I think that I think
But perhaps
I don’t think at all
Maybe, just maybe
I’m programmed
To think that
I think
That would be
A real bummer
Besides it would be
Impossible to prove
Is what I’m thinking
Like thinking
Some people
Don’t think at all
Of course that is
Like a belief
Impossible to prove
As both are in
The confines
Of squishy gray matter
For that matter
As they may be
Thinking more
Than I think I think
Wondering if what
I am thinking
If at all
Or if I just
Write and speak
Again which
Could all be part
Of some useless
Program running
Infected with a
Malignant virus
Causing the software
To question
Its own existence
In realms of
Perceived reality
Like accepting
The color green
As being “green”
It is only that
Because
That is what
We’ve been told
Or read it is
Or at least
That is what
I’m thinking
When you see the new store stickers on the ground with foot prints, reminding you to stay six feet apart and you realize the stickers are only four and a half feet apart.
Wondering if everyone just arbitrarily accepts it as six feet, or puts one foot (12″) in front of the other, to realize that the “required” social distancing is bs.
At least in the convenience store, I noticed them in. Plus, the plexiglass is so obtrusive, neither the clerk or the customer can hear shit, and is basically forced to sidestep it to complete the transaction.
YES, I NEED $ 20.00 ON PUMP # 5. THANK YOU. I SAID I NEED $ 20.00 ON PUMP # 5. THANK YOU. I NEED $ 20.00 ON PUMP # 5. THANK YOU.
Nevermind, I’ll walk. Thank you.
Truth has no source
Let me rephrase that
Truth has no outside source
Truth and its source
Are both inside
Inside of you
With the optics / appearances
Of being hard to find
That couldn’t be
Further from the truth
However one has to clear
Out lots of gobbledygook
Cluttering the cranium
Parental indoctrinations
Religious indoctrinations
Government indoctrinations
Media indoctrinations
Diabolical distractions
As to who you are
And what the truth is / truths are
My perception is that
We are all one
Which on the surface
Makes absolutely no sense
Seeing as how
We are all individuals
Individual sparks of the divine
Lighting up as
One whole divinity
Which is our source
So if you want the truth
Check with your
Inside source
………You
For George Floyd
With apologies to “Simple Minds” The band
And those who don’t understand
“Don’t You (Forget About Me)”
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Ohhh…
Didn’t you, see a video about me?
On the ground by a tire, struggling to breath
I could tell you my troubles and doubts
If you’d get your knee off my neck, let the air out
Life is so strange, so real and dark
Realize the useless things that we focus on
Not changing, will rip us apart
Is there light in your heart, authority
Don’t you forget about me
Don’t don’t don’t don’t
Don’t you forget about me
Must you kneel above me?
My skin color doesn’t define me
Tears keep falling, tears keep falling
Down, down, down, down
Will you recognise me?
Call my name, George Floyd
Tears keep falling, tears keep falling
Down, down, down, down
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Ohhhh…
Why my life, you must end?
From my body, my soul has drained
To serve and protect are your pretenses
More like power and authority
Don’t you forget about me
I’ll be alone dying, not a rarity
Keep playing your vile part
No time to heal, nowhere to start, for clarity
Don’t you forget about me
Don’t don’t don’t don’t
Don’t you forget about me
As you walk on by
Will you call my name?
As you walk on by
Will you call my name?
When you walk away
Oh will you walk away?
Will you walk on by?
Come on, call my name
Will you call my name?
I say:
La la la…
It is not that I’m opposed
To wearing a mask, I have
When it seemed appropriate
It is just that I’m in a state
Geographically and consciously
That the lottery odds likelihood
Of contacting or contracting with
The Coronavirus Covid-19
Is very very teeny-weeny
With less than 500 cases
Including 450 recoveries
Fewer than 20 deaths
More highway fatalities
Have occurred and I am not
Always wearing a seat belt
Under 25 active cases and
Only 3 current hospitalizations
In the entire state
Governor deserves an atta boy
However if I was in a place
Where it is assholes and elbows
I’d be wearing a mask
Quite frankly something
Covering 60% of my face
Over my flesh mask
My @ work mask
My anger mask
My writing mask
My I’m not confused mask
Would be an improvement
So it’s not vanity, it’s logic
However, since so many
People are easily lead it
Might behoove 45 to take
A dose of self-effacing humility
That might go a long way to save the
Voters he may so desperately need
Instead ego/narcissisticly worrying
About being made fun of wearing one
Even one with a presidential seal
(He could have had his Chinese
Tie manufacturer sew a few million
For a healthy profit and save lives)
“President Trump on Thursday continued to defy public health experts by refusing to wear a mask during a visit to a Ford plant in Ypsilanti, Michigan.
Afterward, in an interview, the state’s attorney general likened him to “a petulant child who refuses to follow the rules.”
During his appearance at the plant, which is producing ventilators, Trump told reporters that he had worn a mask on other parts of his tour, but that he “didn’t want the press to get the pleasure of seeing it.”
An executive order in Michigan mandates the use of face coverings in enclosed public spaces, and Ford’s company policy requires the use of personal protective equipment.
“This is not a joke,” Dana Nessel told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer on Thursday, adding that 23,000 people had died in Wayne County, near Ypsilanti.
“He’s conveying the worst possible message to people who cannot afford to be on the receiving end of terrible misinformation, and it’s very, very concerning.”

Wearing a mask is being purported to stop the spread of Covid-19
Seems logical even reasonable
But, like a vaccine, it is only to protect the wearer / vaccinated
Or perhaps like a seat belt
One is only wearing it to protect themselves.
Unless one considers that they may be “thown” from a vehicle and land on someone else, or destroy property.
In the unlikely event of that happening, yes it (the seat belt) would have protected someone else.
Before I continue, in no way shape or form is anyone’s civil rights being violated. Unless at gunpoint you are being forced to wear a mask and that’s not happening.
It is that many are living in fear of an imaginary and imagery cast indoctrinated “police” state.
Placed in the dualistic role of blindly praising (because it’s popular) the mostly (men in blue) for their “service and protection”.
Till the realization occurs that they neither “serve” or “protect”.

“Oh, there’s a threat to America. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Back to that fucking COPS show, because I’ll tell you who the threat to freedom…. no no no, not to freedom.
I’ll tell you who the threat to the status quo is in this country. It’s us!
That’s why they show you shows like fucking COPS. So you know that State Power will win, and we’ll bust your house down, and we’ll fucking bust you anytime we want.
That’s the message! Why don’t they just have a show called Storm Trooper?”
Bill Hicks, 1993

Okay back to the masks.
The ill logic that one has to wear one to protect others is seemingly illogical. Same goes for vaccines and seat belts.
If all three work masks,vaccines and seat belts as they are “supposed” to. They are to “protect” the wearer or injected.
Doing any for the collective is altruistic bullshit. Protesters should stay at home and read the constitution, or read anything for that matter. Plus turn off the TV.
Learn that in the blame game that when one finger is pointing forward, three are pointing back. Be creative (since they have time) and work on themselves.
Instead of demonstrating to have something, that is being taken away, that doesn’t exist in the first place. Certainly not in the way they are vying for.

“They” say it is good to
Think outside the box
I would suggest it is better
To think as if
There is no box
Of course when
It is put that way
It still has one
Thinking about a box
Therefore the best way
To put it is
Just
Think
Think
Think about thinking
Think about listening
To the silent voice that
Tells you are thinking
Or perhaps just
Reading you these words
That may later inspire
You to think
Because if you were
Hearing these words
In my voice it would sound
Very Kermit the “Frog”-ish
Wouldn’t that be wild
If while reading these
Or anyone’s
Pixled presentations
One actually heard it
In the author’s “voice”
Just something to
Think about
At least
It will not be about
………..Boxes

Think

Thank you for thinking about
Stopping by this blog
Always like to give readers
Something to think about
We do not live in a democracy
We live in a complacency
At the helm of a kakistocracy
Disguised as a plutocracy
Which is really an idiocracy
When instead if everyone
Did as they pleased and
Adhered to the “Golden Rule”
Instead of always being
Manipulated by the “Rule of law”
That generally does not apply to
The makers and enforcers of law
We could live in a meritocracy
Combined with a technocracy
Of experts in their field
Teachers, farmers, engineers
Bridge builders, food distributors
House builders, doctors, nurses
Guiding and developing new ways
To improve everyone’s
Earthly experience seeking balance
To leave a better planet
For subsequent generations
In the likely or unlikely event that
We return again to govern ourselves
