The feeling you get
When cresting a hill
On an ice covered road
Seeing a coworker
In the breakdown lane
Hazards flashing
Not in any danger
But stuck
Could be the ice
Could be the tractor
Quickly assessing the situation
Knowing if you stop
You will be stuck too
Compounding the problem
The pangs of guilt
Slowly disappear realizing
If that were you, you
Wouldn’t want them
To stop either
Finish your shift
Return to work
12 hours later
Hear them telling
Their tales of woe
In the dispatch office
Adding to the conversation
By saying
You saw them stuck
And was thinking
About helping
But
#uc@ you
Which gets a good laugh
But deep deep inside
You wonder
Did you break
The final straw
To a last nerve
That is about to snap
Or was it received
In good fun
And more banter
Like that
Can be added to
The work place
This is where I’m left
Utterly helpless
Winning
At all cost
Is not winning
.
It is
At
“All”
“Cost”
Karma is karma
Every thing is a lesson
Now that you know that
What are you going to do
Go with Lennon’s Imagine
.
Imagine
.
Imagine there’s no heaven
It’s easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today…. Aha-ah…
Imagine there’s no countries
It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace… You…
You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world… You…
You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will live as one
– John Lennon

George HW (Happily Wealthy?) Bush
1924 – 2018

How did?
You woke me, me, for this?
Turn into:
.
“Melania and I join with a grieving Nation to mourn the loss of former President George H.W. Bush, who passed away last night.
“Through his essential authenticity, disarming wit, and unwavering commitment to faith, family, and country, President Bush inspired generations of his fellow Americans to public service — to be, in his words, “a thousand points of light” illuminating the greatness, hope, and opportunity of America to the world.”

You know that has been written for a while now, by his handlers. Otherwise we would have gotten the following, I’m speculating, with a high degree of confidence.
@realfakepresident

So sad, the passing of George B.. Enough about him. I’m still here look how great I am. Still promising a wall, still distracting my distracters. How great am I?
.
“1000 Points Of Light”
“You can sail in the desert
With a ship of fools
You can smuggle in Mozes
And his book of rules
But you can’t take a mother
And give her back her son
What kind of freedom
Is bought with a gun?
People like to build their prison walls
When they’re afraid to look inside a
Thousand points of light
Are the muzzle flashes in the night
And the freedoms you profess to hold
Won’t bring the dead back from the cold
Political speaches
They’re laying in the mud
Nothing else matters
But money and blood
Tell me your freedom
Is do what you like
There’s a world gone crazy
‘Cause it can’t say no
People like to build their prison walls
When they’re afraid to look inside a
Thousand points of light
//
There should be time for love
But there’s too much room for hate
Too much sliding of the truth
Too much abuse of wasted youth
There’s a time for dying and a
Time for living too
Had enough of realize,
Had enough of your alibis
A thousand points of light
Are the muzzle flashes in the night
And the freedoms you profess to hold
Won’t bring the dead back from the cold”
Bruce Dickinson
Others……..
Not at all
Me
I’m bothered by it
Lot of good that does
Question
.
What got dismembered first
Khashogghi………or the truth
Unfortunately his death is
Being used as a focused distraction
From all of the “sources”
Steering attention away from
The broader picture which is
The mirror we’re afraid to look at
Like those “trick” infinity mirrors
It goes on forever
Yet has no depth
.
As much as I like or
As easy as it is
To pick on 45
It would be a no win
Situation
For anyone in that position
(Seeing as how we pretend
To elect artificial leaders
‘Stead of conjuring up
Enlightened Masters
To show us the way)
.
(Shit, now I’m distracted)
Yet, denying is probably
The weakest strategy
Almost makes him look guilty
Based on all the other dismissals
Too numerous to mention
Save for this short list of
Taxes, collusion, Stormy Daniels
Deny, deny, deny
Unless of course one follows
The leader’s ludicrous logic
Utilizing implausible deniability
That some prince ordered it
Could have been anyone
Jhina, Russia, or a guy on his couch
.
Unfortunately it doesn’t matter
.
(Well, it mattered to Khashogghi
And his family, safe to assume)
We’ve got some shit to sell
Like wmd’s, keeping the greased
Military Industrial Complex
Churning out toys of death
Mass murder and genocide
Why?
Because it puts food on the table
Lots of tables
From the ore digger
To the steel and aluminum
Smelter employees
The bolt and nut makers
The glass makers
The tire makers
The road pavers
The truck drivers
The bean counters
The tax collectors
The lawyers
The bankers
The waiters
The farmers
The pilots
The salespeople
The brokers
.
Technically that makes us all
Unindicted coconspirators

*Nietzsche was right
A majority of the collective
Is enjoying their
“Herd Morality”
.
Kind of like how we turned our
Blind eyes away from Dubya’s
Illegal and personally profitable
Iraq war, knowing it wasn’t them
Accepting their befuddled logic
Cause they beat it like a drum
As water dropped incessantly
Dripping rhythmically on our
Forehead blurring our third eye
No one is pointing fingers
I am guilty too
Conceptually I was against it
But did nothing to stop it
Kept paying my taxes for it
Led no protests against it
And no way
No how
Did I want to pay
$6.00 a gallon for gasoline
So I turned my
Dichotomous dial
To zero and
Went on my merry way
.
Think about it
Would anything different
Have happened if 45
Or 44, 43, 42, 41 even 39
Took to the podium and
Declared that the
CIA, FBI, ATF, etc…
Investigated the matter
With verifiable proof
The Prince is responsible
However it is out of
Our jurisdiction
Regardless
It is simply a matter of
They would like to keep
Purchasing planes and
Weapons, bombs and missiles
That they may have as much fun
Playing with their toys
In the sand as we did
At least then we could examine it
In a slide under a high power microscope
Understand it simply and either
Accept it or change it
Instead of deciphering all of the
Orwellian coded economic language
Through every administration
Meandering down the primrose path
Of gradually descending annihilation
And if it didn’t before now
Bother anyone
It should at least
Bother Some

*(Most people do not question why things are considered morally good or evil, rather uncritically, and largely unconsciously, they adopt the “value judgments of good and evil” dominant within their society.
For the past 2000 years, the dominant morality in the West, according to Nietzsche, has been an “anti-natural” morality, which, in his words, turns “against the instincts of life”.
Nietzsche foresaw this morality as reigning over the Western world for the foreseeable future, and was to him “the danger of dangers” – a morality in which all individuals, even those with the potential to rise above the mediocre mass, are pressured into becoming)
“a smaller, almost ridiculous type, a herd animal, something eager to please, sickly, and mediocre.”
– Nietzsche (Beyond Good and Evil)
The more I’m compelled
To keep my mouth shut
Having nothing to say
Intelligent or otherwise
Sure
Words spill here
But here
They are
For me
To formulate unspoken
Clever arguments
Always winning
Never losing
To a few
Who are reading
Maybe
Understanding it
Or leaving
Not subjecting themselves
If they choose not too
Trying for balance
Not for an audience
Or any audience
For me
Knowing the only
Words I speak or type
Change my thinking
Broaden my horizon
Hopefully making me
A better person
Making the world
A better place

I just hope that when I’m much older, can maintain a progressive peaceful thinking that every life is precious.
That every individual will have the absolute freedom to be their best self without the societal restrictions.
I make up nothing
For what I lack
In personality
.
Where that should have stopped
.
Oops
There are no “should’s”
Things are such as they are
.
Anger brooding
Behind a kind mask
That falls off
Oft more
Often than not
Just a cog
In the wheel
Of a machine
Grinding to a halt
Screws loose
Wheels off
Oil’s burnt
Pistons shattered
Stack blown
That seems
To be
My makeup
