What is actually factual?
.
Drum roll please………..
.
A : Nothing
.
If, as we are told
Or led to believe or
Read in a book somewhere
.
That everything is
Made up of atoms
With protons and neutrons
Encircling a nucleus
.
That those atoms are
The building blocks
Of matter or air
(Visible and invisible)
.
Not to mention that those
Are made up of subatomic
Particles, quarks and neutrinos
.
Yet come together consistently
In definite recognizable patterns
Noticeable in observations or
When knocking on wood
.
Warmed and illuminated by
Nuclear explosions billions
Of times millions of miles away
Light illuminating our perceptions
.
Hint (the “wood” isn’t really there)
.
Likewise understanding how a
Camera lens works the image is
Inverted working like your eyes
Making everything you see……
Upside down………sleep tight
.
In dreamland where your
Opinions are always right
Your beliefs are concrete
Facts are known to you
Because, well, just because
.
Knowing all that without proof
Of UFO’s or an afterlife
How you got here or
Where you are going
.
One must contemplate
.
Why are so many people
Willing to hang their hat on
A political ideology or a
Religious indoctrination
.
If in its base form is still
Just whizzing around at
Improbable impossible speeds
.
Alternating back and forth
Between waves and particles
Depending on when it is
Coincidentally observed
.
When broken down to the
Basis making it up is when
You realize it is all “made-up”
.
“And That’s the Truth”
“Pblblthhhh”
– Lily Tomlin
You give away might be
The power you may
Never wrest back
.
Specifically
Notions that are
Outside yourself
.
Like being separate
From the whole
In ways unimaginable
.
Mainly race religion
Politics and wealth
Tools of distraction
.
Used to construct
Divided rooms with
Distorted mirrors
.
Wandering around
Searching for truth
Peace love compassion
.
When you are the
Foundation for all
You are trampling over
.
For it is not what you
See with your eyes or
Hear with your ears
.
It is what you know
With and in your heart
Where your power is
.
Is #ucking expensive
.
Wait…….
Listen……
Near end of June
The neighborhood
Seems quieter
This year
Then in years past
.
Have we evolved
Past the adolescent
Need to see burning
Colored gun powder
Packed tightly to
Also go BOOM
.
Are we going to grow
An additional thumb
(Evolution, you know)
.
Or in all likelihood
Fireworks are just
More expensive and
Harder to get…yes
.
Which is what I discovered
While delivering three pallets
To a temporary firework stand
Making a conversational inquiry
.
Like the rest of the
Wallet gouging economy
It too is taken to task
When selling the
.
The animal frightening
Sky polluting
Ear deafening
REM disrupting
.
Not made in ‘merikkka
WMD’S
(Wasted Money Daily)
To be used in the
.
Alleged celebration
Of independence which
Is kinda hard to do when
The US owes its creditors
25 TRILLION DOLLARS
$$ 25,000,000,000,000.00
.
Doesn’t sound too independent to me
.
More like shackled to diamond
Encrusted platinum handcuffs
Bound with a palladium chain
.

Maybe I need

There is no outside
Outside of our selves
Just a cosmic reflection
In the mirror ball
That hangs in
The ballroom
Of our minds
When we catch
A glimpse of the
Gloominess of
Rain falling
It represents
The tears inside
Wanting to flow
Yet as the sphere spins
It may be as sunny
And warm as all get out
Still not catch
The right little square
That shows us
Where we are at
As it moves too fast
To follow our light
Distorted where it lands
While never stopping
Long enough to shine
Brightly inside
Or outside
Coming up soon
Beginning of July
Marking 245 years
.
Most things do not
Live that long
With good reason
.
They have lived
Their intended
Purpose at the time
.
Nope
.
Society is going to keep
Its dead and decaying
Corpse on life support
.
If it kills the whole family
The staff in constant
Exhausted code blue
.
Like Darth Vader or the
Tin man the heart is gone
Just running as a machine
.
Underneath an empty shell
Of what could have been
Had not power corrupted
.
Blindly marking its birthday
With tiny explosives bought
From a country some fear
.
While throwing away money
Into its burgeoning economy
To distract itself for three days
.
Ignoring the cold corpse
Plugged in and propped up
For a weekend at Bernie’s
.
Ought society not
Grieve its passing
Then move on
.
To ignite a new revolution
Birth a more enlightened
Planetary Constitution
.
Since awareness has
Proved us not separate from
Our siblings on a sphere
.
What a strange way to vent
About the distaste for
Fireworks and their folley
.

If society continues to honor
People who kill people
It will only continually get
More people to continuously
Kill even more and more people
.
Oddly enough the secondary
Definition of honor is privilege
.
So in that context it is placed
More exactly what it means
.
If society continues to (privilege)
People who kill people etcetera
.
Privilege
.
There is the contextual kicker
Now isn’t it, especially for who
Society is blanket “honoring”
.
According to the “Rule of law” and
Biblical BS “Thou shalt not kill”
It is “Illegal” to kill someone
.
Unless (of course) the “state” decides
Or deeply indoctrinated religious beliefs
Who it is…… legal to kill…..not only on
“Their” say-so but rather their command
.
It is a depressing dichotomy to digest
.
How did we get to this point?
.
As George Carlin might have said…
.
We made the whole fucking thing up
.
As it seems to be un-progressively
Recurring theme Infiltrating our
Collective psyche of “honoring”
………..people… who kill people
.
In both ear and eye pollution
Subtle and subconscious mantras
Collapsed into cute clichés
.
Thank a vet
Honor the military
Blue lives matter
Honor law enforcement
.
No one is suggesting that those persons
Should not be respected as individuals
.
It is when they are uniformed up and
Being paid by the taxpayers who will
Do nearly anything to save a fetus, yet
.
Will patiently wait 17 plus years or so
To use same said out of the womb
Bipedal earthling artists as target practice
.
For being a human being on the planet
With an energy source (oil, lanthanum)
Under their feet that corporations want
On the cheap therefore hire the military
.
To secure its easy access by clearing the
Area of resident civilians who have every
Right to resist their land being occupied
Under the guise of freedom and democracy
.
Likewise the bravado justification if that
Out of the womb grown fetus decides to
Enter a property uninvited to remove
Other property it might just find itself
With fatal entrance and exit wounds
.
“We do not serve or protect you
We are very blatantly a private military
Carrying out only the will of your
Capitalist ruling class
Fuck you and fuck poor people”
.
Author “Unknown”
.
It is the only industry, yes industry
Where those in its employ are given
Qualified Immunity to legally kill people
.
That would be like in health care if
The doctor knew a patient was going
To die soon could expedite the process
Utilizing the qualified immunity defense
.
On a lighter note, delivery drivers could
Use the same justification for speeding
Saying someone somewhere needed a
Package immediately therefore excessive
Speed would be a necessary action
.
Question who or what it is you honor
.
Does it impede or enhance
Our divine evolution if not
Honor what does
.
Honor thyself
.
Think…..Question…..Evolve
Girl Scout Cookies
.
Really?
.
Still?
.
2021?
.
Evolution?
.
I’m sure everyone has fond memories of
Thin Mints, Peanut Butter Pattis, or
Shortbread Trefoils……etcetera.
.
However in my perception
Names and words
Send messages
.
Subtle or direct
.
(Yes, this post started after seeing
A billboard advertising Girl Scout Cookies)
.
Even though the “Girl” “Scouts”
Are not home baking cookies
To raise funds for their “troops”
.
Rather corporate bakeries are
(Where the real profit goes)
Playing on childhood memories and
Perceived notions of “charity”
.
The underlying societal
Deeply indoctrinated message
Is that girls, females (of-males)
Best learn how to cook
.
So at least, if they are not fertile
When they get older
.
They can become “Martha’s”
To cook and clean
For their commanders
.
Instead of being “Handmaid’s”
(Broodmares for the State)
(- George Carlin)
.
I’m not looking to “cancel” “culture”
.
You can not cancel something
Society ……does not have

Culture: 2 A:

(enlightenment and excellence of taste acquired by intellectual and aesthetic training)

.
However, I know my observation
Will nary a change make
Tucked away in this obscure blog
.
But it afforded me another opportunity
To think of the ramifications of
How words work even if
Observed at 65 miles per hour
.
A precursor to a dystopian
Nightmare like Gilead

“Now, believe is a word that I have a serious problem with, right, because it has a “Lie” in the middle.
“DNA” Descendant Now Ancestor
– John Trudell
.
I know what my beliefs are
.
Stupid and malleable as
They are based on nothing
Other then what I’ve
Conjured them up to be
.
Through discernment and
Adaption from a wide variety
Of resources, information
Rumor, heresay, illusion
Books, lyrics, comedians
Broadcasters, scholars
Idiots and morons
.
Therefore the last thing
I would want to try to do
Is instill them on others
Through idioms and innuendo
.
In order to assume that
Someone hopefully agrees
With them to validate their
Non existence existence
.
That I too may be valid and
“Feel” a sense of belonging
To a group so large that it
Collectively is considered one
.
Instead of what many people do
Which is to congregate in groups
With perceived notions assuming
That their beliefs are similar enough
That they can indoctrinate others
Into believing the same thing so as
A group their existence is justified
.
By separating from the entire group
To hold opposing beliefs of others
Whilst searching for an identity within
The group because their beliefs “match”
.
Wouldn’t want to believe the obvious that
We are all one collective consciousness
.
Why……because there is no money in that
.
(Ooops, that’s my belief)
.
Don’t take these words for it
Look deep deep deep within
.
“I just think it is interesting to see how people act on their beliefs you know what I mean. Because your beliefs are just that, they are just how you were taught and raised. That doesn’t make them real.”
.
– Bill Hicks
.
Beliefs seem to be the ethereal adhesives
Contrasting to hold this chaos together
.
“The decay and disintegration of this culture is astonishingly amusing if you are emotionally detached from it.
I have always viewed it from a safe distance, knowing I don’t belong; it doesn’t include me, and it never has. no matter how you care to define it, I do not identify with the local group.
Planet, species, race, nation, state, religion, party, union, club, association, neighborhood improvement committee; I have no interest in any of it.
I love and treasure individuals as I meet them, I loathe and despise the groups they identify with and belong to.”
– George Carlin
With just enough time in between
To decipher what they might mean
.
Figuring too their expressed intent
So companies can collect the rent
.
UNSETTLED??
.
Jesus offers stability
.
1 Corinthians 3 11
.
There are so many ways to
Read or read into this ad
.
Is it an ad for a home contractor
Who does earthquake retrofitting?
.
(Like if it were attached to other
Radio and TV ads might sound)
.
“Did the most recent earthquake
Bring shakiness to your world?”
.
Call Jesus he can earthquake proof
Your home offering stability
.
Dial 1-COR-INT-HIAN Offer code 3 11
.
Perhaps not
.
I’ve heard Jesus’s stepfather was
A carpenter doesn’t mean he is
.
Maybe…..1 corinthians 3 11 is a
Bible passage, will check it out
.
“For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.”
.
Hmmm, not feeling anymore stable
.
More confused rather
Wish I kept my Cracker Jack
Super decoder ring
.
To do thorough research for this post
I kept my eye out for this billboard
It is hard to catch every nuance at
65 mph and watch the road and traffic
.
It has a photograph of a person with
Their head in their hands facing down
As the background to the large font
Eye catching headline UNSETTLED?
.
(More disturbed, in an era focused on
Not driving distracted, there are more and
More things to read from the highway)
.
On the last trip by the billboard
Noticed a barely noticeable
Logo and “something” ministries
That must have paid for the ad
.
Wouldn’t it be better if the money
From the collection plate went straight
To helping people in need, instead of
Sending cryptic messages via billboards
.
Then maybe the people helped would be
Inspired to live the Master’s teachings
.
(You know, somebody somewhere is
Beaming at their clever sign and “message”
.
Not sure how that passage offers stability
.
“For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.”
.
1 Corinthians 3 11
.
Except that the “ministrie’s” congregates
Can lure more congregants to fill the
Collection plate to put up more signs
.
I’m going with my earthquake theory
.

If x amount of people believe
That their candidate “won”
The last election in 2020
.
But due to fraud and or democrats
Had it “stolen” from him / them due
To prearranged conspiracy theories
.
How come no-one is considering
If the “they’s” were crafty enough
Once, they could do it again, noooo
.
The red flags are already flying
“45” (Don needs no extra publicity)
2024 “The Revenge Tour”
.
Since when did a position
Of public service turn into
A perceived need for revenge
.
Especially since many followers
Allege themselves to be……..
“Christ”-ians followers of…..Christ
.
Not knowing much of the fellow
Everything I’ve gleaned is that he
Is / was a teacher, a Master of Wisdom
.
Who was sent to humanity to teach
Influence, guide, show by example
What he is best known for……….
.
FORGIVENESS
.
Ooopsie
.
If the only reason he is coming back
Is to teach a refresher course that’s sad
.
One lesson lost after two thousand years
And absolutely no practice or application
Seems a very very simple lesson to me
.
Forgive ….move on….and evolve so that
That Jesus fellow can lead a graduation
Ceremony so we can implement other
Lessons like feeding the hungry
Helping the poor healing the sick
.
You know……stuff…..Christ…would do
Nope these people must be following
A different Jesus then the one written about
.
Not really leadership, rather just how to point
Fingers, place blame, shirk responsibilities
Be vengeful, petty, you know….conservative
Caucasian, gun toting, registered republicans
.
I guess in this post intelligence era
Some people can resign themselves
To the notion that their beliefs are their
“Their” God based beliefs and not of a
Benevolent power that connects everyone
.
