We’ve got to
Make something up
This Jesus Christ
He walks on water
Not literally mind you
Or in actuality
Rather his thoughts and words
Are so pure
He floats above the fray
That is the stream
Of human consciousness
Trusting in the universe
That all will be okay
.
Here’s how this came about
Saw the following as a meme on fb
Just don’t know how to put it here
So here it is transcribed
Seems a worthy resolution
.
“This year, I want to be more like Jesus
.
– Hang out with sinners
– Upset religious people
– Tell stories that make people think
– Choose unpopular friends
– Be kind, loving and merciful
– Take naps on boats
.
And it got me to thinking
With a vague peripheral awareness
Mostly understanding the first five
With no clue where to find
In a bible the reference for
Jesus taking a nap on a boat
Then remembered
I can access my Google’d brain
Found this in the NIV
Mathew 8, 23-26
23Then he got into the boat and his disciples followed him. 24Suddenly a furious storm came up on the lake, so that the waves swept over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping.
25The disciples went and woke him, saying, “Lord, save us! We’re going to drown!”
26He replied, “You of little faith, why are you so afraid?” Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm.
.
Since that whole book is open to infinite interpretation, (here’s mine.)
“Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm.”
Taken literally that sounds too magical. My guess, with JC being a teacher, merely used the situation of the winds and the waves, to teach.
That no matter what difficulties frighten or scare us, one’s that rock our boat (world) if we trust in the universe, everything will be alright.
There is a saying, alternately attributed to Buddha Siddhartha Guatama Shakyamuni and the Theosophists, that goes:
When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.
Likewise the reverse must be true
If the students are not ready, the teacher will disappear.
.
Which I suspect more to be the case
For the historians to write that the teacher was martyred instead of disappearing.
Much more convenient to shirk responsibility that way, than admit that no one was following the teacher’s guidance.
Like be kind and love your neighbor.
Which has lead us to WWJD
“What would Jesus do?” They don’t wanna know so they can do it – they just wanna know so they can tell other people to do it!

You were right from the beginning
As for a good storyline
Let’s start with he walks on water
Then work on it from both directions
See what we can conjure up to control people
.
If this offends anyone you must know
These thoughts entered my head
Then exited out my fingers
I apologize, I am merely the conduit
Wait, scratch that I take fool
Full responsibility, I pressed publish
(Going highbrow now)
Opinions are like farts
To the actual “owner”
They smell like roses
Therefore feel compelled
To share with everyone
When in reality most are like
The cat box emanations of
A nine cat household that
Hasn’t been cleaned for weeks
Good thing most times
You are just a “click” away
Or at least a “scroll” past from
The nauseating stench emanating
From various sized screens
Usually without foul air revenge
Which is typically where most exhibit
Their balloon bowel bravery or worse
Join in with their crevice chorus
The rest you encounter are the ones
Near the water cooler in the breakroom to
Where you’re “trapped” like in an elevator
And can not escape or hold your nose
That’s not even……….. an option
All you can do is extend exhaling with
Face scrunched until the doors open
Or can finish your break quick
When instead one should be
Wafting their hand inquiring
Not so much as what who ate, rather
What disinformation they consumed
At which restaurant of rhetoric
.
Well this already lasted longer than planned
So to sum up with all of the bad air
Realize all of the either non essential
Products or hyperbolized promotion
Sponsoring the talking heads nightly
Getting paid a boat load of money
People are essentially inviting these
Noxious gasses into their homes
Through one big screen and
Essentially passing down wind
More foulness through smaller screens
And paying for it themselves

Forgive me if it goes astray”)

If Bernie wins
The democratic nomination
45 will get reelected
Without help from either
Russia or Ukraine or
A guy on his couch
Or ghina if they’re listening
It will rest on the complacency
Condemnation turned courting
Then capitulation of corruption
By the reticent Republicans
Pleading for petulant power
.
The drumbeat build up has begun
For the next two minutes hate chant
Screaming the “evils” of socialism
Instead of for the walls of seperation
Besides
Trading Republican socialism
For Democratic socialism
Is still socialism except that
Republican socialism aka
The military industrial complex
Corporate welfare and
Privatized prison farms
So ingrained in the culture
Will also remain funded
Turning a debtor nation
Financially and morally
Into a bankrupt one
Not to mention
The women who would vote for 45
Must be so self loathing to their sisterhood
As to sacrifice their collective body
To the malignant mandate of men
Just a few more unbalanced
“Supreme” court nominees to go
In my perception any self respecting bipedal earthling artist wth a vagina and functioning reproductive organs might as well buy a one way ticket to Canada now to escape the upcoming Gilead.
.
That or find a really nice stable kept warm by the burning of the constitution and the fading embers of Roe v. Wade to be legislated into brood mares for the state.
It doesn’t matter if any one votes
Remember:
“If voting made any difference they wouldn’t let us do it.”
― Mark Twain
.
Therefore the outcome is predicated
On the collective constitution of the
Combined individual’s heart & being
Obviously it is what got us here now
All the paper ballots with hanging chads
Secure hackproof voting machines
To allow “free and fair elections”
Add up to zip zilch nada nothing if
Everyone is experiencing fear of
Their fellow space travelers as directed
Sacrificing their own powers to
A projection of an individual
Whom they think will “lead” them
“Democracy is the worst kind, I am sorry, but it is. We get to pick our leaders..well…
What if I don’t want a leader? Where does that vote go? I do good on my own, I don’t want to be “led”. Is that freedom?”
– Doug Stanhope
To lead such a diverse nation
Certainly not the likes of me
I spend my time leading myself
With no followers to guide
As a contrarian individualist
Who pooh-poohs the rules by
Conforming to the axiom
If you don’t do anything wrong
You can not get caught
Inciting peaceful anarchy
A silent revolutionary rebel
Dropping hints of meritocracy
Subtly without subterfuge
Hoping it will catch on as
A means to go forward
Taking experts in various fields
Of different religions races genders
Perhaps fifteen to twenty one
Willing to work together to evolve
All space travelers on the earth ship
So that no “one” advances one agenda
Progressively dismantle the
State run flawed rule of law
Replace w/ compassionate guidance
Starting off with making sure
Everyone on the ship is fed
Has clean livable quarters and
Free to move around the sphere
As it is everybody’s mobile home
Hurling through the cosmos
Realizing there is no separation
From the bloated belly baby
Starving to death of no nutrition
Nor clean water or decent shelter
While some capitalist dines on a
Gold flaked steak and blood red wine
In an ivory tower guarded 24/7
As all become aware no one is qualified
Finally shake the status quo
That never drains the swamp just
Changes the names of the creatures
Followed by an (r) or a (d)

For the longest time
I believed
A person
Any person
All persons
Could only hold
One thought at a time
Why did I believe this
Because years ago
I heard someone
Mention it on the radio
There’s credibility for you
Someone nameless and faceless
Uttering his perception
Or strengthening an agenda
To limit expanding consciousness
For what occurred
To change this perception
Is realizing that you can
Love adore and cherish
Your children and grandchildren
Biological or non-biological
Whilst simultaneously
Holding the thought
That there are
Too many people
On this planet
.
“Have you pictured what this planet is going to be like in 40 to 50 years? It’s going to be a big smoking ball of shit, a big, smoking, flaming, stinking ball of gaseous shit.”
– George Carlin
Because they are
Glued together with
Delusional thinking
Bound by what works
In successive moments
In linear perception of
Time and circumstance
Quickly disassembling
After purposes served
.
“Folks, it’s time to evolve. That’s why we’re troubled. You know why our institutions are failing us, the church, the state, everything’s failing?
.
It’s because, um – they’re no longer relevant.
.
We’re supposed to keep evolving. Evolution did not end with us growing opposable thumbs. You do know that, right?
There’s another 90 percent of our brains that we have to illuminate.”
– Bill Hicks
.
Fully knowing that now
Where do we go from here
Must let go of the sand
Passing through the
Hourglass of eternity
Our hands are dirty
Clinging to what worked
Trying to repeat again
For neither rhyme or reason
Save illusions of security
.
“There must be some kind of way
out of here, said the joker to the thief.
There’s too much confusion,

Logic is a gift from God
Much more so than a
Filialcidal sacrifice
Which defies and denies
The gift of love and logic
.
Still people get attached
To the disturbing notion of
John 3:16 King James Version
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
.
Why, cause it is in a book
Rather many books
With slight variations
Exponentiating interpretations
Closely examined is manipulations
The fear of death is natural
To have everlasting life
Is merely a carrot on a stick
Getting many to believe is a trick
At its simplest defies logic
Denying God’s gift is tragic
.

Perhaps, but…

There’s time to live and time to die
When it’s time to meet the maker
There’s time to live but isn’t it strange
That as soon as you’re born you’re dying…
.
…and reborn again??

“The Clairvoyant”
Works on the principles of coincidence
Observed as a synchronicity of events
Satiating a need to believe
In a benevolent being
Justifying coordinating words
In elusive requests
Or generating gratitude
Of said events of synchronicity
Perceived in a way
That aggrandize the ego
That in this infinite universe
An invisible male dominator god
Perched on a golden throne
Above the clouds
Is paying special attention
To any one individual
.
“Pretty neat deal, huh? You know how we got it? We made the whole fucking thing up!”

Of Tucker Carlson for
Revealing that Bloomberg
Is 17 X as rich as 45
Just out of the blue
Like a political
Freudian slip
Granted it was in
The context of
A news story
But still
The unwritten policy
Of all the friends at faux
Is that the lips are to be
Firmly planted
On the unclothed
Emperor’s arse
Good luck Tuck
It went by quick
Maybe 45 was
Tweeting his latest
Treasonous tweet
“You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious.”
