Even though it starts
With a “C” and ends
With a “y” turns out
.
The “I love my “Country”
People are really the
“I love my Celebrity” crowd
.
Keeping a childish
Childlike view of the world
That it is best to hear
What is going to happen
Then what actually does
.
Believing it is better to have
A wish in both hands
To rub together than knowing
.
What they have is
A wish in one hand
Fecal matter in the other
Realizing if they want
What they want
They are going to have to
Get their hands dirty
.
While understanding
No matter what
They may never
Get the blood off their hands
.
I am only an air ride seat
Psychologist however methinks
It stems from many unfulfilled
Parental promises that never
Came to fruition
But since it was “daddy”
Who was making the declarations
There will always be hope
.
That seems to be the difference
.

Death is not the
Temperature in
Which karma burns
Enlightenment is
.
Sometimes I wish
I knew from where
This scheisse
Comes from
.
It seems profound
Yet for all I know
It comes out of my
Moving fingers
Stored perhaps
In my knuckles
.
Must be for I know
Nothing of death
Karma or
Enlightenment
Devolves from healthy skepticism
When the focus is so intense
It forgets the microscope
It is looking through
While other entities
Are manipulating
Slides viewed
To see what
Matters to
Them
Not
2U
We should stop hypothesizing
And postulating on what maybe
Dead white male land holding
Slave owners intended with the
Scribblings placed on parchment
.
That was over 240 years ago
That is twelve generations past
Get over it and although you can
Barely tell, we’ve evolved since
Then, not so you’d really notice
.
At least our perception has changed
There are no countries any more
Just one planet and only one border
Known as the ozone protecting us
All of us from deadly radiation
.
Which does not discriminate based
On anyone’s religion or lack
Skin pigmentation of any hue
Gender born with or altered
Political affiliation or none
It just protects every body
Every plant animal and water
.
Land is impossible to own if you
Can not take it with you, therefore
It is a ruse for power and control
Acquisition of which is in finite supply
Rented and or never really sold just
Leased by those with paper saying
It is theirs for revenue exchange
Emptying your wallet into bank vaults
.
There you have it a starting point
To wrap one’s egotistical head around
Even one of the dead white male
Land holding slave owners
Suggested in print the above post

Where would a post like this be without
.
John Lennon’s
.
“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
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
.

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*
.

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
.

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
.

Between
.
Post George Floyd death riots
And
The Capital incited insurrection
.
Except maybe
.
The former was
Leader-less
And the latter
Leader less
