I may be the smartest
Person in the room
Or perhaps the world
However……….
I self identify as an idiot
For as soon as I think
I “know” something
I question it and run it
Through an entropic
Accelerator and quickly
Its truth disintegrates
Into the ether of doubt
With no one in my
Solipsistic skull to
Verify its validity as
Being a concrete reality
Only recognizing that
Everything is made up of
Opinions and emotions
Perception and judgements
Words and definitions
Waves and particles
With time following
A crooked arrow
But an arrow nonetheless
However, this is……
“Just an observation,
Maybe I need
Different glasses.”
– Angelo Devlin
Within dissimilar groups
Opposing each other
Unapologetically ironic
When murder is involved
Pro-Choice vs. Pro-Life
It is technically difficult to classify either as being a side, since half of each, actually “belong” to the other.
Both playing the role of pseudo-gods in their divine and dastardly decision making.
On one hand, you have those whose moniker gives them the linguistic advantage of being Pro-life. (Right to lifer’s) Because the understood opposite suggests, their nemesis is Pro-death. Also, under that umbrella, get to use that tricky little word.
“Right”
11 b : being in a correct or proper state
M-W.com
Again, defaulting to the other “side” as being “wrong” not just, left.
“These people call themselves “right to lifers.” Don’t you love that phrase? And don’t you love the way these kind of people pervert the English language?
You realize that most of the right-to-lifers are in favor of the DEATH penalty? And they support the South American DEATH squads. (Russians killing Ukrainians. Disgruntled employees and sensation starved sapiens to have, way too easy of access to WMD’s. A.K.A AK-47’s and AR-15’s)
And they’re against gun control and they’re against nuclear weapons control.
When they say “right to life,” they’re talking about “THEIR” right to decide which people should live or die.”
– George Carlin
Unfortunately Pro-Life is more of a ruse to cover for being Pro-birth. As typically, the life they are “saving” isn’t worth the money it could be paying to actually nurture, care, educate and provide.
“Pro-life conservatives are obsessed with the fetus from conception to nine months. After that, they don’t want to know about you. They don’t want to hear from you. No nothing. No neonatal care, no day care, no head start, no school lunch, no food stamps, no welfare, no nothing. If you’re preborn, you’re fine;……………………. if you’re preschool, you’re fucked.”
– George Carlin
The other side, gets to hide behind the euphemistic language of murder, by using the softer more convenient word of abortion. (Sounds like what NASA does, when conditions aren’t right, to launch a rocket. Same situation different analogy.)
This hides the double standard of military type language, by killing unarmed civilians and labeling them…..collateral damage. Ooopsie.
Funny though, how the “Pro-Choice” people, get to balance their moral high ground, of autonomy by standing on a sinking patch of quicksand by being against the death penalty. Saving people who may have committed heinous crimes from pre-planned scheduled, preventable deaths. Ooopsie.
Yet, if one considers the hypnotic research that Helen Wambach performed in “Life Before Life”, of discovering that the soul doesn’t permanently attach itself to the vehicle until right before birth. The extraction of taking the car off the lot before it can be sold, seems a fairly reasonable decision, made by the owner of the lot.
I know I kicked the tires of my vehicle, and while it is not the fastest, or shiniest, it is getting me, where I need to be. At least before I get out, to select another vehicle for the next trip.
If consistency and logic came into play, the Pro-life people would be advocating for saving fetuses and murderers, making sure they were taken care of outside of their “cell” walls. Doing everything from once they get here, to preventing them from getting where they might have gone. Methinks, that is what Jesus would have done.
Right off the bat, you would think everyone would automatically be in this group. Since the alternative would be Pro-Choice people supporting both pre to post natal abortions, murdering Jay walkers for unauthorized crossing of streets. An exaggeration perhaps, yet consistent with each’s primary focus. If one chooses to break the law, then technically have chosen to pay the consequences.
Also, it boots out the religious and racist part of the former, since it would be a collective humanitarian issue of saving all fetuses regardless of their in or out of womb status, what invisible man, they have been indoctrinated into believing in, or what color their skin might be.
However this is not the case, just more fodder for keeping people fighting with each other, since all and any death is inevitable anyway.
The nice part of their inconsistent charters, is where both “sides” agree on acceptable death, is war. The economic engine driving both busses. Fear, death, destruction, weapons, body bags, isms, ideologies, territories, energy resources, and it’s fun to watch.
“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
“What God Wants, part 1”
From “Amused To Death”
Any “casualty” will satiate their bloodthirst. Anything to display a flag draped coffin to elicit patriotism of the poor into a pseudo righteous duty to serve. Not to defend democracy, but to hijack energy resources to keep fueling the busses. Under the well worn guise / cliché of allegedly defending democracy.

Is fear
Like all wars
It is an unwinnable war
Yet, it is being waged
By the haves
So they can have more
Playing against the
Proletariat using only
Their reptilian brain
Into survival reacting
Instead of using our
Human neocortex brain
Over the primate brain
Under our divine consciousness
Recognizing the
Subtleties of suggestion
That danger is
Around the corner
Which is as substantial as
The bogeyman
Is under the bed
Unfortunately it works
The sky is falling
Banks are failing
The debt ceiling
Must be raised
(When money doesn’t exist
In the first place)
Your guns “might” be taken
Otherwise
“You” will be replaced
Eastasia is going
To attack Oceania
…..must needs prepare
Which means nothing
Other than consume
More consumables
While one can
When everyone can
As often as they can
Kind of a reverse
Perverse Pascal wager
Believing in God
That will provide
No matter what
But……..just in case
Buy something now
To satiate serotonin
Because it is so
Momentary
Structuring socioeconomic conditions
Into layers of redundancies so that
Everyone is so busy “working” that
All are outsourcing each other to
Get what they didn’t need
In the first place at great expense
Financial, emotional, spiritual and
The most finite of costs……..time
Gone are the moments
One will never ever get back
Because of the indoctrination
You by yourself are not enough
Unless you buy lots of stuff
As if by rote
Keeping the economy afloat
“Another Prophet of Disaster
Who says the ship is lost
Another Prophet of Disaster
Leaving you to count the cost
Taunting us with Visions
Afflicting us with fear
Predicting War for millions
In the hope that one appears
//
No point asking when it is
No point asking who’s to go
No point asking what’s the game
No point asking who’s to blame
//
If you’re gonna die, die with your boots on
If you’re gonna try, well stick around
Gonna cry, just move along
If you’re gonna die, you’re gonna die
Die!”

It is not the job of
The talking heads
To give their opinion
Rather to cast upon
The audience the
Opinions that they
Did not know they had
Till someone told them
What it should be and how
With bizarre justifications
Stirring the pot of ignorance
To a rolling boil that
One can be offended
By one million humans
Crossing an invisible line
Bettering their situation
While no one objects to
The four million humans
Coming in from within
The melted pot itself

There is no proof of proof
Only proof of belief

“Inclusion:
1. : the act of including, : the state of being included”
– m-w.com
Not me, “I don’t want to belong to any group that would have me as a member.”
– Groucho Marx (attributed)
However, some people want and need, a need to be included.
What better, than to live up to the Rainbow’s intention of inclusion, than……to include…….everyone. Besides, there is already a plus (+) in the organization’s moniker, to include anyone left behind. Those who feel marginalized by society.
Perhaps LGBTQ+ brought in AOWMUOABL (Angry Old White Mem Upset Over A Beer Lable) to their group, they would feel better about themselves…….and not be so angry because they have been excluded from a group, that includes…….everyone.
Otherwise, it defeats their purpose to include everyone, if it doesn’t include everyone.
I can see it now, the Dixie flag, going from orange, blue and white to red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet, black, brown, white, pink, etc.
Next, we can all move on, to not have any flags of any separatist symbolism, only used to divide and manifest exclusion, distraction, fear, imperialism, control, etc.
Seeing as how we are all on this spaceship together, that we need to repair, so it will keep taking us through the cosmos.
“Just an observation,

Glasses, not so prismatic, so as to see everything in black and white, like apparently so many do.
That solipsism can not be
Proven nor disproven, yet
It exists as a contemplation
Because there is a word for it
“Just an observation,
Maybe I need
Different glasses.”
– Angelo Devlin
Our infinitesimal insignificance
Is in direct juxtaposition to our
Astronomical egotistical arrogance
Not realizing we are so small
The dust speck of a speck of dust
“Just an observation,
Maybe I need
Different glasses.”
Or an electron microscope….
– Angelo Devlin
On deception
Just different at the
Art of distraction
For audiences
Needing coercion
All because no one
Wants to consider
The left wing and
The right wing belong
To the same bird…..us
So each side
Tells their side
The other side
Is lying
To “their” side
Which is as bad as trying to follow
The logic of the following
“The following statement is true
The previous statement is false”
– George Carlin
Trouble is….. humans
Have an innate tendency
To believe what is heard first
Because the other tendency
Is not to question anything
Why……..because it is easier
Satiating the simplicity
So that they might slumber
On their comfy pillow
That has been oversold
The faux audience
Of the faux talking heads
Will never hear about
The Dominion lawsuit
From their faux news
Which according to rumor
Heresy, texts and emails
By other news outlets, Faux
Presented known falsehoods
For ratings, revenue and rhetoric
Ooopsie
Likewise the other sides
Are just as bad from
The other direction
Only presenting information
That keeps your rapt attention
Teasing you with teasers
Not to inform you
Of your divinity
But rather to keep
You consuming commercials
Evolutionary news
Would point out similarities
Instead of our differences
But there is no profit in that
No money in that revolution
At least not immediately
Not until many more trips
Are taken around the board
When we realize it is just
A game we are playing
The money is fake
The boardwalk is empty
The trains don’t run on time
There’s a chance you’ll go to jail
Banks own the community chest
None of it is real or permanent
Save the solipsistic sensation
That illusionary immersion
Has convinced some otherwise
On its infinite and momentary importance
“Just an observation,
Maybe I need
Different glasses.”

With its head
Hung low in shame
Its representative flag
Flies at half staff again
Need not wonder why
Just staff & students
Who did not need to die
Families only left to cry
Gurgling through
The crimson goo
With what is left
Of their last dying breath
No wonder they want
To save the fetus
Otherwise they will
Run out of targets
For everyone knows
They have the right
To be involved in a
One-sided gun fight
It doesn’t have to
Be like this
It is just that we can’t
Picture anything else
Civilized earthlings
Do not behave this way
Lest they are being
Distracted everyday
By keeping them
Living in fear
Is becoming
Abundantly clear
