A splattershot extended rant
However, egotistically a good one
(Depending on taste and discernment)
.
For months perhaps years
Everyone has heard the
Team Trump automatons
Scream, rant, cry, fb post, including
Mashed up meme’s of malignant
Misinformation musings, blog or
Dispense high minded opinions
Around the water cooler at work
The evil “evil’s” of socialism
Mostly Bernie Sanders socialism
Plus throwing AOC under the bus
How it is wrong, so very wrong
That the government provide
Any kind of assistance
To anyone or anything
For any reason whatsoever
(I guess if peace broke out, we’d have to
Subsidize the military industrial complex)
Now singing the praises
Of Trump socialism
Doling out checks to Americans
Like a pedophile giving candy
To an unsuspecting victim
Luring the masses
Under false pretenses
That these infected circumstances
Make it okay, as long as
Golden petulant boy 45 does it
.
Remember:
.
“I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose voters,”
– 45
.
So glad, I never drank the Kool-Aid
In exchange for Morpheus’s red pill
Strange to hear how wonderful
The “Donald” is for bribing the public
With pennies from –heaven– hell
When ten minutes or so ago
He regurgitated that “America
Will never be a socialist country”
Ooopsie ?!?!
Let me scratch that with my marker
Where are the bootstrapper
Picker uppers now, huh?
“We don’t have people like that in this country; everybody’s at the mall, scratching his ass, picking his nose, taking his credit card out of his fanny pack and buying a pair of sneakers with lights in them!”
– George Carlin
(Planning on using “their” money
Literally “their” money on more
“Armageddon” shopping purchases
Poop paper and pistol projectiles)
Who knew government dependency
Would ride in on a bat soup fed
Trojan horse with a beer branded bug?
.
First, 43 bailed out the airline industry
Next, 44 bailed out the auto industry
Now 45 is planning on doing both
Guess he doesn’t want to be outdone
Too “big to fail”, my happy ass.
I say F’m, they each had their chance
Flying or driving is neither a right
Nor a privilege foisted on the public
As something they “have” to have
You always hear small businesses
Are the backbone of the economy
Well apparently this is a big FU
To that breaking spinal column
I’m no economist however there is
No way in any rudimentary math
That in most vehicles over $ 50k
With labor material distribution
And a reasonable margin of profit
Can possibly be more than $ 30k
Automatically assembled by robots
Just guessing as I have no clue
As for the airline industry
Flying used to be fun, at least interesting
Now it is just a cattle call round up
Cramming as many bodies into an
Aluminum tube with wings and tires
As inefficiently as possible
Front to back, checking people’s
Politeness and patience
Excuse me, pardon me, ouch, sorry
A ruse in distraction and delay
While luggage is loaded
Which has found a clever way to
Have its own fare paid ticket too
Tapping into additional funds
For being “overweight”, none of
Which affect the safety of the plane
In a world moving so fast that you
Can have stuff delivered yesterday
Maybe slowing down for a train ride
Would soothe the shambled soul
Again, let those industries fail
If necessity is the mother of invention
Clever earthlings, albeit greedy ones
Will come up with alternatives
No one bailed out the
Horse and buggy industry, did they.
No, and aren’t we thankful for that
As for the “anti” socialism crowd
I thought that was to be just a few
Nope, they are going full steam ahead
Into full victim mode as they accept
Their leader has been affected and
Alleged billionaire needs assistance too
‘I’m hurting too’: Donald Trump complains coronavirus is damaging his family business and won’t rule out seeking taxpayers’ cash for his company after Mar-a-Lago closed and his golf courses shuttered

So why not themselves.
Strange.
Holy WTF?
Genuine Bonafide Hypocrites
We are in a bed
Of our own making
Now, we are laying in it
Or is that, lying in it?
Either way it is time
To remove the frame
Box spring, mattress
Head board, comfy sheets
Soft pillows, cozy comforter
Wake up and learn
To stand on our head
Because while we
Were asleep
The whole world
Turned upside down
No, not the :
“If the glove don’t fit
You must acquit” BS
.
Rather the latex ones
Where one size
Fits all (sort of)
The latest fashion
In “distancing” from
A beer branded bug
Trending with clerks
Handling filthy money
(Not as in “evil”
Rather, literally filthy)
Or picking up the soda
To “scan” the barcode
Grabbing loose change
From a register
Teeming with bacteria
Like a petri dish of
Commingling cultures
From so many
Ungloved hands
That touched the
Gas pump nozzles
After the key pads
Squeegee handle
Door handle
Cooler handle
Cash or plastic
Key pad for pin #’s
Or plastic pen
I could go on but
You get the picture
Have those gloves
Protected anything
Save one’s
Sanity
Of an illusionary
Barrier
That will save a life
One can only
Hope
Which is as effective
As thoughts and prayers
No one else contracts
The “Virus”
You can’t kill me
Only I can kill me
And even I
Can’t kill me
I am endless
Beginnings
Beginning
Again
And again
Until the
Endless end
Life is already
Everlasting
Birth and death
Are merely
Phases
Makes one
Wonder
Why we have
Clocks or a
Calendar
If the only thing you buy
At the store
Is toilet paper
Unless you are going
To eat it
For the fibre
Relax
You won’t need it
“I’m tired of this back-slapping
“Isn’t humanity neat?” bullshit.
We’re a virus with shoes, okay?
That’s all we are.”
.
– Bill Hicks
.
At a time when we should
Be shining like diamonds
Many are crumbling to
Dust like chunks of coal
Under invisible pressure
Of faux survivorship
Hoarding for hoarding’s sake
Give it to me, it’s mine
Though it was on the shelf
For anyone to purchase
Leaving on a lonely ride
Driving up to “Devil’s Tower”
Hearing of, yet never seeing
Actual dead livestock
Or tell tale caged canaries
It is only the conspiracy
Theories that take flight
When all you have to do
Is follow the smelly money
And realize the tp mfgs
Were buried under overstock
A ruse to empty warehouses
At the expense of incivility and
Contempt for fellow citizens
“What, me worry?”
– Alfred E. Newman
.
Is it just me, or am I the only one who wants to fly to China to eat bats?

“The more bad news there is, the faster this system collapses.”
– George Carlin
GOOD
.
It is a shitty system anyway
Built on mystical maniacs
Greed power and corruption
Deceit distraction and consumption
Predatory lending and unjust wars
Starvation in a world of plenty
Borders where no borders exist
Plighted to pick political parties
Categorized by surface skin when
Underneath everyone bleeds red
Deciphering and decoding truth
By those paid not to administer it
But it is what we’ve grown to know
So we were / are comfortable with it
Like a hole in the wall by a door knob
That if it is not fixed immediately
Soon you won’t even notice it is there
As long as we could make some
Sense of it assuming our place
Amongst the chaos and disorder
We have somehow made it work
Up until now. Thank you Covid-19
However like collective kidnapees with
Stockholm syndrome abducted by
Religion governments and banks
That have kidnapped humans from
Their divine nature and true selves
Forcing them to be pawns in a game
Of consume, destroy, hate and kill
Once released from voluntary captivity
Will need time to adjust to normalcy
You know, looking out for one another
Might not include shaking hands
Still you can lift someone up
Without touching them using a
Metaphorical hand to give a boost
Seeing as how your enemy is yourself
The ways of yesterday no longer apply
The allegedly elected leadership ruse
Has run its course failing every time
Natural leaders prove their salt w/o
The “need” to win popularity contests
The logic of meritocracy prevails
The best perceived analogy is that
A ship captain is not selected
From the passengers or crew
That can song and dance the best
(Which is what we have now)
Rather from all the planetary participants
Most qualified to navigate
Smooth and rough waters
With years of experience and
Skilled powers of necessary
Communication and delegation
To likewise be the best in their
Subsequent and desired positions
The best doing what they’d rather be doing
The best in
Charge of the engine room
The kitchen making sure ALL are fed
The sick bay making sure ALL passengers
Are well regardless the cabin or ticket price
All we have to do is sit back relax
Do what we’d rather be doing
Then watch the cream rise to the top
In each field in every endeavor
Seems to be the biggest plan
.
Planning : the act or process of making or carrying out plans
Plan: a method for achieving an end
– m-w.com
.
I have a plan
You have a plan
Steve has a plan
Robin has a plan
Even God has a plan
Though is not planning
On sharing that specific plan
More fun to mix it up
In a Rubik’s cube with
Altered or missing stickers
Politicians know plans change
So they plan not to plan
Save a few of the bigger ones
They have big big plans
Those big plans
Are based on theory
Their theory of big plans
Tethered to cryptic flow charts
If stimulus package plan A = B
Then outcome C
Will render reelection
Minus no plan for disaster
Go back to start
Try another plan
Discovering their only plan
Is to convey a different plan
That was just planned
So the public doesn’t know
No plan was planned
Wouldn’t it be better if
We had a do
No theory just do
If it doesn’t work
Do something else
At least something
Will get done
Starting with a single do
As all the above plans
Leave us with nothing but
Doo-doo
Which is not a very good plan
Deciphering images and sounds
Delivered from the same telescreen
How can we possibly know reality
Of the world around us or in us
Through devices that deliver
Fantasy drama laughter information
“Free” games ads medical advice
Escape sports war violence and fear
While its not so covert intention is to
Keep you consuming its buy products
.
“The people will not revolt. They will not look up from their screens long enough to notice what is happening.”

I’m so scared i need anxiety meds
I’m so sad i need depression meds
I’m so thirsty i need a corporate soda
I can’t smile i need a new toothbrush
I’m so focused I need a distraction
I’m so unsocial i need a beer
I’m hungry I need some quick MSG’s
I’m overweight i need diet pills
Or an exercise bike and treadmill
Those didn’t work I need a lawyer
I hate myself i need a wall and
Opinions i never would think of
I can’t sleep I need a new bed or
Outrageously expensive bed sheets
I’m so alone I need fake “friends”
Who will like and comment on
My dog, cat, kid and vacation pics
Or thumb up my political stupidity
That is sponsored by shit I googled
On a whim just two days ago
Someone might be at my front door
I need a door camera…..oh wait
It’s the stuff I ordered yesterday

“They don’t want the voice of reason spoken, folks, ‘cause otherwise we’d be free.
Otherwise, we wouldn’t believe their fucking horseshit lies, nor the fucking propaganda machine of the mainstream media and buy their horseshit products that we don’t fucking need and become a third world consumer fucking plantation which is what we’re becoming.”
– Bill Hicks
If it was called by its technical name, nobody would give it a second thought.
Covid-19
But since it has that marketing feature of a name being widely known, but not commonly used.
Its fear was attached then spread.
Corona + Virus = a frightened populace
“Where did this sudden fear of germs come from in this country?
Have you noticed this?
The media, constantly running stories about all the latest infections – salmonella, e-coli, hanta virus, bird flu – and Americans, they panic easily so now everybody’s running around, scrubbing this and spraying that and overcooking their food and repeatedly washing their hands, trying to avoid all contact with germs.”
//
So listen! If you kill all the germs around you, and live a completely sterile life, then when germs do come along, you’re not gonna be prepared. And never mind ordinary germs, what are you gonna do when some super virus comes along that turns your vital organs into liquid shit? I’ll tell you what you’re gonna do… you’re gonna get sick, you’re gonna die, and you’re gonna deserve it cause you’re fucking weak and you got a fucking weak immune system!”
– George Carlin
