Emotionally
Or chemically
Either way
There is
Not enough
Teeter for
My totter
No objectivity
Only self (ish)
Reflection
In a deep pool
Of malignant
Narcissism
“Just an observation, maybe I need different glasses.”
– Angelo Devlin
In the hands
Of carpenters
Or demolitionists
(Where this should have stopped)
(Captain Obvious wants to chime in)
.
How they are used
Determines what they
Build or destroy
Crafting eloquence
To inspire and uplift
Skilfully with passion
As opposed to swinging
A wrecking ball
With precision or
Reckless abandon
While both seek new tools
To perfect their craft
As the world rides along
On its beautifully ornate path
To catastrophic annihilation
.
“Just an observation, maybe I need different glasses.”

The after Christmas
Post orgasmic
Emotionally exhausted
Completely spent
Souls drained
.
New scents
Can’t conceal
The old stench of
Crass consumption
Toys gadgets and
Electronics devices
Pulled from now
Empty boxes
With pretty packaging
Thrown into black
Body less bags
Which are then
Driven slowly
To the burgeoning
Wasteland waste land
Land full
Heads hung low
Divinity’s discarded
Because the not so
Virtual reality is
Filling the planet
With sadness
While the
Global warming
Finger of blame
Is pointed
At corporations
The other three
Point at ourselves
“Just an observation, maybe I need different glasses.”
– Angelo Devlin
Always second fiddle
Never first
Nature Nurture
Combination of both
Who’s to decide which
Matters not
Don’t know how to play
Neither by ear nor score
Lessons never learned
The case is empty
The instrument broken
Held up as a prop to make
The orchestra seem fuller
Filling a vacant seat
Till the show is over
In other words
I do not know how
To conduct myself
Around other artists
“Just an observation, maybe I need different glasses.”
– Angelo Devlin
Wouldn’t it be better to celebrate
His teachings and model His behavior
Instead of honoring His birth
As that happens to everyone
Over 105 billion times thus far
Like any commodity
The more you have
The less they are worth
.
What little I have read and
Deduced about the fellow
The least spectacular thing
Is how he allegedly got here
Therefore Christmas
Really misses the point
Carrying on with gross (as in excessive)
Gross vile disgusting consumption
.
Stop carrying on you are adults
There is no such thing as
Immaculate conception
Besides
It violates one of the
Ten commandments

By proximity Joseph was God’s neighbor
That and it was probably against her will
# Mary Too # What You Don’t Know
We never hear her side of the story
.
Can we get back or forward to
Some realm of reality
That does not attach
The unqualifications of man
To an *APAKALOB that has
Eight Billion interpretations
I believe that God has a plan
I believe that God looks out for us
I believe that blah blah blah blah

“Oh, fuck, here we go again. Here we go again. The God excuse. The last refuge of a man with no answers and no argument, “They came from God.” Anything we can’t describe must have come from God.
.
Personally, folks, I believe that if your rights came from God, he would have given you the right to some food every day, and he would have given you the right to a roof over your head.
.
God would have been looking out for you.
God would have been looking out for you, you know that? He wouldn’t have been worrying about making sure you have a gun so you can get drunk on Sunday night and kill your girlfriend’s parents.”

Freewill is a nice concept
But it is delusional thinking
Rather a clever euphemism
For herd thought and morality
How else could you explain
That not one thing Jesus taught
Is really invoked in the 6 – 8 week
Lead up to His birthday party
Save cleaning out your cupboard
Giving old food to someone
You do not know and never met
Not exactly loaves and fishes
For all the empty bellies to fill
Hardly the reason for the season

WARNING: Dark all the way through
Until Hicks and Carlin shine their light
We should thank 45 for his success
Of completely discombobulating
The system of alleged democracy
Peeling away its imperialistic layers
Only to discover there is not any
“We The People” at its inner core
Just empty words as a hologram
Projected on a screen of delusion
That those three words inspire unity
If everyone would just think like one
When they only divide and conquer
Fooly examined in content and context
Reveals that if you dare to look close
Exposing wizards w/o brains heart or courage
It manifests no forfeiture of power save
The fraction it takes convincing otherwise
Matters not administration first last or next
It is all a ruse to keep most everyone docile
Impotent and tearing at their tortured soul
Where until all are housed educated and fed
Provided clean water & treated with dignity
After an intuitive reduction of seeds planted
Nurturing the rest as self divine beings
To heal and honor the loving host
The show that you enjoy watching
The ride that you keep on riding
Will continue until you are dead
Then dead again again and again
.
(It is safe to assume the above could use
Some grammatical polish but give or take
That is how it flowed from my fingertips)
“The world is like a ride in an amusement park. And when you choose to go on it, you think it’s real because that’s how powerful our minds are. And the ride goes up and down and round and round. It has thrills and chills and it’s very brightly coloured and it’s very loud and it’s fun, for a while.
Some people have been on the ride for a long time and they begin to question, is this real, or is this just a ride? And other people have remembered, and they come back to us, they say, “Hey — don’t worry, don’t be afraid, ever, because, this is just a ride…”
And we… kill those people.
“Shut him up.”
“We have a lot invested in this ride. Shut him up. Look at my furrows of worry. Look at my big bank account and my family. This just has to be real.”
Just a ride. But we always kill those good guys* who try and tell us that, you ever notice that? And let the demons run amok. But it doesn’t matter because:
“It’s just a ride. And we can change it anytime we want. It’s only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings and money. A choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love, instead, see all of us as one.”
Here’s what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride. Take all that money that we spend on weapons and defences each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace.”
– Bill Hicks

“Did you ever notice who it is? Stop to think who it is we kill? It’s always people who’ve told us to live together in harmony and try to love one another.
Jesus, Gandhi, Lincoln, John Kennedy, Bobby Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Medgar Evers, Malcolm X, John Lennon, they all said, “Try to live together peacefully.”
BAM! Right in the fucking head. Apparently we’re not ready for that.”
George Carlin
There is nothing you can
Stand on so concretely
That it will not sink you
Into an abyss of dichotomy
“Just an observation, maybe I need different glasses.”
– Angelo Devlin
If you pronounce
All words properly
Enunciate clearly
Nobody will know
Including yourself
If they were all
Spelled correctly
.
“Just an observation, maybe I need different glasses.”

– Angelo Devlin
Is to achieve nothing
Or rather no thing
No anger
No regrets
No pain
Either incurred to self
Or bestowed upon others
Looking at the world through a windshield.
