The listeners attention
Through pitches, tone
Scales, pauses, timing
Silences and solos
Formidable fortissimo
Crashing cymbals
Screaming guitars, tubas,
Timpanis and technology
Pleasant pianississimo
Flutes, clarinets, pianos
Triangles, chimes
Violins and whistling

Depending on use
Words of a sentence
Are arranged to capture
The readers attention
(Usually to sell something
Religion, authority, control
Crap and consumables)
Also to convey ideas
Not previously considered
Capitalization, punctuation
Complexity, simplicity
Content, context, creativity
Crassness or consideration
Emotional expletives
Exaggerated euphemisms
Repeated rhetoric
Repeated rhetoric
Standout statements
Subtle persuasions
To strike a chord
So to speak
Intention, reception and interpretation are infinitely varied. So few people are listening to the same music or reading the same sentence, because each experience is subjective.
Essentially, society is in the evolutionary stage of cave paintings in our rudimentary ability to exact an idea, that someone can vaguely grasp, what the expresser meant.
“WE ARE MONKEYS!!
It doesn’t mean there’s no god! This is where everybody gets crazy! It doesn’t mean everybody has an answer or that, you’re right!
No one says there’s no god! All I’m saying is maybe, God made a monkey which doesn’t like to think it is a monkey and lies a lot!
Doesn’t that make sense? That’s make ways more sense! That’s what we do!
We #ucking lie. You know why? Because we can’t read minds yet. That is the next stage of human evolution for sure. //
We’re slowly learning how to read each other’s minds, and when we do, liars are going to be #ucked. Religion is going to go out of business.”

The notion that any form of communication can communicate at all, is in and of itself miraculous. Thankfully I am very aware how many deaf ears and turned blind eyes this will fall upon.
Essentially writing this for myself, that I too might grasp comprehension of stuff not yet understood.

Sadly, the timing of this post
Will eventually catch up to itself
Who knew a docudrama movie, played by such a Pretty Woman would inspire so many climb on board class action lawsuits?
Did you or anyone you know, live on, near or in the vague vicinity of Camp Lejeune between 7:53 pm August 1, 1952 and 3:03 am December 31, 1987 (time added for hyperbolic exaggeration).
Did you have a glass of water while thinking of Camp Lejeune? Then quick call OUR hotline now 1 800 EXPLOIT
Do you not like the way your child turned out, especially since the alleged bundle of joy, wasn’t planned or prepared for.
Would you like to blame a corporation with deep pockets, so you can distract yourself with minute, instead of actually dealing with your offspring. Think you can attach that to aspirin, then call 1 800 BIG PILL
Do you hate ugly flowers, did you use a chemical so toxic it practically melts the indestructible plastic container it came in. With a skull and crossbones so apparent on the package it obliterated the warning, not to use unless wearing a bio-hazmat suit. We can help. Call 1 800 NO WEEDS
Same goes for similar scenarios regarding the use of talcum powder, foam fire suppressant, baby formula, hot coffee, etc..
At the law offices of Dewey, Screwem and How and our coattail hangers-on scattered across the country, like Phil MT Pockets. We will do the work for you, as soon as we spend millions of dollars on advertising to eke out just enough lazy litigants to warrant a lawsuit.
Can’t argue with numbers, except where we promise there will be no cost to you unless a settlement is reached, when we then inform you, our fee is 50 to 80 percent of the take, which may take years.

“War Of The Roses”
Wouldn’t want to graduate scientists and doctors that can determine the safety and usefulness of substances meant to interact with humans before they might cause harm.
Plus engineers that build machines to test and filter water. Find safer ways to remove foliage (I know……Napalm.) (Nevermind, that kills human also.)
Much better to have people waiting by the phone to wrangle with words, then to actively participate in working with tools, that might eliminate harm to people and prevent lawsuits.
Nevermind, that could elevate our collective consciousness in bringing balance and understanding of why we are here. Instead of manufacturing an economy of haves and have nots, with greed pigs hiring alleged Robin Hood’s to get them money, knowing who actually gets it, the middleman.

As YOUR tax dollars
Spent on a forgotten
Streaming service
Of daily entertainment
Broadcast by the news
That congress essentially
Collectively does nothing
Save, participating in
A poorly written soap
Of who is screwing who
Plotting in the open by
Revealing mini power plays
Who is going to do
What to whom, while
Guarding against not
Getting screwed themselves
Acted out by millionaires
And alleged billionaires
Overlapping storylines
That never really end
Intertwined to keep your
Eyes and ears glued
As wallets are emptied
For water cooler conversations
Plus dinner table dialog as to
“Who shot JR” or rather
Lame insurrections
Allegedly stolen documents
Laptops and liaisons
Loyalties and betrayals
Posturing and politicking
Race bating and religion hating
“Another Prophet of Disaster
Who says the ship is lost

While the sky is getting darker
The planet even hotter
Water toxic and scarcer
While pointing out that
One million are coming in
Through an open door
Whilst four million
Are burgeoning from within
Not speaking any language
Nor doing any work
Too distracted to make
Health care available
School, a safe place to learn
High speed rail a reality
Bridges that last
Potholes a thing of the past
In other words
There are alternatives
That could be tested
Instead of spending
Money Well Wasted

“John Lennon” “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
Has emerged from a recent post
The first was “Time Slice”
Which recited, recognizes
That a mistake or victory
Occurred in the past is “back there”
Making the only moment one has
Is the moment you are experiencing
“Right now” meaning “Right now”
The next one is “Mountain Top”
Slightly more complicated
Not because it has an extra syllable
Rather from the perspective that
You are controlling you “self”
From a mountain top
Through bilocation and can see
From an objective perspective
How one needs to conduct their self
Recognizing reciprocity in the big picture
A karmic kaleidoscope if you will
Most powerfully while understanding
Plus accepting the “Butterfly Effect”
“: a property of chaotic systems by which small changes in initial conditions can lead to large-scale and unpredictable variation in the future state of the system”
– M-W.com
Now, if I had a personality and a penchant for persuading people, to change their ways so that I wouldn’t have to change mine. I could write a best selling book, go on a speaking tour with these two simple mantras. “Time Slice” and “Mountain Top”, develop a fanatical following to the point I’d have to go into hiding to write another best seller, with a new four syllable mantra. “Leave Me Alone”.
But, since I don’t have that and wouldn’t want that notoriety, I am publishing them here for free. What you choose to do with them or how one plans to implement them is entirely up to you. If neither work, in any way, at least no one is out of any money. Like those paying for a secret, they already secretly know. But feel compelled to engage in a ritual for the ritual’s sake.

A brave new word
In a cowardly old world
As a crude compound of
Normal plus tragedy
Equals normaldy since
Tragedies are the norm
With barely any measurable
Linear detectable separation
Particularly with gun deaths
Reaching the statistical
Probability of predicting
When the next one(s)
Will occur as detached as
Using an actuarial table
For race, religion, youth and
Sexuality gender preferences
With higher than average
Particular targeting for dying
Earlier than from natural causes
Like any new word
Thrown into the lexicon
It would be adopted
With little resistance
Accepted like normal tragedies
Because heaven forbid
Any one do anything about it
Like stop making targets

Along with trying to figure out why our long indoctrinated, eon exhausted, unconscious compression, that murder is just another problem solver, with deadly karmic consequences.
“Why not, they’ve got all golf. WTF”
– George Carlin
Its premise and production
Could be in the same vein
As the Weather Channel
To forecast the likelihood
Of hot and cold murders
Based on extensive data collection
Of local and regional gun sales
Pockets of severe racism
Adolescent angst and
Access to deadly weapons
Parental adherence to the cliche
It takes a village to raise a child
Decisions could be made
Whether or not to
Send children to school or to
Dress them in heavy bullet proof vests
Or just a good pair of running shoes
Same goes for work violence
Were there unforseen layoffs
Or a “disgruntled” worker
Posting vengeful rants on
Saturated social media
Seems possible right
If there are algorithmic calculations
Based on quip and quick searches
Of how lava lamps work and for
Three weeks show up in an
Advertising loop on your “feed”
The same technology could be used
To determine dodging death
As a palpable prediction
If you or your children
Will live to see another sunrise
For content during the wee hours
Just like the Weather Channel
There could be reruns of significant
Mass murders like Columbine
Sandy Hook or Mandalay Bay
The close connection between
The weather and murder is that
Everyone talks about them both
But no one does anything about either
“Just an observation,
Maybe I need
Different glasses.”

Where this should have stopped.
Nope.
As long as music has become irrelevant for inspiring social change. The murder channel could adopt the acronym MTV. Murder TV.
“Murder For Nothing”
I want my—I want my MTV [4x]
Now look at them yo-yos,
That’s the way you do it
You shoot your AK47 on the MTV
That ain’t workin’ that’s the way you do it
Celebrity for nothin’, go on a shooting spree
Now that ain’t workin’ that’s the way you do it
Lemme tell ya them guys ain’t dumb
Maybe get a blister on your little finger
Maybe get a blister on your thumb
We got to bury daughters and sons
Graveyards and cemeteries
Memorized repeated eulogies
We got to sell these W MD’s
We got to glue eyes to these TVs
With deep apologies to “Dire Straights”
(A pre-ramble to The Murder Channel)
No money in change
Must be the biggest fear
In our own evolution
Against our better interests
That there is not any
Quick big immediate profit
In comprehensive change
(Change
1b : to make radically different : TRANSFORM
– M-W.COM)
That would replace fear with love
Much better to be consistently
Scaring the bejeezus out of
An ignorant population through
Distraction, deception and dichotomies
Steeped like tea in hot fear
Against a quantum leap awareness
That we are all one consciousness
Experiencing our self, self’s, selves
Through projections and perceptions
Metaphorical mirrors reflecting us
Who are, instead of assuming an enemy
Outside of us is to be battled and killed
Is really showing who needs to be changed
But alas, there is no money in change
“Big Money”
Rush
Big money goes around the world
Big money underground
Big money got a mighty voice
Big money make no sound
Big money pull a million strings
Big money hold the prize
Big money weave a mighty web
Big money draw the flies
Sometimes pushing people around
Sometimes pulling out the rug
Sometimes pushing all the buttons
Sometimes pulling out the plug
It’s the power and the glory
It’s a war in paradise
A Cinderella story
On a tumble of the dice
Big money goes around the world
Big money take a cruise
Big money leave a mighty wake
Big money leave a bruise
Big money make a million dreams
Big money spin big deals
Big money make a mighty head
Big money spin big wheels
Sometimes building ivory towers
Sometimes knocking castles down
Sometimes building you a stairway
Lock you underground
It’s that old-time religion
It’s the kingdom they would rule
It’s the fool on television
Getting paid to play the fool
It’s the power and the glory
It’s a war in paradise
A Cinderella story
On a tumble of the dice
Big money goes around the world
Big money give and take
Big money done a power of good
Big money make mistakes
Big money got a heavy hand
Big money take control
Big money got a mean streak
BIG MONEY GOT NO SOUL
Is a time slice
In the Space-Time loaf
On and on and on
Even the moments
Thinking of
Past moments or
Perceived future moments
Is still another
Slice in time
Trailing behind
An irreversible arrow
That never started and
Will never stop
“Can you dig it?”
George Carlin
Therefore the key
To know it all
Must be to know
In the moment
Each and every moment

May every moment be filled with thanks. So full with thanks, you have to give them away.
Happy Thanksgiving. Thanks for reading.
