth?
Is truth unchanging law?
We both have truths.
Are mine, the same as yours?
– Pilate
Reinterpreted via – Andrew Lloyd Weber
.
That must be what
It all boils down to
Truth
Your truth
My truth
Naked truth
Whole truth
Half truth
Hidden truth
Inconvenient truth
God’s truth
Honest truth
Honest to God’s truth
So help me God’s truth
Like God
Truth Is open to interpretation
It is in the eye of the beholder
Or perhaps hearts and minds

“And That’s the Truth”

The world outside
Ourselves
Is not a world
Outside our self’s

It is a mirrored
Reflection
Tiny aspects
Of the whole

Linear sequencing
Momentary events
Enhance knowledge
Clarify understanding
.
Not without duty
A price will be paid
Sacrifices cost
Rewards evanesce
.
Must not remain
Inside where it is warm
When it gets as cold
As the world outside

Keep doing what you are doing
Should you get caught red handed
You can use metaphysical science
And presidential precedent to plea
Not guilty
Just surround yourself with enough
Noodniks, lawyers and hangers-on
To make your innocence case for you
On the inferred suggestion intimated
That hints you may share the booty
Or perhaps get to drive the stolen car
Or wear the shiny diamond for a time
Play with the “power and prestige”
Even though it was ill gotten gain
If as they say you can’t take it with you
Which seemingly applies to everyone
Therefore no one “owns” anything, right?
Henceforth making it impossible to steal
Besides that, all you would have to do is
Make them “define” “money” should you
Have duffle bags full of what was “stolen”
Prosecutor: you were caught with 2m worth of cash in your bags
Defendant: those are just rectangular pieces of cloth with ink on them
Prosecutor: they have value assigned to them by the treasury
Defendant: still regardless, how the cloth is printed, costs are the same
Prosecutor: yes, but society has agreed these have values of exchange
Defendant: understood, however the insurance will replace it therefore it is like it was never missing.

Judge : You have a point. Not Guilty.
Are
The first three things
Thrown out of the
Economic window
Of ivory towers
Guarded by the wolf
In wolf’s clothing
While
The sheep bleet nonsense
In a dull rhythmic hum
Drifting in like a
Soft hallelujah chorus
Mixed in with the
,
Clinking of counted coins
The lilt of laughter
Suffocating the stench
Of greed and corruption
.
The above triggered the below
Perchance ivory towers mentioned
Or vice-versa impossible sequencing
When everything is happening at once
.
“Be Quick Or Be Dead”
“Covered in sinners and
Dripping with guilt
Making your money
From slime and from filth
Parading your bellies
in ivory towers
Investing our lives in
Your schemes and your powers
You got to watch them
– be quick or be dead
Snake eyes in heaven
– the thief’s in your head
//
See… what’s ruling all our lives
See… who’s pulling the strings…
I bet you won’t fall on your face
Your belly will hold you in place
The serpent is crawling
Inside of your ear
He says you must vote for
what you want to hear
Don’t matter what’s wrong
As long as you’re alright
So pull yourself stupid and
Rob yourself blind
You got to watch them
– be quick or be dead
Snake eyes in heaven
– the thief’s in your head
//
Be quick… or be dead!
Be quick!”
– Iron Maiden
