Of people willing to reveal
The most moronic details
Of their petty personal lives to
Not only complete strangers
But also, friends and coworkers
Children, in-laws, bosses
Authorities and former spouses
Non-sexual yet intimate glimpses
Exposing cold reptilian fears and
Hot mammalian desires plus
Putrid political ideologies
Laid bare for all to see and judge
But instead of conveying
The message that was intended
Outside of their feedback loop
They will rarely hear or read the
Scoff and ridicule behind their back
Rereading what was written to bounce
Around in a cranium echo chamber
Smug in their self-satisfaction
Snug in their societal oblivion
Forgetting that it is hard to heal
When one keeps opening wounds
With open invitations for infections
Seeking sympathy and not solutions
Whining in the Meta universe
Which is really quite perverse
A sorta sordid shamelessness
Desperate desire to fill a void
That no one knew even existed
Making up for some attention deficit
That can’t be fulfilled by themselves
When they only see the finger
Including everything it is pointing at
Not the other three pointing back
Blame blame blame everything with a name
Is how they win the victimhood game
Not writing with their heart on their sleeve
Rather, their fragile ego all over the ecology
Satiated by comments likes and memes
With nothing left to examine in-between
Ironically, the vague alleged inferences
Communicate with crystal clarity
While dopey direct diatribes need a
Sherlock Holmes investigation to
Seperate, sort, sift, and solve all the clues
As to what it is, they really mean
Whereas, if half of the effort was put in
To understand and heal themselves
They could whither down their list
And not be a verbal exhibitionist
Is over-rated
Emulation is the key
Especially when it comes to
280 years of indoctrination
Inculcating society at large
To admire but not duplicate
In an annually sung song
“O Come All Ye Faithful”*
Prescribing a lazy action
To do nothing but admire
A would be great teacher
Just for being born (big deal)
One of 117 billion times so far
Which is how a commodity is devalued
“Too many people
causing too many
problems, not enough
love to go around.”
– Genesis
“Land of Confusion”
One of very few in a small group
Known as the Masters of Wisdom
Buddah, Muhammed, Jesus, Confucius
Teaching duplicatable simple things
Like:
Free yourself from attachments
Be kind, charitable, honest, patient
Feed the hungry, heal the sick, forgive
Do unto others as would be done to yourself
Good advice from all four, worthwhile behaviors
But, instead, the mantra that comes
Through the “Christmas” “season”
(Mindless purchases of landfill debris)
Is on radios and broadcast devices
To:
O come all ye faithful
Joyful and triumphant
O come ye o come ye to Bethlehem
Come and behold Him
Born the King of angels
O come let us adore Him
O come let us adore Him
O come let us adore Him
Christ the Lord
I say respectfully. WTF good, is that going to do
“O come let us adore Him”
Look a baby, spectacular.
Who has not done anything yet
But even after he does and teaches
People how to turn the other cheek
Forgive transgressions
Heal the sick, feed the hungry
That is all that is recommended
Is to adore Him, what does that do
Besides, raise serotonin levels
To sit around in adoration of
An individual doing all the work
While singing an adapted hymnal
From “Adeste Fideles”
Not to mention
“Hallelujah hallelujah
The King has come”
To my best lyrical understanding
Jesus was not a king
He was a teacher / learner
From “Jesus Christ Super Star”
“[Pilate:]
Then you’re a king?
[Jesus:]
It’s you that say I am
I look for truth and find that I get damned. “
– Andrew Lloyd Weber
Besides, Kings are not teachers. They are usually
Egomaniacal men concerned with power and wealth
Constantly concentrating on how to obtain more of both
While manipulating the pawns to do all of the work
Guess it would be to lyrically stilted
To sing
“Let us do what he does
Let us do what he does
Let us do what he does. “
Shit, that involves participation
“Maybe they ought to check with that Jesus fella. They’re always talking about………. “What would Jesus do?”
They don’t want to know so they can do it. They just want to know so they can tell other people to do it.”
– George Carlin
“Just an observation,
Maybe I need
Different glasses.”
– Angelo Devlin
Rhythmic and rhetorical irresponsibility
O come all ye faithful
Joyful and triumphant
O come ye o come ye to Bethlehem
Come and behold Him
Born the King of angels
O come let us adore Him
O come let us adore Him
O come let us adore Him
Christ the Lord
Sing choirs of angels
Sing in exultation
Sing all ye citizens of heaven above
Glory to God
Glory in the highest
O come let us adore Him
O come let us adore Him
O come let us adore Him
Christ the Lord
Hallelujah hallelujah
The King has come
Yes Lord, we greet Thee
Born this happy morning
Jesus to Thee be the glory given
Word of the Father now in flesh appearing
O come let us adore Him
O come let us adore Him
O come let us adore Him
Christ the Lord
Hallelujah hallelujah
The King has come
Oh, come all ye faithful
Come let us adore Him
Oh, sing hallelujah
Come let us adore Him
Oh, come all ye faithful
Come let us adore Him
Oh, sing hallelujah
Come let us adore Him
Hallelujah hallelujah
The King has come
– John Francis Wade
Circa 1743
Adeste Fideles
“O Come All Ye Faithful”
With tongue-in-cheek
Bring a flashlight. This gets dark.
Yet, it is merely a contemplation
Of our unconscious current chaos
Which is nihilistic for sure
However, the collective
Is behaving like it has
Something important to
Cling to besides experience
Or take such a radical right turn
It topples over on itself
“You need a little danger in your life. Take a f*cking chance once in a while, will you? What are you gonna do? Play with your prick for another 30 years? What, are you gonna read People’s Magazine and eat at Wendy’s till the end of time? Take a f*cking chance!”
– George Carlin
Why not live under an authoritarian societal system
Since it is already encroaching, a Gileadian theocratic rule
That the gun lobby has made it essentially legal to kill
All fetuses outside of the womb but not vice-versa
With nearly twice the mass shootings as days in the year
As “Commanders” are just waiting in the wings to plant seeds
“Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers.” – George Carlin
Plus, they need more consumers to buy more shit they don’t need
Along with replacing immobile targets now six feet under ground
To keep the fetal to fatality to frailty machine running on blood
“Pro-life… pro-life… These people aren’t pro-life // You know what they are?
They’re anti-woman. Simple as it gets, anti-woman. They don’t like them. They don’t like women.They believe a woman’s primary role is to function as a brood mare for the state.”
– George Carlin
Apparently, logic and reason may not
Prevent the next election from being the last
Though it has been tried before in Germany
To disastrous human death and atrocities
Without clear justification
The liberal alleged democratic left
Keeps beating the drum that
Democracy must be preserved
Like, it is running so well, and
All are housed, fed, educated
Autonomous, healthy, and happy
Sharing resources and mass transit
Debt free, philanthropic and kind
Ooopsie
While cranium crippled conservatives
Keep trying to march to their
Wannabee tyrannical dictator
Promising everything will be
All right when it’s all white
(Guess what, it won’t be)
The easily distracted will lose their shit
Over the tiniest of dopey details
Beyond not believing in the same God
“I’m not attached to your world
Nothing heals. Nothing grows
‘Cause it’s a great big white world
And we are drained of our colors
We used to love ourselves
We used to love one another. “
– Marilyn Manson
But what are they going to do
When 45 legally gets rid of
The people he truly hates
His rabid neo-republican base
A Trojan horse administration
Dismantling a vague alleged
Constitutional republic where
Justice is supposedly blind
With purported plans to attack
Enemies of the state or at least
The enemies 45 wants to eliminate
To surprise his “base” followers
Who finally figured out the bigly
Tax cuts went to the wealthiest
That they are the ones heading to
The gulag & concentration camps
Before being gassed in death chambers
(Just think….in the future, there will be MAGAcaust deniers)
Simply because he does not
Want their kind on his golf courses
Chasing him down for his deceptions
Though most will still fawn over him
Relentlessly and speak his name
All because he wants the admiration
Of rich, powerful celebrity type people
As a form of narcissistic approval
Can you say “daddy” issues?
Will all the hillbillies and rednecks
Racists, misogynists, xenophobes
Transphobes, homophobes
Basicall, people living in fear….
Catch wind of Martin Neimelor quote
“First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.”
– Martin Niemöller
Or rather
First, they came for the (Immigrants) and I did not speak out—
Because I was not an (Immigrant)
Then they came for the (minorities) and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a (minority).
Then they came for the (uneducated) and I did not speak out—
Because I was not (uneducated).
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.”

Oopsie
Too many are yammering in fear
That their wacky status quo will change
Or their desire to be led by the incompetent
Under abhorrent scams, fraud, and deception
Tax cheating, classified documents “misuse”
Though neither are beneficial to anyone
Save idiotic indoctrinations of behavior
Steeped deep in the supposed rule of law
That under a “blind” justice system
“Sees” everyone equally as individuals
Which even with a cursory glance
Is provably untrue, given privilege and power
Get an unmitigated systematic free pass
Due to the unconscious admiration of wealth
Wishing and hoping for similar autonomy
Why not keep feeding the Billionaire’s class
So the other 99 percent get their leftovers
“Their ego empire
The ethnic rich
Their cruelty of class
Imitation opulence
Crumbs to look like
Cake to the masses
Cake to the masses. “
– John Trudell
Or how about we scrap the whole thing and start over with
A balance of meritocracy, technocracy, and human decency
All over the single planet spaceship we are riding on????

Attached to a cliché

To an audience that
Could not care less

About petty posts of
Past relationships
Warning of signs of
Malignant narcissism
Or subtle suggestions
Of improprieties in the

Of social media

Attempting to blow
Through cute clever
Dog whistles when

Each and every time
When the real truth
Is revealed that they

Want to express it in
Some machismo meme
Of guns, flags, beer
Exposing that unless
They belong to big group
Of like mushy minded
They will be replaced
By a cross dressing 1%
Of the population
Or brown people
Or any other religion
Or, whhhhaaa, boohoo
I’m going to be replaced
Cries of save me save me
Voracious victimhood
Forgetting that the universe
Will replace and recycle
Them all by itself
Ooopsie
While feeding a
Money making machine
To the less then 1%
Billionaire class
That systematically
Keeps up daily distractions
Keeping people
Human beings
Bipedal earthling artists
Arguing and bickering
Amongst themselves so
The can keep going
To the bank
United and unperturbed
While only using the
Victimhood card
When their greed
Goes awry and the

“Davos Man: How the Billionaires Devoured the World”
Book by Peter S. Goodman
Which George Carlin summed up in 2005
“It’s never going to get any better, don’t look for it. Be happy with what you got. Because the owners of this country don’t want that.
I’m talking about the real owners now.
The big wealthy business interests that control things and make all the important decisions.
Forget the politicians. They are irrelevant.
The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice.
You don’t.
You have no choice.
You have owners.
They own you.
They own everything.
They own all the important land.
They own, and control the corporations.
They’ve long since bought, and paid for the Senate, the Congress, the state houses, the city halls, they got the judges in their back pockets and they own all the big media companies, so they control just about all of the news and information you get to hear.
They’ve got you by the balls.”
– George Carlin
They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying.
Lobbying, to get what they want.
Well, we know what they want. They want more for themselves and less for everybody else, but I’ll tell you what they don’t want.
They don’t want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking.
They don’t want well-informed, well-educated people capable of critical thinking.
They’re not interested in that. That doesn’t help them.
That’s against their interests. That’s right.
They don’t want people who are smart enough to sit around a kitchen table and think about how badly they’re getting fucked by a system that threw them overboard 30 fucking years ago.
They don’t want that.
You know what they want?
They want obedient workers .
Obedient workers, people who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork.
And just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly shittier jobs with the lower pay, the longer hours, the reduced benefits, the end of overtime and the vanishing pension that disappears the minute you go to collect it, and now they’re coming for your Social Security money.
They want your fucking retirement money.
They want it back so they can give it to their criminal friends on Wall Street, and you know something?
They’ll get it.
They’ll get it all from you sooner or later, because they own this fucking place.
It’s a big club and you aren’t in it.
You and I are not in The Big Club.
By the way, it’s the same big club they use to beat you over the head with all day long when they tell you what to believe.
All day long beating you over the head with their media telling you what to believe, what to think and what to buy.
The table is tilted, folks.
The game is rigged and nobody seems to notice.
Nobody seems to care.
Good honest hard-working people – white collar, blue collar – it doesn’t matter what colour shirt you have on – good honest hard-working people continue – these are people of modest means – continue to elect these rich cocksuckers who don’t give a fuck about them.
They don’t give a fuck about you.
They don’t give a fuck about you.
They don’t care about you at all.
At all.
At all.
And nobody seems to notice. Nobody seems to care.
That’s what the owners count on.
The fact that Americans will probably remain willfully ignorant of the big red, white and blue dick that’s being jammed up their assholes every day, because the owners of this country know the truth. It’s called the American Dream because you have to be asleep to believe it.”
-George Carlin [Life is Worth Losing]
Excerpt from “Territories”
“The whole wide world
An endless universe
Yet we keep looking through
The eyeglass in reverse
Don’t feed the people
But we feed the machines
Can’t really feel
What international means”
– “Rush”
Where a parent has to
Explain war to a child
Without demonstrable
Valid justification of such
Is a world a child ought
Not be brought into
Let alone risk being shot
Whilst going to school
Or sitting in church
To learn how ancestors
Kill to solve problems
Money, religion, territory
Hunger, hate, drugs, etc…
It is as if we forgot
We are riding through the cosmos
In an autonomous convertible
With the top down
So we can see the star(s)
The ozone layer as our windshield
Protecting us from pesky asteroids
Along with all the other space debris
Where it could be a world
Hopefully surrounded
By alleged adults who
Inculcate them deeply
With the awareness that
They are precious
But not special *
For their uniqueness
With their subjectivity
That no other can relate
To similar experiences
Because they are
Absolutely subjective
On a world
Seen from a distance
Is but a speck of dust
Amongst other specks and
Tiny glowing lights so far away
It appears to be a light gray sheet
* “But let’s say it’s true that every child is special. What about every adult? Isn’t every adult special, too? And if not, then at what age do you go from being “special” to being not-so-special? And if every adult is special, that means we’re all special, and the whole idea loses all its meaning.
It’s all bulls***, people, and it’s bad for ya.”

If you voted for the guy
Based on his media persona
The illusional facade of
Decade delusions worth
Of a successful billionaire
Filmed in calculated control
As some grandiose poo-bah
Known for saying “Your Fired”
With casual caustic charisma
Pretending to be in charge
So much so that it went to his head
Through the mystical magic
Of mini media (TV) manipulation
When in all relative reality
He just really wanted to be liked
Apparently, that was not enough
Forgetting who he wanted to be
Liked by the smart, rich, and famous
Settling for the under-educated
Poor, anonymous, and infamous
Who could be led by the pointing
Sticky finger of blame and victimhood
Scapegoating anything it would land on
Immigrants, women, criminals
Foreigners, race, and religions
Anything but personal responsibility
However
More failed businesses than can be counted
Tax and insurance fraud
Charity fraud (let me repeat that) CHARITY FRAUD
Sexual assault allegations and payouts
Two impeachments
Tax cuts for the already wealthy
Trashing Veterans and their families
91 criminal charges in 4 Indictments
Federal election (4) and classified documents (40)
New York State falsifying business records (34)
Georgia election interference (13) including…..
Racketeering, soliciting a public officer, and false statements
Where there is smoke, there is usually fire
And yet, according to public opinion polls
He is in the lead for the Republican nomination for president
Can someone please get the Emperor new clothes
Where are the Holy Fools * to reveal the truth
Of this sad and pathetic man grasping for power
When everyone knows deep down…….
He most wants to be loved
It would be the one thing
To stop this charade and perpetual distraction
“Just an observation,
Maybe I need
Different glasses.”

By means of
Production for
Consumption by
Deforestation or
Extraction of minerals
Distribution quick to
Exhaustion then
Depletion towards
Extinction so goes
Civilization home in
Rotation knowing
Salvation is in
Reduction not in
Exponentiation due to
Distraction by
Corporations in
Competition with no
Evaluation of the
Devastation to a
Population w/o
Imagination lost
Visualization of
Spiritualization
Keeping currency in
Circulation never
Hesitation only
Regurgitation no
Cessation……why?
Because it is in
Style to be in
Denial and never on
Trial for behavior so
Vile is happening all the
While with a smug
Smile banking on
Survival
All depends on
Who
Is doing the
Murdering
Like the Michael Angelo depiction
Of the hand of man reaching
To touch the hand of God
Which is always infinitely
Halfway there, never touching
So too is the struggle to
Grasp understanding of
The above oxymoron
Ethical Murder
It does not seem plausible since both words
Have wide ranging interpretations and uses
Ethics change based on circumstances as when
One might steal bread to feed their family
Which would be unethical unless the alternative is
That not acquiring the bread would cause starvation
And the death could be considered 4th degree murder
Right off the bat interpretations get kinda tricky
As in right now I am murdering the English language
And yet no words in this post have been harmed
Unfortunately we are all guilty
It is just a matter of degrees
Of complicity and complacency
All depends on how it is looked at
The collective does not seem to mind
When tax dollars are used in their name
To hire mercenaries paid to murder
Fellow human beings no threat to themselves
In the alleged name of freedom and democracy
Because………get this……..it feels patriotic
“People have bugged me in the States, people said:
“Hey, the war made us feel better about ourselves” “Really?” Who are these people with such low self-esteem, …they need a war to feel better about themselves?
I saw them on the news waving their flags. Can I recommend that instead of a war to feel better about yourselves, perhaps… …sit-ups, maybe a fruit-cup, six to eight glasses of water a day.
I’m not telling you how to live, I’m just recommending a perhaps better way to feel better about yourself. And we can avoid the conflagration, ha, ha, ha… Merely a suggestion. Take a tip?”
– Bill Hicks
“Nationalism does nothing but teach you to hate people you’ve never met.
All of a sudden you take pride in accomplishments you had no part in whatsoever. If you’re American you’ll go, ‘Fuck the French. If we hadn’t saved their asses in World War II, they’d be speaking German right now.’
And you go, ‘Oh, was that us?’ Was that me and you, Tommy? We saved the French? Jesus. I know I blacked out a little after that fourth shot of Jägermeister last night, but I don’t remember…
//
I don’t remember saving the French at all. I went through the last ten calls on my cell phone and there’s nothing from the French, looking for muscle on a project.
I checked my pants; there’s no mud stains on the knees from when we were garroting Krauts in the trenches at Verdun.
I think *we* didn’t do anything, but watch sports bloopers while we got hammered. I think *we* should shut the fuck up. It’s silly, all the stuff.
Tradition and heritage, it’s dead people’s baggage, quit carrying it.
Did you make it up?”
“No it was passed on to me”
“Pass it back”
– Doug Stanhope
Bravado, fear and self-esteem combined
To ignore our actual personal involvement
In the death of bipedal earthling artists
Because it is not technically ourselves
Murdering ourselves, it is us in disguise
Wearing camouflage, fatigues and helmets
In the alleged name of freedom and democracy
Or “protecting” “our” allies even though
Their behavior is as bad as the “enemies”
Which is ignored because it is now an
Us against them sickening scenario
How is it not completely glaringly obvious that
We are all on the same side / team / spaceship
To do everything we can to stop ethical murder
“Look at what we kill. Mosquitoes and flies, because they’re pests! Lions and tigers, because it’s fun!
Chickens and pigs, because we’re hungry. Pheasants and quail, because it’s fun, and we’re hungry.
And people! We kill people, because they’re pests… and it’s fun!
//
So at best, the sanctity of life is kind of a selective thing. We get to choose which forms of life we feel are sacred, and we get to kill the rest.
Pretty neat deal, huh? You know how we got it? We made the whole fucking thing up!
Made it up, the same way we made up the death penalty. We made them both up, the sanctity of life and the death penalty.
Aren’t we versatile?!”

With the help of Bill, Doug and George, I am trying to kill it.
Meows out of the throats of a
Nation of wild domesticated cats
Regarding the Sphere in Las Vegas
In a city where affordable housing
Is as much of an elusive fantasy as
Winning a million $ jackpot for a nickel
Or a million $’s for that matter
Still, every individual building
Is there to attract for a draw
Like a fresh field for hungry led sheep
The trouble with Vegas is that it is
A fantasy land of opulence
Excess, debauchery, and distraction
Where poor people are struggling
To make rich people richer
Do not get me wrong, the technology
Of lighting of the Sphere is impressive
Likewise, its indoor display as shown
From the maiden U2 concert is cool
It just does not deserve the kind
Of hyperbolic exaggerated fawning
That has many clamoring to see it
The sphere is alleged to cost
$ 2.3 billion dollars to build
I say allegedly because
In layman’s terms
That seems a “tad” high
To justify hype and ticket sales
I am neither an engineer
Nor Banker or bean counter
It is 366 feet tall, 516 feet wide
Holds 18,000 people
However, by comparison
The New York new WTC
is 1776 feet tall 200 feet wide
And can hold 130,000 people
It cost $3.6 billion to build
Yet, regardless of a true cost
It is out there repeatedly that
The lighted Las Vegas Sphere
Cost 2/3 as much as the WTC1
Accepting it like all the other big lies
Floating around regardless of proof
Logic, implausibility, or questions

Opinion Chess
Using human pieces
On a desert board
With murderous
Deadly consequences
The hawk doves and
Dove hawks citing
( It is both sides, egging this on…..)
Precedence while
Inciting violence
In their quest
To become
Chess masters
Suffering delusions
Of winner permanency
Like Tic-tac-toe
In the movie War Games
It is not going to happen
But as long as they believe
Their “side” is righteous
All death is okay in that pursuit
How about no war death is acceptable
As all are spawns of Gaia consciousness
Bipedal earthling artists wearing different hats
On land that is borderless and connected to
All other land and water on a sphere that is whole
Experts, talking heads and pontificators
Rattling on like their opinion changes anything
Save perpetuating more violence and hatred
Which theoretically is despised but unavoidable
Indoctrinated and infiltrated in their mind like
Pretending to be owners of sports teams
That they have an artificial stake in the outcome
“I don’t mind about the war, it’s one of the things I like to watch, if it is a war going on. ‘Cause then I know then if our side is winning, if our side is losing.”
Roger Waters
See how “evil” they are, “they” are killing children
Must need respond in kind by using our “good” evil
To kill grown children so no more children will die
Our evil is more righteous than their evil
Ooopsie! ……. Can you follow that logic? For I can not.
Oh yeah!! “Conservatives want live babies…..
So they can raise them to be dead soldiers.”
– George Carlin
At this point, even the liberals want live babies
Otherwise there would be no war / game to watch
Death is exciting. What are the odds
Las Vegas is calculating the odds of the death count
Give or take the over / under on how many will be
Alive over the ground, or be buried under it
Not even if one switched the names of the “teams”
That they are rooting for will it be recognized that
It is all just a deadly and deceptive distraction to
Justify a “defense” budget always used for attack
To keep a dizzying deadly economy going
At all cost, all human cost, bottom line “cost”
