Look Mike
You can’t have it both ways
Nevermind you are a Republican
Within 15 minutes or so
During the VP debate
Mike was touting
The accomplishments
Of 45’s administration
Of named Generals
That were murdered
Under tRump’s “authority”
Shortly after that declared
How “Pro-life” * they are
You can’t have it both ways…..
Nevermind you are a Republican
So what this means is
As long as you wear fatigues
Camouflaging as
Abortion performers
You can kill fetuses with faces
All paid for with tax dollars
(You know…the people’s money
Tanks drones sniper rifles
Euphemisms for scalpels)
If you wear a white coat
And perform abortions
Of faceless fetuses
Occasionally using tax dollars
(You know…the people’s money)
That that “murder” is against the law
You know who “should”
Have been the moderator
Jesus that’s who
Maybe then Mike would
Not have talked over the
Moderator (a female) or
His “opponent” (a female)
To make his ludicrous
Hypocritical points
I’d prefer an angry Jesus
Taking an opportunity to interrupt
Declaring he did with his body
What he chose to do with it
When he could have done otherwise
Therefore women should
Have the same choice
As daughters of God
Instead of being legislatively
Controlled by mostly men
That maybe if they weren’t
Constantly subjugated by men
They would have the esteem
To recognize which gardner
Would be best suited
To plant seeds in her garden
Which is not the way this
Patriarchy would have it
* Prior to running for president
45 was positively pro choice
Who switched to the pitiful platform
To placate the republican religious right
How can you be free
If you’ve locked yourself
Inside a mind prison
Built by the walls
Of your own making
Prejudices pride and wealth
Pacing the floor of worry
Staring at the ceiling
Of your beliefs
When not looking through the
Bars of clocks and calendars
Banks brands and businesses
Religion racism and rhetoric of
Government rules and regulations
Watching people’s herd morality
Driven over cliffs of conspiracy
That any external forces can
Keep them imprisoned
I’m trying
I am trying
To grasp the concept
That the Bible
Is the word of God
.
Methinks it is
Actually the dictionary
Word = God
God = Word
John 1:1
“In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
.
I suspect it is my lackluster
Ability to comprehend
Where many must
Find comprehension
I find contradiction
Still in little ways I persist
After starting to read the bible *
Too many times to mention
As it depends on who you
Speak with or what you hear
As how it is to be understood
Literally or metaphorically
Figuratively or actually
Also how that gets altered
Depending on what passage
You are reading or listening to
Who believes in which version
.
So after I cleared my mind
(It was almost empty to begin with)
Am giving the “Bible in 90 days”
An audio book series another shot
Having just listened to
“The Genesis Enigma” “How the
Bible is Scientifically Accurate”
.
Thinking at first that meant
“Factually” accurate which should
Have taken all of 6 pages to explain
Ironically in its attempt to argue that
“Genesis” is scientifically accurate
.
…….Makes it factually inaccurate
Ooopsie
.
If you can prove a belief
It is not a belief it’s proof
.
Psalms I kinda get
They’re like cute little
Nuggets of wisdom
That one might pull
Out of a fortune cookie
“Pride goeth before a fall”
Been there done that
Therefore it makes sense
Regardless of the “source”
.
However if I were to try to adopt
As I perceive other people’s perspectives
That God is all powerful and
Loves everyone unconditionally
It is tossed out of the window
With lines such as
Genesis 6
5 The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time 6 The Lord regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled. 7 So the Lord said, “I will wipe from the face of the earth the human race I have created—and with them the animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the ground—for I regret that I have made them.
.
Well, la de da
Proving God really loves fish
Which leads me not to believe
That it is about the difference
Between both good and evil
Rather the interwoven matrix
Of a dichotomous deity doing both
.
How else can you go from
Creating the whole world to
Being the first perpetrator of
Mass global genuine genocide
(Which will later be not okay with
One of God’s “own” “commandments”
THOUGH SHALL NOT KILL ooopsie)
.
Still being patient enough to wait
4.5 billion years to write about it
Shame regret ego power confusion
Boredom control mass manipulation
.
*
If God made all of the “beasts”
And vegetation that reproduces
After its kind male and female
And bipedal earthlings are basically
The same genetically and if “he”
Had the omniscience to know
What was created and their
Created nature why would anyone
Even God sadistic or otherwise
Make a tree of life that curious
Earthlings would want to eat of
Forget some “talking” serpent
That God also would have created
His own worst enemy perhaps…..
I am certainly no author as you can tell
But I understand if a writer or writers
Are developing the story’s characters
They need history and backgrounds
So the story can be better understood
(Especially if it is supposed to be referenced)
Or it is just an important non sequitur
Tossed in to be assumed by the reader
…….. Where did Caine’s wife come from
Prior to that who is the royal “we” in
Gen 26 “Let us make mankind in our image”
“Us” and “our” not only pseudo implies
More than one it emphatically states it
It has been rewritten enough to fix that
More later in various posts
As I am barely out of the gate
Not even to the launch pad
When you watch
A really good
Puppet show
You forget someone
Is pulling the strings
As the characters are
Either so believable
Or beyond belief that
You are caught up in
The entertainment
Of deep distraction
Yanking you away from
What you perceive to be
A humdrum boring life
When nothing could be
Further from the truth
Once you realize you are
The puppet master of you
That you are in control of
Your emotions and reactions
Thoughts and behaviors
Attitude health and consumption
Nutrition energy and production
Even the optics of presentation
How your audience accepts you
Once you understand that you
Are pulling your own strings
Are just a bunch of
Congregated cells
Built on archetypes
Run on faulty algorithms
Nourished by poison
Drunk on distraction
Blatherly espousing
Artificial intelligence
.
What I see
Is not
What I sense
For what appears
To be cloth rectangles
Bearing that one syllable
One simpleton’s name
Individual one in white
Dyed in red and or blue
Viewed not so much
As a rallying rag
More a surrender flag
.
(A token of weakness or yielding)
– m-w.com
.
Having given up
Real hopes and dreams
To a crass con man
That can push hard
Wirh promises
Backed with bupkes
Succeeding at failures
Marriages
Businesses
School
Steaks
Casinos
How do you fail at a casino
Where the best practices
Business model is…….
The “house” always wins
So when you see those signs
Plastered or waving
Know it is not support
It is surrender
.
To break the camel’s back
45’s water carriers
Will take any load
Across a desert of lies
In search of their mirage
Ignoring……..
6 Bankruptcies after
Conveniently switching
To pro life to get elected
Misogynistic behavior
Clear and disguised racism
Braggart of infidelity
Tricked taxpayers to build a wall
By saying neighbors would
Banned religions from entering
The supposed land of the free
Caged children cause they’re brown
Violated/ing emoluments clause
Impeachment
Tax fraud
Spewed over 20,000
False and misleading claims
Specializing in self serving pardons
Failed “University” of
How to be successful
Hmmmmm…..
No irony there
Charity theft
Considers military personnel
Suckers and losers
Wouldn’t / doesn’t know
The content and content
Of the bible if Jesus himself
Read it to him because
45 is not mentioned in it and
Apparently if you don’t want
The bully to beat you up
He is to be cheered on by
His mindless minions
To afraid to be themselves
Without touching the hem
Of the golden garment
Of fame and celebrity
Allegedly doing anything to
Save a fetus unless they are
Out of the womb and catch
Covid-19 then they can jolly
Well go #uck themselves
They were going to die anyway
Like we all are….eventually

If the one thing he accomplishes
Is peace in the Middle East
It will be because they will be
Backslapping and smiling so much
Laughing and guffawing at us
So hard they won’t be able to
Aim or hold their weapons
.
Playing in a virtual sandbox
One a loud mouthed bully
The other treading dignity
Monitored by a school marm
Who lost her ruler and whistle
Pleading with the bully
To behave like a president
That he might grow up
To be one one day…….
…..Nevermind
If the allegedly elected and
Supposed powers that be
And performers who present them
Had at all any of humanity’s
Best interest in heart and mind
They would do so accordingly
Making sure everyone was fed
Had plenty clean drinking water
Decent shelter and sewage systems
Doing and presenting simple credible
Ways to accomplish that ASAFP
But that’s not the case now is it
.
“That might be something that
Christ would do” – George Carlin
.
Which of course could be done
By strengthening our similarities
Instead of exaggerating our differences
Unfortunately there is no money
In that kind of behavior no story to
Frighten intimidate and manipulate by
Keeping people choosing sides of which
On a sphere has absolutely no sides
Depleting that personal power
Freely given to those who use it
In less than benevolent ways
Because it is demanded by them
.
If one word could change the world
It mighr be to change Imagine to Realize
“Imagine” (Realize)
Realize there’s no heaven
It’s easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Realize all the people
Living for today…. Aha-ah…
Realize there’s no countries
It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too
Realize all the people
Living life in peace… You…
You may say I’m a realist
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will be as one
Realize no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Realize all the people
Sharing all the world… You…
You may say I’m a realist
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will live as one
– John Lennon

You better give ’em what they really own
We got to put you down
When we come into town
Singing power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people, right on
I gotta ask you comrades and brothers
How do you treat your own woman back home
She got to be herself
So she can free herself
Singing power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people, right on
Now, now, now, now
Oh well, power to the people

Power to the people
Power to the people, right on
Power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people, right on

“Alright, next group: sex criminals. Completely incurable, you got to lock them up. You could outlaw religion and in most cities sex crimes would disappear in a couple of generations. But we don’t have time for rational solutions!”
– George Carlin
.
It is not the responsibility
Of the known (church and scouts)
Or unknown pedophile and
Sex slave trafficking rings
To stop their vile disgusting
Soul crushing behavior
It is up to the would be parents
Not to provide any fodder
.
(But that is the rational solution)
