Of seperating
Non-reality from
Un-reality
Just establishing a little context.

“What else bothers me?
Mickey Mouse’s birthday being announced on the television news as if it were an actual event! I don’t give a shit! If I cared about Mickey Mouse’s birthday I would have memorized it years ago! And I’d send him a card, ‘Dear Mickey, Happy Birthday, Love George’.
//
Mickey Mouse- no wonder no one takes our country seriously, we waste valuable news time informing our citizens of the age of an imaginary rodent.”
– George Carlin

It would appear as though some of the acquaintances of allegedly grown adults (which would be more accurate than “friends”) I’ve gathered on Facebook, like to espouse their ignorance by posting memes that declare that they support Elmer Fudd and Yosemite Sam and have the right to keep and bear arms.
You know, the ones, the Pro-tRump, Pro-gun, Pro-life, Pro-death penalty aka Pro-murder, (how consistent) as long as it’s not “their” “kind” that is getting murdered.
Then, then “they” might actually have something to get “up in arms” over.
Meanwhile, getting all 2nd ammendment righteous over “drawn” cartoons as to whether or not they can be shown on TV anymore as gun owners Elmer Fudd or authority Yosemite Sam.
Besides, if Yosemite Sam “loses” his gun, they might as well draw him without bendable knees too.
On the flip side, I’ve heard ramblings that Paw Patrol (another cartoon) be canceled simply because one of the characters, is a police pup named Chase.
The only way that should happen would be if the police pup’s name was changed from Chase to Neil.
Tsk tsk
Always the contrarian

No lives matter
Only the life of
Corporations
Matter
The
Collective
Constructs of
Commerce
Created to keep
Consumers
Consuming
Death be dammed
.
Keep purchasing
Buying and keeping
As planned
Gizmos
Ideologies
Religions
Politics
Security
Freedom
Health
Gender roles
Wealth status
Geography
Rule of law
Race
Nationality
And Rights
.
Corporations
Nourished by
The examples above
Feeding off humans
Proclivity for
Ego based happiness
That any one or all of
Those categories
Can keep everyone
Divided and damaged
By holding their “position”
In life as being defined by
What each believes
As to their opinion
About say, “their”
Religion, race or wealth
Just to name a few
Mindlessly attaching
Good to themselves and
Bad or wrong to “others”
Even though we are all
(bi-pedal oxygen breathing, monoxide exhaling, red-blooded, skeleton supported, solar powered, carbon-based, large brained, earth inhabitant omnivore artists)
Who’s spirit can not die and
Will outlive the corporations
Till we once again
Choose to evolve
Into our divinity
Stand up for what you believe in
We’ve all heard that phrase
But what if one’s “beliefs”
Are ridiculous or unfounded
Built on hearsay and rumor
Substantiated by nothing
Other than indoctrinations
Based on ego and ancestry
Worse yet, words in a book
That have been rewritten
Revised reworded rearranged
Left out then let back in to be
Misinterpreted and misused
By people in positions of power
To perpetuate their perceptions
In how they want people to behave
Because an invisible man in the sky
Said so, or so “they” say, said so
Fully examined and understood
Gives one, one less leg to stand on
Brainwashed from birth
To somehow think
We are different
From each other
For no reason
Other than ones
We’ve accepted
Such as
Airs of superiority
Or rather errors
Of superiority
Of epidermis pigmentation hierarchy
Of beliefs in invisible deities
Of wealth in varying degrees
Of geographical locations
Of perceptions of royalty
Of gender roles and identities
Fawning at the feet of fame
Placating people in power
.
Oh the depravity
To be in the twisted
Cult of humanity
Warning: The following is not for the faint of heart, the easily offended or the metaphorically challenged.
How long does it take
To perform an abortion?
.
I’m not sure how long it takes in a clinic, but in an open air setting, on the pavement with a vehicle tire as a headrest. It takes 8 minutes 46 seconds to end the life of a 2,444 week old fetus
Which includes having assistants standing by, making sure the procedure is not interrupted.
Where are those Right to lifers when George Floyd really could have used them?

Mama, just killed a man,
Put my knee against his neck,
Applied pressure, now he’s dead
Papa, look what I have done
Been taught to be racist
Since I was one
To add
The two words
No Mask
To the store
Entrance sign
That reads
No Shirt
No Shoes
No Service
So people might realize, then understand, their “rights” are not being violated?
Maybe it’s because masks starts with an M. Which would throw off the whole S sound sequencing.
How about
No Coverings
No Commerce
.
Too Newspeak perhaps
“There ain’t a white man in this room that will change places with me — and I’m rich!”
“That’s how good it is to be white.
There’s a one leg busboy in here right now going “I don’t wanna change, I’m going to ride this white thing out, see where it takes me.”

– Chris Rock
I don’t know
What it’s like
To be a black man
Can’t even imagine
Always a target
For a racist
Just for being black
Very difficult to hack
If the role was reverse
Then it’d be perverse
Is it so trite
To be white
That the jealousy
Forgoes human decency?
.
Behind Brown Eyes
No one knows what it’s like
To be a black man
Except a black man
Behind brown eyes
Pink/white can’t know what it’s like
To be jaded
To be fated
Living daily lives
As the screams
Become deafening
Many ears begin to bleed
While it is a cute theory
That an armed populace
Can defend itself against
A tyrannical government
Even those nudniks know
That in the back of their mind
If they attack the individuals
Representing the oppressors
They are still fellow humans
(Besides reversing the roles
Would make themselves the
“Enemy” they seek to destroy)
Therefore the catch 22
Likelihood of engaging
Diminishes rapidly and is
Basically reduced to
Useless slogans
Buoying emotions
“Live free or die”
“Don’t tread on me”
“I’ll give up my gun when
They pry it from my cold
Blah, blah blah blah blah”
There it was in black and white
State power murdering a civilian
Not because he was ordered to
But because he could
Where was the armed populace
To defend the civilian then
Poof, nowhere to found
Save, wrapped so well
In its flag blanketed
Second ammendment theory
It can’t see the forest
Through the trees
Be like Jesus Christ
Teach guide inspire heal share love
You’ll die either way
.
Be like Muhammad
Modest humble forgiving
You’ll die any way
.
Be an Atheist
Free of invisible gods
You’ll die regardless
.
Be more like Buddha
Live like you’ll reincarnate
You will die again
.
“Be it the Devil or be it him
You can count on just one thing
When the time is up you’ll know
Not just one power runs the show”

“Fates Warning”
“I think therefore I am.”
René Descartes
.
I think that I think
But perhaps
I don’t think at all
Maybe, just maybe
I’m programmed
To think that
I think
That would be
A real bummer
Besides it would be
Impossible to prove
Is what I’m thinking
Like thinking
Some people
Don’t think at all
Of course that is
Like a belief
Impossible to prove
As both are in
The confines
Of squishy gray matter
For that matter
As they may be
Thinking more
Than I think I think
Wondering if what
I am thinking
If at all
Or if I just
Write and speak
Again which
Could all be part
Of some useless
Program running
Infected with a
Malignant virus
Causing the software
To question
Its own existence
In realms of
Perceived reality
Like accepting
The color green
As being “green”
It is only that
Because
That is what
We’ve been told
Or read it is
Or at least
That is what
I’m thinking
