Are for people who
Like to eat their
Hamburger
With a……..spoon
Of words
Their definition and intention
Lose their meaning
If they are read
By eyes that can not see
If they are received
By ears that can not hear
If they are stored
By minds that can not think
If they are touched
By hearts that can not feel
If they are spoken
By mouths that can not communicate
.
Put in context in ways
That uplift move and motivate
Utilize words to their fullest
Significance
.
It is about marketing and advertising
And in this useless cycle of picking
Pepsi over Coke in a never ending
Choice of …….. sugary water over
You guessed it more sugary water
Neither with any nutritional value
The people once again have lost
To their corporate slave masters
So beaten and worn the #uck out
They have forgotten the pure water
It takes as the base to make them
Of which their body dutifully filters
Out the toxicity unconsciously imbibed
Due to marketing and advertising
So what can we do to enhance our
Innate ability like the planet itself has
As a self correcting cleansing system
To evolve as divine beings destined
To be meek enough to inherit the earth
Before I make this uselessly longer
Will stop with my closing quote
“Just an observation, maybe I need different glasses.”
– Angelo Devlin
As soon as you attach a concept
To a perception
It loses its meaning
For it may be much more
Than the identifier
You have assigned it
Or it could be spot-on
However……..
You may be completely
Wrong
But one will never know that
For sure until it has been
Questioned and re-examined
In different lights and
Indifferent perspectives
Like
Everything happens for a reason
Then whatever the one “thing” is
The “thing” typically gets assigned
A reason
Though none, one or
Many may be true
Where it loses its meaning
Is where other considerations
Are abandoned
For the sake of convenience
“Just an observation, maybe I need different glasses.”
– Angelo Devlin
Have some
F#%@ing dignity
You lost
Mexico did not
Pay for the wall
You caged children
Separated families
Never released taxes
Packed the courts
Scarred the Post Office
Foisted fear
Golfed like a fiend
After you promised
You’d be too busy
Lied so bad you lose
1st ammendment privileges
Go home
Spend some time
With your family
Just breathe
Exhale negativity
Inhale civility
Exhale deception
Inhale connection
Exhale racism
Inhale humanism
Exhale cynicism
Inhale optimism
Exhale corruption
Inhale resolution
Exhale divisiveness
Inhale kindness
Exhale collusion
Inhale revolution
“I can feel you breathe, just breathe
In a way I know my heart is waking up
As all the walls come tumbling down
Closer than I’ve ever felt before
And I know, and you know
There’s no need for words right now
I can feel you breathe
Washing over me”
– Faith Hill
“Breathe”
I doubt she meant it for this context
But what the heck.
“Just an observation, maybe I need different glasses.”
– Angelo Devlin
A convoluted notion
That a “career” politician
Is supposed to have
Accomplished anything
No one has
Including me or you
Speaking for myself
At my job / career
In thirty five years
Of driving, I’ve driven
Around Two Million
Miles almost entirely
Incident / accident free
That’s hardly an accomplishment
When it is what is expected
Shuffling scheisse back and forth
Across the interstate…does what?
(Though each time I try to do it
Safer, more courteous and kinder)
What can anybody accomplish
That will not need to be
Re-accomplished by others
This is when you realize
There is nothing to accomplish
Save spiritual enlightenment
And that is not going to happen
Not as a human being it’s not
Not while the spirit
Is in the machine
So arguing that “Joe”
Hasn’t accomplished
Anything in 47 years
He should just agree he hasn’t
Except adapt grow and evolve
Into a better person kinder more
Evolved, inclusive, that serves
(By the way, that is all we are here for)
(I don’t know if he has, it appears so)
No offense, but let’s say
Doctors do not accomplish anything
Except try to heal the sick and wounded
In lifelong careers of always “practicing”
Not one doctor has ever caused
Anyone to achieve immortality
So what did 45 do in 47 years
Except fail at every venture
Casinos….I don’t know about you
I have always left with less
Money than I put in
What is left behind goes to
The “State” then the “owners”
What happened there?
Did the State take too much
(He “should”…….sue them)
Schools, steaks, wine, marriages
And don’t kid yourself
He failed at real estate too
Otherwise he would not be in hock
To “foreign” banks and other “entities”
45 is excelling at the Presidential
Liar leader board 22,000 thus far
Speaking of “leader boards”
Isn’t he knows for cheating at golf
Of which he promised not to play
While pretending to be president
As long as I’m presenting useless
Information to sort out what are some
Weak arguments over accomplishments
That is if you’ve read this far
Darts
A game many people play
Some of which are professionals
The goal is to get as
Many points as possible
Playing from 301 to Zero
Usually by hitting the “bullseye”
Even the players who have played
For 47 years are shy of their mark
So if a professional dart player
After 47 years of playing
Doesn’t win every time
Should they just not play
After all that time
They have accomplished nothing
Especially when someone comes along who has never played darts, tells everybody he is the best dart player. Doesn’t even aim for the bullseye , convinces his supporters the board is rigged. That he hit the board and that is what counts. Blah blah blah, you get the idea.

Of doubt
Have been planted
In that fertile ground
Betwixt your ears
Of who should actually
Be the president
But not enough to
Burgeon a concept
Inspire revolutions
Invoking radical change
That any “system”
Of government that
Does not collectively
Feed and shelter every
Last earthly inhabitant
Making sure all have
Clean drinking water
Working sewage systems
Without living in fear
Of starvation and war
Then the growth
From the seeds
Will just be as
Unwanted weeds
Inundating the
Decaying brain
That knows neither
Rest or peace
Keep hearing from people
Who like to hear their voice
They can’t wait until
The election is over
So they can quit
Wearing these
Stupid masks
Do they know something
I don’t?
Me:
Who adheres to the rule
“If you have nothing to say….say nothing”
Wonders silently
WTF are they yapping about?
Must they think
Regardless of
Or in regards to
An alleged election of
Two possible outcomes
This whole “mask thingy”
Is going awayyyyy?
Other countries have
Nipped this in the bud
Our alleged leadership
Just confessed it gave up
Quite a while ago
At least from the cheap seats
Coworkers are becoming
Temporary un-persons
Vaporized by a virus
Disappearing at random
Only to surface two weeks later
With tales of woe or wonder
Bestowed upon us by God
Are logic, reason, and love
Not necessarily in that order
And just to be clear
I do not subscribe to the
Notion that God is an old
White guy grandfatherly
Santa Clause type of entity
Who likes to pit his leftover
Creations against each other
(After he drowned the first batch)
Because they’ve read different books
Usually in ritualistic bloodbaths
Over ideologies oil and power
As a male dominator God while
Sitting on a cloud in the sky
Who watches everything we do
Say, think and is looking out for us
Because that is not reasonable
Logical and is devoid of love
As it defies three of the three gifts
Love, logic, and reason God gave us
Rather a divine force throughout
The infinite multiverse we occupy
On a sphere with gravity and oxygen
Trees, rocks, water, birth and decay
That allows us to make order
Out of chaos discovering a usable
System of math and science
Tools, leverage, kinetic energy
Cultivating the earth’s resources
To feed and house most inhabitants
Which we could make happen for all
If we could extricate ourselves
From detrimental mindsets of
Haves, have-nots, greed, war
In & unintentional overpopulation
Waste and blind consumption
Destroying our three gifts
Love, reason and logic
