Are miracles denied
From two vantage points
Outer and inner space
Both falling in the realm
Of the unfathomable
.
First up
Outerspace
.
WOW as in Wow
I mean really WOW
.
When your parcel of the sphere
Is cloaked in darkness from its
Daily rotation @ 1000 mph (WOW)
Turning away from a not so
Stationary 9,000 degree fireball
LOOK up into a cloudless sky
Protecting you with atmosphere
That is invisible yet blocking out
All the dangerous gamma rays
Radioactivity and space debris
.
See what is referred to as stars
Light emitting spheres of heat
Millions & billions of miles away
.
“Those are huge nuclear explosions billions of miles away……and it goes on forever.”
.
Joe Rogan
.
All in a constant enough pattern so
You know your place in the cosmos
.
In my perception that is miraculous
Knowing also no invisible man put
Them there on an egotistical whim
.
Next up
Innerspace
.
Within the confines of the cranium
The squishy gray matter that operates
The eyes that see the moon and stars
Bees trees whales snails cats and dogs
Interprets that information into words
Permanently attached to identifiers
So when you see it again you know it
Fascinating absolutely fascinating
And while some interpret its workings
They do not know it is still theories
.
More miraculous still is reading this
Electronic scribbling of straight and
Curved lines put together in what is
Known as words and making sense
In a language that makes no sense
When four sounds the same as for
Has an entirely different meaning
Besides the four can be replaced by 4
But not for “for” and daily the brain
Makes those decisions for you
Automatically without question and
Regulates your breathing digestion
Heart and heart beat waste elimination
Miracles all happening behind
Up above and below a nose that smells
.
Two constant miracles happening
All the time and people have the
Audacity to concern themselves
With what is broadcast on TV and radio
Bring harm to their fellow space travelers
.
Because they are coerced into it
To keep an economy going nowhere
Dabbling in divisive distractions simply
Because it keeps them amused and
The ones perpetuating it have it too good
.
Worrying about someone might take
Their gun away but not concerning
Themselves if their neighbor has enough
Food to eat under proper shelter with heat
.
“Just an observation, maybe I need different glasses.”

Having access to
Instant information
Is about as effective
As dropping into
A jungle to grab the
First bean off any
Plant to chew it to
Enjoy a cup of coffee
.
Sure it is raw and fresh
Yet it has not been
Roasted put through
The fire and tested
Percolated and filtered
Through experts who
Have been delivering
Coffee for a long time
.
Checking to see if
The beans are taken off
A healthy plant etc
From a reliable source
So the consumer knows
It will be a good cup
Worthy of drinking
.
The only thing that will
Happen if you take the
First route is that you will be
Full of beans*
.
“Just an observation, maybe I need different glasses.”

Researching info for this post
I learned coffee starts out
As and is considered a fruit
If some things “should”
Not be written
Who is to decide
The writer
The critics
The audience
How will any know
Until it is written
If any of the above do
Each become all
Therefore can not
Objectively decide
If the critic writes
They will no longer
Be critical yet
If an audience
Loves or hates it
The decision
Isn’t really made
As it is loved
Yet hated
Let’s face it
Some people
Love to hate
If the audience
Writes
They become
The writer and
Do not know
Unless they find
A critic and
An audience
.
“These are the kind of things I think about when I’m sitting home alone and the power goes out.”

The detrimental
Byproduct of technology
Is that we are losing
Our intuition
.
No longer retaining an
Obi-Wan Jedi Knight
Knowing of any great
Disturbance in the force
.
Clever or catastrophic
Tiny or Titanic
We’ll just wait until
We see it on TV
.
Even mom’s spidey-senses
Of impending danger or
A child’s location is
Diminishing digitally
.
As their whereabouts are
Tracked and triangulated
As long as the signal has
Enough bars and is charged
.
Like not having to exercise
One’s own unused memory
As to where the car is parked
It is just a click and beep away
.
Will we ever get it back
Or will it be like our last
Nerve synapse that fails
Before sinking into an abyss
.
Turning our humanity
Over to the mean machine
Pondering this trying to realize
We’ve allowed to dehumanize
.
A two to one word change
Does not a parody make
My apologies to R.E.M.
.
“That’s me in the corner
That’s me in the spot-light
Losing intuition
Trying to keep up with you
And I don’t know if I can do it
Oh no I’ve said too much
I haven’t said enough”
.
“Just an observation, maybe I need different glasses.”

Maybe the whole point
To this existence is
There is no point to
This whole existence
.
Therefore one must
Learn to live and love
Be kind and share
.
Because if you haven’t
Up until now it is all
You need to do
Going forward
.
Forever and ever
Otherwise what is
The point
.
Because in all likelihood
All you do is change shape
Dissappear and animate
Decease and reincarnate
.
“Just an observation, maybe I need different glasses.”

Between
.
Post George Floyd death riots
And
The Capital incited insurrection
.
Except maybe
.
The former was
Leader-less
And the latter
Leader less
.
“Just an observation, maybe I need different glasses.”

I am quite the quiet contrarian
Not so much to be counterculture
As that pendulum forever swings
.
Rather evolve as more anti-culture
Which is against all norms & mores
Religious political and financial
.
Having been manifested in that order
Just past survival to control thought
Garner allies then be held in bondage
.
May be why we cling to the past like
How elephants are trained to stay on
A short chain it is all they have learned
.
When there are so many paths to take
That we may all grow brighter as
Individual sparks of the divine
.
Till we burn through every karma
So hot karma itself is incinerated
Is my sought path of natural evolution
.
Meanwhile I am the epitome of normal
Nice house with a white picket fence
Wonderful wife good job great family
Like a good conspiracy theorist
.
Keep your thoughts to yourself
Even if someone chimes in with
Concepts you might agree with
Or have the courage to disagree
.
Say nothing except hmmmm interesting
.
Otherwise before you know it
The speaker and other listeners will
Gather to extrapolate further on
Stuff they heard and over heard
.
Gleaned from reliable sources (maybe)
Because of someone they know and
Like trusted them with that information
Or broadcast again till it sinks in
.
Then just so they don’t forget it all
Will start writing it all down on paper
Editing to fill or reduce depending on
The agenda they wish to set at the time
.
With vague language to be interpreted
By self described experts who studied
The manuscript that is categorized and
Numbered for reference to simply re-explain
What it means while getting some traction
Travel all over the world in many languages
.
Varied as cultures manifest their version
Till people start killing each other over
Their version of what started as silly
Rumors and heresay in the first place
.
The one word proof of such conspiracy is
.
RELIGION
.
And we certainly don’t need another one
Of those now do we or a new bible either
.
Will it be decades or millennium before
In honor of 45’s contrived martyrdom
As a symbol of his supposed sacrifices
That he will be hanging between two flag
Draped flagpoles by his Twitter thumbs
So his worshippers of a false god have
Something to hang around their neck
Forever clinging to the divisive albatross
.
“Just an observation, maybe I need different glasses.”
.
– Angelo Devlin
While it may be a dark
Sad ironic musing that
The lady carrying a flag
“Don’t Tread On Me”
Was trampled to death
.
Somewhere on the soles
Of the souls, heavy feet
Drag carrying a heavy heart
After all of their bravado
Caused someone’s death
.
They might not even know if
Their misguided marching step
Was first last or in-between
But I’d bet their soul does
With no console from karma
.
And all for what because some
Narcissist charlatan grifter did
Not get to continue his ego
Satiating petulant Presidency
That riled racism & rebuked religion
.
Not his alleged religion, mind you
Nor those with his skin color either
One who has such a tiny concept
Of a melting pot and how it works
Would rather destroy it then cook with it
.
“Just an observation, maybe I need different glasses.”

No need to worry
Everything will be okay
Look up at the stars
They have been here forever
You are made up of star dust
.
As all of thd chaos was being
Regurgitated and repeatsd
I was driving my nightly schedule
Up and over a mountain pass
At the roadway peak
There is a place to pull over
Plus traffic is nonexistent
.
The divine opportunity to take
A few moments to look at the stars
Resolves many a human problem
.
The night was so crisp and cold
With nary a one cloud in the sky
One could literally see forever
Beyond the stars and the bs story
That allegedly placed them there
.
Not only can you see the stars
When you see the wide band cluster
You know it is as we understand it
The exquisite view of the Milky Way
.
Back to the tractor cab rolling again
Is when the news and opinion shows
Become laughable for their distractions
Coming at humanity from all sides
.
Not sure if you have the opportunity
Or such a grand location to view
Without the street light encumbrance
(That seems the biggest obstacle)
Look up at the stars realize your place
In the cosmos and enjoy the ride
.

Here is a nice long Joe Rogan bit
To help bring the blog post home
.
“Space is the most taken for granted thing ever. You know how crazy it is that it’s above you, every day and never comes up.
.
If we all lived underground or indoors, there was only one place in the whole world……where you can see space, you know how popular that *** would be?
.
Everybody would travel to see space. You just stand there and hold hands and look up and go: “There’s no ceiling, it’s *** incre… It’s mindblowing!”
.
But instead it’s there everyday like: “Oh look the Big Dipper, I should go.”
.
People travel to see the *** Grand Canyon.”Hey dude, you’ve got to go to the Grand Canyon man, dude it changed my life man””
.
I stood up there and saw that canyon, it was so immense……i just realised how small my role in the universe really is.””
.
Oh, really? Wow! Hey, how about all that ***?””(Joe Rogan points up) What the *** are you talking about? Those aren’t light bulbs mother ***!””
.
Those are huge nuclear explosions billions of miles away……and it goes on forever. Do you know what forever means?”
.
It means this whole universe of hundreds of billions of galaxies……might just be a part of one atom……it’s in the cell of the balls of one guy who lives in another universe……it’s part of one atom, that’s a cell of a ball and a guy……and it goes on and on and on FOREVER!!!””
.
And there is no *** end! And you are looking at a ditch. You just drove six hours to look at a ditch, you are a *** dummy.””
.
You can see the bottom, why is that even interesting to you?””Oh yeah, yeah, you are small, it’s big.
.
“Space is some *** crazy ***!”
.
