(I better put the title down here
Otherwise it reads like a
Statement and not a point)
.
“On one hand”
I totally agree that 45 DJT
Had nothing to do with the
Insurrection at the Capital
.
Just as much as it is
A personal theory that
Yelling fire in a theater
Crowded or otherwise
(When there may or may
Not be an actual fire)
Is an entirely acceptable
Act of free speech that
It falls on the individual
Patrons of the theater to
Determine, either sensing
Visually or by olfactory
Intuitively or cognitively
That there is indeed a
Danger that needs heed
.
Not linguistically legislated
Parameters of a “freedom”
I will repeat that again
To let that nuance sink in
(Parameters of a “freedom”)
Under that all inclusive guise
Of the, by the and for the people.
.
That of course would dole out
Tooo much responsibility to
The individual and we can’t
Have that now can we?????
.
However…….
.
We do not operate
Like that on this planet
Not yet anyway
.
From birth you are
Assigned a name
Through repetition by
A person or persons
Who assume a role
As authority figures
Over your “well” being
Instruct you in manners
Of eating peeing pooping
Crawling walking learning
Speaking repeating
Pleasing following
Consuming wasting
Conforming obeying
.
All so you can operate
In the framework of
A law and order society
That makes them up
As they go along which can
Be ignored by certain groups
Then implemented unjustly as
Heavy handed towards others
Simply because they do not
Look like the dieing ruling class.
.
On the other hand
.
Nothing would have happened
If their alleged leader behaved
Accordingly and with civility
Taking objections through the
Courts as it did in the Florida case
Of Bush v. Gore you know
With….#UCKING…….EVIDENCE
.
Regarding the above proclivity
Of human beings to do
As they are told by imaginary
Father figures invisible
Nonexistent or otherwise
It is entirely possible that the
Domestic freedom fighters
Were taking commands from
What their TV hunkered leader
Was tweeting and speaking
.
“Just an observation, maybe I need different glasses.”

– Angelo Devlin
Is exactly that
Freedom of speech
.
Its parameters
Are not defined
By truth or lies
Blasphemy with clarity
Honesty and integrity
.
Merely anything
That speaks
To anyone or
No one at all
.
Art or garbage
Words or paint
Silk or sewage
.
Somehow though
Is interpreted
Through ego
.
Where beauty is
In the eyes
Of the blind
.
Not understanding
True freedoms
Diminishes notions of
What is acceptable
.
If you agree with it
Like only what you
See hear and sense
Interpret for self
.
As detailed or
Defined by an
Authority’s version
Entities not you
.
Is a curtailed
Freedom from
The get go
.
.
(Where this should have stopped)
.
However
If someone takes away
Your conch
It does not mean
You (Ralph) have lost your
Freedom of speech
.
It just means that you
Have nothing to say
Or it is not your turn
(It is Jack’s turn)
.
Perhaps though
You’ve placed yourself
In charge to protect
The isle of children
When you are a
Child yourself and
Can not manage to
Because you are so busy
Taking care of yourself
.

Like we are heading towards
A grand finale of Season 4
Episode 12 with Covid 19
Putting more seasons on hold
Cliff hangers at every turn as
Less then half of the audience
Cheers on their antagonist
.
What else would you expect
From a reality TV * porn star
.
As it may all come down
To those insecure about
The size of their weapon
They will be bringing their
Metal ones cocked & loaded
Ending in violent discharge
.
Unless of course it dawns
On them 45 was disguised as
A flashy Jim Jones
Without cups of Kool-aid
Just a self absorbed
Malignant narcissist
Failed bumbling
Business(con)man but
Through infamy and will
Could bring new suckers
To the table for his ego
Amusement use and discard
.
As Howard Stern has said
None of those Capital criminals
Were / are never ever going
To be invited to Mar-a-logo
Those are not “his” people though
They were convinced they were
.
Like him hoping his (their) “daddy”
Would find ways to be loved by him
Unconditionally once they prove it
.

Of broadcasting the violence
At the Capital over and over
While censoring the “curse”
Words with bleep bleep bleep
.
What are we five years old?
No wonder our evolution
Stopped at opposable thumbs
.
Must be more afraid of words
That may actually ignite a
Dialog of clarity and understanding
.
I’d rather hear and or see
Every vile and supposedly
Disgusting word in any context
.
Then witness and hear
The bloodshed and screams
Of humans at their most
Capricious cold hearted reptilian
Brutal primal ignorant nature
.
Incited by a malignant narcissist
Drowning in a deep bleak pool
Of egosyntonic reflection
.
“People much wiser than I am, have said, “I’d rather have my son watch a film with two people making love than two people trying to kill one another.”

And the warmth
Of a nice hot bath
With my ears below
The water line
.
I can hear and
Feel my
Heart beating
.
A gentle reminder
Knowing it is not
A machine hum
.
That I am not a robot
Rather a human
As a law abiding citizen
.
If you have ever
Exceeded the speed limit
You are not a law abiding citizen
.
If you have crossed a street
Other than at the crosswalk
You are not a law abiding citizen
.
If you intentionally or unintentionally
Failed to report some income
You are not a law abiding citizen
.
If you ever “stormed” the US Capital
Because 45 said it was the thing to do
You are not a law abiding citizen
.
What you actually are
Is a selective law abiding citizen
Pretty neat deal huh
.
Therefore you are only guilty
Of not being a law abiding citizen
If you get caught on cameras
And egotistical selfies
While perpetuating a crime
.
Unless of course you are
The head muckety muck
Charged with upholding and defending
The primary laws of all the land
Then in all likelihood you can
Get away with whatever while
Watching your bank of screens
Performing your mental masturbation
That this is all about you and your ego
As the cardboard thin walls
Of an alleged democracy
House of cards come tumbling down
But still it is all about you
So it is okay
.

This blog is no
Sistine Chapel
Just artsy little
Word paintings
Made while
Lying on my back
Hoping someday
With enough
Outlier practice
Will eventually paint
My Michael Angelo
Masterpiece of
Nearly touching the
Hand of God
Then I can take
My scaffolding down
And go home
.
Quite frankly though
Most of these
Digital canvases ought
Not to have seen the
Light emitting diodes
Of day or night
.
Yet the only way to
Carnegie Hall is
Practice practice practice
A con man till the end
Another shell to move
With a slight of hand
Before his fan’s eyes
Tricks up his sleeve
Will they ever recognize
45 told nothing but lies
Course not why would they
It is their form of play
As long as they believe
They have not been conned
But if they were…it’s OK
As long as it was for
The greater good
Without admission
That’s understood
Keep going about your business
While he pads his with yours
Two hundred million
Dollars and counting
Right from under your nose
An alleged rigged election
Under a moving shell
As his audience ponies up
Only to watch him walk away
With their loot for he was
Their Grifter King
Why is it some people
Feel the need
To fart out
Their opinions
Like an uncapped
Gas line
.
When you take an audible glimpse
Of what they listen to and watch
You discover their opinions
Are not their own
Just rhetorical repeats
From talking heads
Getting paid to expel methane
.
Observing allegedly grown adults
Engaging in farting contests
On FB and around water coolers
Wafting them in and around
In a pseudo plan of winning
Like in a chili cook-off where
The best recipe is adopted
As a base formula for all chili
.
The smelliest one that gets to me
Is the use of socialism
As a bogeyman word
To frighten people
Who simply choose not to think
.
For example that a $2B a day
Defense and military budget
Is a grotesque example of
Corporate and gov’t socialism
Paying people to produce shit
That ends up (thankfully) unused
Which is still socialism
From a different perspective
.
That part they don’t fart about
Because they would realize
How hypocritical they are
As it falls under the pretense
Of national security and defense
You know macho prick waving stuff*
.
I am no economists however
Methinks that $2B a day WMD habit
Could be better spent on
Education birth control
Housing infrastructure
Clean drinking water systems
That itself could eliminate
The bottled water industry
That puts all that plastic
And garbage into the oceans
We seem to have to keep cleaning
.
I guess if the above is considered
More of an opinion and
Not an observation I will apologize
In advance for letting that rip
.
*“I happen to agree with most of the feminist philosophy I have read. I agree, for instance, that for the most part, men are vain, ignorant, greedy, brutal assholes who’ve just about ruined this planet. Who’ve just about ruined this planet because they’re afraid someone might have a bigger dick out there somewhere.
.
Men are basically insecure about the size of their dicks and so they go to war over it.
.
You don’t have to be a political scientist or a history major to see the Bigger Dick Foreign Policy Theory at work. It goes something like this: “What? They have bigger dicks? Bomb them!”
.
And of course the bombs and the bullets and the rockets are all shaped like dicks. I don’t understand that part of it, but it is part of the equation.
.
So I agree with that abstract – that man/men/males have pushed the technology that just about has this planet in a stranglehold. Mother Earth raped again. Guess who – “Hey, she was asking for it.”

Will ever ever limit
The manufacturing
Sale and distribution of
Weapons of mass destruction
From handguns to hand grenades
Bullets to bombs
Ships to submarines
.
Nor implement the
Confiscation or destruction
Of said devices
However our survival and
Evolution as an intelligent
Carbon based life form
Will demand it
.
(Where this should have stopped.)
.
In the infinite cosmos and
The cosmological infinite
Where energy is neither
Created or destroyed
Reincarnation and karma
Are most likely true
Although unproven
It makes WMD’s seem
Like toys to children
That when they grow up will
Wonder why they were ever
Played with in the first place
