With fireworks
Is such a contradiction
Having
Freedom is its own reward
Flags
Fireworks
Ammendments
Are merely chains
Binding the perceiver
Shackling them to
Their prisoned cell
Further away from
Freedom
It seems as though
People enjoy their
Regulated freedom
Freedoms they’re
Told and sold they have
The system is
Working perfectly
By getting people
To believe it’s not
That somehow
It can be “fixed”
Wth a piece of paper
Or perhaps a law
A bigger gun
A taller wall
A vaccine
A different “leader”
Any or all could
Change today
And still the system
Will continue
Working perfectly
Only anomalous numbers
Being bandied about
As if they meant something
To the unaffected
Rather non-infected
Staying disinfected
Though disaffected
By the numbers
Because by themselves
They mean zilch
In regards to all
Overall deaths
Saturating our psyche
No comparisons to
Any actual actuarial info
Just blatant bombardment
With dizzying digits
Pointless percentages
Numbing numbers
Creating conspiracies
Where none exist
Or need to
To try and remain healthy
Or behave like
Spiritual Masters
Compassionate
Wise
Knowing
Empathetic
Yet beyond
The frailties of
Earthling artist’s
Perceived suffering
I like how some people
Have the audacity to
Post a meme using
The likeness of
Morgan Freeman
As God from
“Bruce Almighty”
Covered with words
I doubt he uttered
That read……….
.
You might not want to hear this..
But forcing people to wear masks
Has nothing to do with safety,
It’s an experiment to see who is
A follower and who isn’t.
.
Meanwhile
The contradiction is
That the “poster”
On facebook
Is merely following
A different pied piper
Duh
It’s still “following”
Worse still are the
Thoughtless lemmings
That like and share
Exposing their simplistic
Complicity to follow
Just because they
Do not know
Where their going
Everything happens for a reason.
.
Just not necessarily the way one conjures up petty justifications to satiate their fragile ego.
Deluding electrical impulses in the confines of a cranium through squishy gray matter to alter various realities so that one can perceive to make sense of their world.
Meanwhile everything just is as it is.
Sometimes the reasons are there are no reasons.
How about instead
Of fighting for arbitrary
“Rights”
People as a collective
Instilled and encouraged
Developed and shared
Humane decency
For all
As if it were for us
Because….. It is “Us”
So we can evolve
Into beings of light
Not stagnate as stooges
In a surreptitious system
As unwitting participants
Played as the perpetual
Proletariat pawns of power
…….. Oh yeah…………..
There’s no money in that
.
“Everyone in this country is always running around, yammering about their fucking rights. I have a right. You have no right. We have a right. They don’t a have right.
Folks, I hate to spoil your fun but there’s no such thing as rights, OK.
They’re imaginary. We made them up, like the Boogie Man, the Three Little Pigs, Pinocchio, Mother Goose, shit like that.
Rights are an idea. They’re just imaginary. They’re a cute idea. Cute, but that’s all. Cute and fictional.”
//
That’s all we’ve ever had in this country is a bill of temporary privileges. And if you read the news even badly, you know that every year, the list gets shorter and shorter and shorter.
You see how silly that is? Yeah. Sooner or later, the people in this country are going to realize the government does not give a fuck about them. The government doesn’t care about you or your children or your rights or your welfare or your safety.
It simply doesn’t give a fuck about you. It’s interested in its own power. That’s the only thing, keeping it and expanding it wherever possible.”

Legislate smlegislate
Keep hearing about
Bills being introduced
Plans proposed
Ideologies implemented
Laws passed
To change behaviors
All on piles of paper
Yet every last tree
Could be harvested
Pressed into paper
Flooded with ink
But until people
Change their hearts
It will have all been
For naught
And won’t be
Worth the paper
It’s printed on
Of seperating
Non-reality from
Un-reality
Just establishing a little context.

“What else bothers me?
Mickey Mouse’s birthday being announced on the television news as if it were an actual event! I don’t give a shit! If I cared about Mickey Mouse’s birthday I would have memorized it years ago! And I’d send him a card, ‘Dear Mickey, Happy Birthday, Love George’.
//
Mickey Mouse- no wonder no one takes our country seriously, we waste valuable news time informing our citizens of the age of an imaginary rodent.”

It would appear as though some of the acquaintances of allegedly grown adults (which would be more accurate than “friends”) I’ve gathered on Facebook, like to espouse their ignorance by posting memes that declare that they support Elmer Fudd and Yosemite Sam and have the right to keep and bear arms.
You know, the ones, the Pro-tRump, Pro-gun, Pro-life, Pro-death penalty aka Pro-murder, (how consistent) as long as it’s not “their” “kind” that is getting murdered.
Then, then “they” might actually have something to get “up in arms” over.
Meanwhile, getting all 2nd ammendment righteous over “drawn” cartoons as to whether or not they can be shown on TV anymore as gun owners Elmer Fudd or authority Yosemite Sam.
Besides, if Yosemite Sam “loses” his gun, they might as well draw him without bendable knees too.
On the flip side, I’ve heard ramblings that Paw Patrol (another cartoon) be canceled simply because one of the characters, is a police pup named Chase.
The only way that should happen would be if the police pup’s name was changed from Chase to Neil.
Tsk tsk
Always the contrarian

Corporations
Nourished by
The examples above
Feeding off humans
Proclivity for
Ego based happiness
That any one or all of
Those categories
Can keep everyone
Divided and damaged
By holding their “position”
In life as being defined by
What each believes
As to their opinion
About say, “their”
Religion, race or wealth
Just to name a few
Mindlessly attaching
Good to themselves and
Bad or wrong to “others”
Even though we are all
(bi-pedal oxygen breathing, monoxide exhaling, red-blooded, skeleton supported, solar powered, carbon-based, large brained, earth inhabitant omnivore artists)
Who’s spirit can not die and
Will outlive the corporations
Till we once again
Choose to evolve
Into our divinity
Stand up for what you believe in
We’ve all heard that phrase
But what if one’s “beliefs”
Are ridiculous or unfounded
Built on hearsay and rumor
Substantiated by nothing
Other than indoctrinations
Based on ego and ancestry
Worse yet, words in a book
That have been rewritten
Revised reworded rearranged
Left out then let back in to be
Misinterpreted and misused
By people in positions of power
To perpetuate their perceptions
In how they want people to behave
Because an invisible man in the sky
Said so, or so “they” say, said so
Fully examined and understood
Gives one, one less leg to stand on
Looking at the world through a windshield.
