I changed my mind
I want the blue pill
I think maybe I should
Perhaps not I don’t know
The rabbit hole just leads
To another rabbit hole
Only holes no rabbits
Yes, I am seriously considering it
I see all of the other matrix patrons
So happy in their miserable lives
Knowing that they are on
The right side of wrong
But still they have a side
I can already picture myself sitting
In a comfortable bean bag chair
Believing what I’m told and read
That there are good and bad people
That good people go to heaven
And bad people go to hell
Knowing neither exist except In
Some delusional indoctrination of
Mass hypnosis passively perpetrated
Generation after generation because
The “known” is sooooo comfortable
It is much easier to deal with when
Compartmentalized in to either
Black or white, male or female
Rich or poor, laws or anarchy
Democracy or communism
Carnivores or vegans
That there are no in-betweens
Knowing I too can be
Miserable in my happiness
Wait…………..nevermind …………
I just saw a rascally rabbit. I must go
Itself into thinking
It knows what it knows
When it only knows
What it has been
Programmed to know
Pavlovianly trained
To react to stimulus
The way it is expected
To its reptilian origins
Fight or flight to survive
Eat or be eaten to live
When will it be free
To know so much more
When inner and outer
Space is open to explore
Instead of sealing its doom
By its desire to consume
Defending The Indefensible
Is Offensive To The Unoffended
.
I am not offended
I am amazed and amused
By the sheer amount of people
Still clinging to celebrity
Who will decry fake news
Yet attach to fake leadership
Blame media for misinformation
Still accept the “leaders” lies *
Unreleased taxes & crowd size
Grabbing the thing between thighs
Using a vocabulary so minimal
Even that seems criminal
Said he’d never play golf **
Playing 275 times seems a bit off
If an economic train is moving then
When it is time to switch conductors
You are responsible once taking over
Conductor 44 didn’t blame the 43rd
For how poorly it was running just
Simply delegated to make it run
Losers blame winners lead
Or perhaps it is like a relay race
If the hand off goes smoothly
Then you stumble half way
Around the track it is not the fault
Of the runner who passed the baton
.

As of May 29, his 1,226th day in office, Trump had made 19,127 false or misleading claims, according to the Fact Checker’s database that analyzes, categorizes and tracks every suspect statement he has uttered. That’s almost 16 claims a day over the course of his presidency. So far this year, he’s averaging just over 22 claims a day, similar to the pace he set in 2019.

“Mr. Trump has reportedly been on the grounds of his golf courses or played golf elsewhere 275 times since becoming President, and that’s as of July 11, 2020.”

Defending the indefensible by casting blame for similar indiscretions is ignoring the fact that two wrongs don’t make a right. Children do that because it immediately switches the focus.
Not To Worry
There is no pardon
From Karma
.
I beg your pardon. Wait scratch that.
I think……..I’ll leverage my pardon.
Roger Stone said of Trump, “He knows I was under enormous pressure to turn on him.
It would have eased my situation considerably. But I didn’t,” according to a tweet by *Fineman.

“I screamed aloud to the old man
I said don’t lie, don’t say you don’t know
I say you’ll pay for this mischief
In this world or the next
Oh and then he fixed me with a freezing glance
And the hell fires raged in his eyes
He said you wanna know the truth son?
Lord, I’ll tell you the truth
Your soul’s gonna burn in a lake of fire”

The height of
One’s moral
High ground
Pointing out
Perhaps
Rightfully so
That a shoe co
Pays celebrities
Countless of
Millions of dollars
For “endorsements”
While the
Assemblers
Make pennies
So you decide to
Make a stand
By farting in public
AKA fb “post”
To declare you
Will “never” buy
That “brand” ever
Ever till you “forget”
And buy a pair because
They are on “sale”
Or they are what
A nephew really wants
You’ve “stood up”
For nothing for
You’d be better off
Using those sneakers
To run to your nearest
Congress or senate person
Beg and plead with them
To stop taking
Your hard earned money
In the form of taxes
That goes directly to
The military industrial complex
On to corporations that goes to
Making weapons of mass of
Either large or small destruction
You know bombs or bullets
That get used to murder
People circumstantially
Walking and living
Over a cheap resource
That’s “there” and not “here”
Plus teaches teenagers to
Operate the death toys
That kill and mame
With democracy to blame
Giving people the delusion
They are free to protest
People selling shoes
For millions while
Paying people
Pennies to produce
Need not apply
No exceptions
Perhaps that’s
A good thing
Or perhaps not
For one thing it
Makes one realize
How arbitrary
Any rule is
That either
One person
Made it up
Usually moms
Or it was developed
By a committee
A funny thing
About rules are
When written down
Carry about as much
Weight as not being
Transcribed anywhere
Since depending on
The issuer and
The issued each
Determining the
Outcome as if
Rules didn’t exist
In the first place
.
Where this should have stopped
.
For example
Take that Moses fellow
Who killed an Egyptian
Then carved on a rock
Thou shalt not kill
See
Rules need not apply
Or right up to today
When it is allegedly
Illegal to kill people
Lest of course
You are the entity
That makes the rules
Where
Rules need not apply
Whether you need
A resource under
The ground under
Someone else’s feet
Really far away or
Right here at home
Or you simply wish
To control the citizenry
By having the rulers
Give special passes
Doled out as badges
With a wink wink
And a nod
That those
Illegal to kill people
Rules need not apply
.

Vote for Biden
A slogan hasn’t gots to make sense
.
A vote for Biden is a vote for
Old timers
All zoomers
Y’all’s hammers
A baby is a baby
Born or unborn
.
The billboard I’d like to see
.
A baby is a baby
Born or unborn
Unless it grows up
To wear a uniform
(Going to need a bigger billboard)
As society’s
Alleged protector
Cast as an image
With a projector
Using words to
Describe honor
A mind trick
To kill one another
Out of the womb
Death is okay
For with your
Taxes you’ll pay
For that, most
Will turn a blind eye
When all should shed
A dichotomous cry
After writing this
The coincidence of
Traveling the same route
On a different day
The next billboard
That caught my eye
Was the military
Recruitment one
Which surfaced
George Carlin’s bit
“Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers.”
– George Carlin
Then I dug this up from;
An oldie, but a goody from
“A place for my stuff”
.
“Hey, why doncha join the service? Join the fuckin’ service! Join up and die!
How do you expect to keep the country free if you won’t die? I’m dead. I died in World War II!
I’m fuckin’ dead! Can you say that? Come on. Join up and die!”
– George Carlin
.
Wouldn’t you think, at this point in our alleged evolution, we could figure out how to accomplish everything we need to without violence and bloodshed.
Just asking for a planet, full of bi-pedal oxygen breathing, monoxide exhaling, red-blooded, skeleton supported, solar powered, carbon-based, large brained, earth inhabitant omnivore artists.
Who, when viewed from a distance filtered through the ozone layer all look the same.
Creating various shelters, all seeking ways to obtain food and water. Dining and drinking, pooping and peeing, smiling and laughing, working and resting, sleeping and snoring, all to wake up the next day and do it again.

Today
Actually this moment
Yesterday is a figment
Of your imagination
Tomorrow is a
Projection of
Your perceptions
Now is the only
Moment that
Actually exists
“A moment is coming. Almost here. Its getting closer… any moment now, almost here aaaaaaand now its gone.”
– George Carlin
Belief must be the glue
That holds an individual
To its caged cranial confines
Questioning those would
Cause them to come unglued
As seen in desperate attempts
By vocalizing or printing them
On screens or near water coolers
In an uncompelled need to
Convince others of their beliefs
Not so much that they exist
Rather that the beliefs are valid
Typically more important
Than other’s benign beliefs
Lately over political ideologies
Which “lives” matter theories
Whether or not masks work
All of which are somewhat
Tangible concepts for discussion
That can be put to the test
Via perceived proof and practice
Dissection and determination
Of observations and outcomes
It is the belief in various
Invisible APAKALOBs
(All Powerful All Knowing
All Loving Omniscient Being)
That seem the most
Present and implausible
Proof of any or many is impossible
To prove those beliefs remain
In the imagination of the individual
How incrementally indoctrinated
They have been since birth
Or discovering the internet
Hoping to find superficial
Surfaces they can adhere to
Looking at the world through a windshield.
