As “free” speech
Words are way
To valuable to
Be lumped in with
Anything considered
To be “free”
There are no thoughts
Not attached to words
If you think you have
A wordless thought
Think again, because
There is no such thing
If so, try and describe
A wordless thought
Free speech is an illusion
That can make many or
Even an “individual one”
Irresponsible with words
By intending them to be
Deceptive or malignant
Distracting and devious
Instead, words
Could be clear and accurate
Positive and life-affirming
Words can cost you
Your attitude and outlook
Used ignorantly or negatively
Fear or hate filled, even violent
Depending on context and intent
Words are much more valuable
Filled with hope, love, and peace
Free:
1 not costing or charging anything
– m-w.com
Words are not free
Although perhaps individually they are
It is when words are put in context
Their value and importance change
Also, it depends on who says what
When Shakespeare, Goodhal, and Einstein
Get “quoted” it has much more impact
Based on their underlying contributions
To society as a whole, then anything
Clever and creative, I might manifest
Protecting “free” speech is irresponsible
What needs to be preserved is honest,
Thoughtful, intelligent, compassionate,
Enlightened, heartfelt communication that
Elevates, inspires, engages evolutionary dialog
Emanating from a source of all words…. Word
Of infinite infinity
Is something I could
Think about all
Non-existant day long
While being “Naked on a bean bag
Eating Cheetos” – Ron White
Wondering why beliefs
Transferred into books
Give credence both to
An invisible dude or an
Untraceable beginning
When neither have any validity
Save for words put together
In such a way, creating a
Cute story or vague theory
That their only credibility is
Because it is in print or
Digitally pixilated on a screen
Beyond that, all bets are off
One ought to have faith in faith
Or rather their faith in a belief
Because as words go, that is
Where their invisible power lies
If believing can save Tinkerbell
Imagine what it does for you
Not in the projection of an
Omniscient being rolling dice
Helping survivors of a crash, but,
Not preventing it in the first place
Administering life challenges
Like some egotistical narcissist
Who thrives off of the attention
For the trouble caused initially
“It’s God’s will” – George Carlin
Then, praised for being the cure
“It’s God’s will” – George Carlin
If one has the power for the latter
Certainly, it was there for the former
No wonder some people think
The universe sprang from nothing
Both religion and science cling to
Similar versions and tout either
As a pseudo explanation, that
Does not need any clarification
Other than existence just exists
Is that not miraculous enough
.
Methinks so
What lesson can the
Untortured soul teach
Certainly not how to survive
Only optimism to stay alive
But what good would that do
If the tortured soul is within you
When, what is needed
From the lesson is experience
Which can not be gained
Until experienced
Yet, by its very nature, it would seem
That the Oversoul * must already know
For not only that the experience has
Happened before, it will happen again
Results changing or perhaps not
Altering each new course by
Slight or exaggerated deviances
Led by either randomness
Or focused intent or both
Either way, the experience experienced
Good or bad, essentially
Makes no difference since actual
“Death” is never involved, at least not in
The cessation of having more experiences
“Is death another birthday?
A way to kiss your dreams goodbye?
Do the undead live within us
And look through our eyes?”
“Only The Good Die Young”
– Iron Maiden
I am infinitely fascinated with infinity
Guided by cosmos and questions
Knowing no one can answer them
Accurately, definitely, or absolutely
(Like knowing the speed of a particle
Or its location but never both as stated
In the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle)
Save by ego driven opinions that
Because some think they know
Or were taught to know, they do
With zero evidence, indoctrinated beliefs
Made-up up facts and contrived information
* Oversoul
• : the absolute reality and basis of all existences conceived as a spiritual being in which the ideal nature imperfectly manifested in human beings is perfectly realized
– m-w.com
I’m not sure if the following has any validity
However, it was fun to contemplate
Every scenario that plays out in your mind
Has a life or death in another dimension
Which may or may not prove Einstein’s theory that
Everything is happening all at once
So when you dive into this dimension
From the celestial green room
Having waited in the wings
To perform your performance
For an audience, or yourself as you
Finished practicing in the mirror
Recovering from or re-celebrating
Your last experience of incarnation
As a bi-pedal earthling artist
Which is when you realize
You are a sum greater than
All of your parts ……because
Everything perceptibly outside
Of you still flows through you
Constantly at the crossroads of a
Projected reality via contemplation
Of what if scenarios and decisions
Perceived outcomes and alternatives
Whilst in that thought experiment
Imagining if then this, then what
Comes next, benefit or detriment
Consider when you “snap back to reality” – Eminem
That any and all of those contemplations
Play out in dimensions you just created
Take on a “life” of their own with you with them
Radical opposites may be suicide or instant wealth
Or as simple as a decision of what to eat next,
Where to park your car, or learn something “new”
Until you physically make a move towards
Manifesting those postulations in the now
Each are occurring concurrently somewhere
Along adjacent strings of alternate realities
Which is just as unprovable as solipsism itself
On the dark and depressing decision of suicide
Plays out the what ifs, if it is really thought out
How does this affect me and others beyond the
Am I only seeking attention because of not giving
Myself the self attention required to grow and evolve
What methods to use might be quick or painless
Or send mixed messages to unintended recipients
Knowing it isn’t the solution as it would disrupt
Other people’s lives and their behaviors because
Infinity would suggest it is all occurring right now
Brooding over what may seem like a last resort
Could also inspire creative, helpful alternatives
The instant wealth scenario also has its what ifs
Flow charts of decisions and projected outcomes
Is it enough to pay off some bills, donate, and buy gifts
Or too much to go crazy with, then end up with less
Will the contemplation trigger inspirations to
Manifest what to do to work towards the results
Of what you may have dreamed about originally
Then, the speculations serve an unintended purpose
Either way, both require some sort of action to
Buy a ticket and wait or pick up a pen and plan
To do what it takes to realize your vision, you picture
After writing the above, I “found” this in a meme.
“According to multiverse theory in Quantum Physics.
Every time you have 2 options and you decide to choose to go with one of them, the universe splits into two parts, where you choose the other option in another universe.”
– Author Unknown
Or was it already always there?
“Freewill”
There are those who think that life has nothing left to chance
A host of holy horrors to direct our aimless dance
A planet of play things
We dance on the strings
Of powers we cannot perceive
‘The stars aren’t aligned
Or the gods are malign…’
Blame is better to give than receive
[Chorus:]
You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice
You can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can kill
I will choose a path that’s clear
I will choose freewill
There are those who think
That they were dealt a losing hand
The cards were stacked against them
They weren’t born in Lotusland
All preordained
A prisoner in chains
A victim of venomous fate
Kicked in the face
You can’t pray for a place
In heaven’s unearthly estate
[Chorus]
Each of us
A cell of awareness
Imperfect and incomplete
Genetic blends
With uncertain ends
On a fortune hunt that’s far too fleet
[Chorus]
– Rush
I quit searching for meaning
Because I found it in the……
Dictionary
Ta-da
“Meaning
1: the thing one intends to convey
Especially by language (purport)
2: something meant or intended (import)
3: significant quality (aim)
4a: the logical connotation of a word or phrase
4b: the logical denotation or extension of a word or phrase”
– m-w.com
Plus, it is an endless glorious circle
Each word and meaning lead towards
More words and different meanings
Content plus context equals more content
Answering the proverbial question
If you were stuck alone on an island
(Not sure how that will happen)
You get to get to read one book
What on earth would it be
Many people say the Bible
War and Peace or the Illyad
Something lengthy anyway
Not me….
I’d want a digital dictionary
So when someone somewhere
Is making new words
I could read them to
Make up my own stories
Or make the best of my situation
“In the beginning, God created………”
Is not going to help you survive
Which would be the first word to lookup
Survive : to remain alive or in existence
Live : to maintain oneself:
Subsist : to have or acquire the necessities of life
(such as food and clothing)
Acquire : to locate and hold
Food : something that nourishes
Put dictionary down, search for food
Shelter : something that covers or affords protection
Also // We made a shelter from branches
Hmmmm, find branches or maybe a cave
I think one would be hard pressed to suggest that the Bible would be more beneficial than a dictionary to extend your life. Besides, it is a book filled with God, Gods, and God’s words.
“In the beginning, the Word already existed.
The Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
John 1:1
I can already hear the doubt, wondering about the digital dictionary, which the battery would die before you could really survive.
Problem solved, would just need to plug it into a “current” bush.
We gravitate towards
Dangerous delusion
By accepting what
Medias feed us as
Truth and accuracy
That unveiled serve
An entirely dark agenda
Casting aspersions of
Other country’s leaders
As murderous dictators
Who shamelessly kill
Their “own” people
Along with whatever
Other country they attack
Usually instigated to
Inspire unilateral hate
Towards said leader
Why???? Because it works
So that Captain America
Can fly in and save the day
What everyone forgets is
That nearly every US president
Has been involved in the
Killing of human beings
Mostly for financial gain
Some personal, mostly for businesses
Abraham Lincoln convinced
Americans to kill Americans
Brothers against brothers
Friends against friends
Get this… for the sake of “unity”
While the industrialist profiteers
Pocketed richly off of the war
When alternative solutions were possible
Ooopsie
Very few seemed to mind
When Bush Jr. sent in his military
Under very false pretenses *
To kill Iraqis when the alleged
911 attackers were in Afghanistan
It’s kind of a convenient switcheroo
No one addresses the US president
As a murderer because the people
Think it is okay when we do it
Under the guise of democracy
Since it is for “our” side
Even though the collective
Underlyingly understood
It was for oil and control of oil
*
“The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder.”
– Vincent Bugliosi
Watch as little Donnie does nothing to stop
The Russian Ukraine war, save switching sides
So as to sell more WMD’S to a new customer
As the Orwellian narrative lies and deception
Convolute who is or was our ally and why
Quicker than you can say that Oceania
Has always been at war with Eurasia or
Was it Eastasia or vice-versa with Eurasia
I had better reread that novel before
My memory goes down the memory hole
The insurmountable hypocrisy is astonishing
Even though we participate freely w/o question
At our own collective peril
Need a leaping off point
To hook the audience
Books, radio, TV, movies
Plays, documentaries, etc,
Knowing there is not
Much difference between
A fairytale and a trucker’s tale
One begins with
Once upon a time
The other starts with
You ain’t gonna believe this shit
But as the stories go
At some point, are either
Made up entirely or
Based loosely on a truth of
Someone’s subjective perspective
However believable, it does not
Make them necessarily true
Which is the whole point of a
Good story to trigger imaginations
Where their existence resides
Consider that nothing exists permanently
Everything is an adaptation of
What it was before, based on
Molecular structures and combining
Different atoms, protons, and neutrons
In cooperation with their subatomic particles
That to my best understanding
Never actually touch each other
Does anyone really think that
“A long time ago in a Galaxy far, far away”
There was an evil empire or a rebel base?
Where everyone spoke English even though
It only appeared on this planet 1500 years ago
No, of course not, but it sets the stage
For a compelling yet universal story
The same goes for “In the beginning.”
Or at the point of the “big bang”
Are just story primers, because
Otherwise, there is no “story” to tell
Knowing everything is happening all at once
It goes on forever and has always existed
Where is the fun in that, no story, since
Everything is happening all at once
Even by just adding the word expansion
Into the void of nothingness, stars,
Planets, black holes, galaxies, light years
Is a point of demarcation to tell a story
As incorrect, improbable, and unprovable
That it might be, seeing how it is only theoretical
Contracting could also be used
Since there is no absolute proof of either
Save theories by theorists
That is all I am doing here, theorizing
From my subjective perspective of the whole
If an author writes a murder mystery
For the sake of finding whodunnit
No one (hopefully) was actually murdered
However, bipedal earthling artists are
Intrigued to test their sleuthing skills
Building stories outside of the author’s intent
Of who did what to whom and why
Was it love, money, jealousy, revenge,
There is always a justification if you
Look deep enough or make up your own
It would seem then that
The whole point of a story
Is for the experience to
Have the experience and
Alter how each moment
Plot twist or engaged
Characters reveal the story
No story could start from
A non-existent beginning
There is always an unintended
Prequel that precedes it
Later, it was filled in as a backstory as
The story is being told / read / watched
No two people experience the story
The same, as their subjective perspective
Deviates based on their own perceptions
Why the characters behave how they do
Is essentially infinitely different to
The observer or experiences had
There must be a calculable equation
As to how some alter their beliefs
Since mostly they are based on
Projections, perceptions
Suggestions and innuendoes
Long-term indoctrinations
Wishful thinking and hope
That, in the end, is currently “right”
Correct and temporarily unalterable
Satiating a fraught fragile ego
With proof, I understand, yet with
Whimsical suggestions from a
Liked or feared sources make no sense
Some touting a book made-up
By making up authors making up
A non-existent creation from
Water that was already there
As an omniscient loving being
Who on one hand by genocide
Drowned his first batch of children
Only to, on the other hand, set them up
For failure, if they don’t believe in him
To die another violent Armageddon
If nothing else, forcing me to question
My own beliefs are to decipher what
They are actually constructed of
Bullshit my parents taught me through
Brain-soiling and repetition
Shit my teachers made me recite
Grading me on memory skills
Or government and corporations
In bed together to manifest beliefs
That suit their desired outcome
(Such as mind manifesting the scarcity
Of oil as to increase its perceived value)
Even though global production exceeds
100 million barrels per day at 42 gal per barrel
While each gallon of crude oil generates
About 19 gallons of gasoline… Ooopsie
Likewise, as an alternative solution
To end, actually ending abortions
Would be to support a foster care
System of people who actually want
To make sure all humans are valued
Taken care of, guided, and loved
Instead of spending 200 billion dollars
On killing out of the womb fetuses
“For decades, America’s war-profiteering companies have pocketed billions of dollars by selling weapons that directly fuel ethnic cleansings and genocides globally. The United States is home to four of the five largest private arms companies in the world: Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Northrup Grumman, and Raytheon.
These firms, which make up most of the country’s arms sales and profits, promote warfare by capitalizing on conflict. The U.S. accounts for more than 40% of the planet’s weapons exports. $100 to $200 billion U.S. dollars are pocketed in arms sales each year, and that number is gradually increasing year over year.”

If ceasefires were more profitable, they would occur
“Follow the money” – “Deep Throat”
“All the President’s Men”
Let us call it
A morality tit-for-tat
That if one is going
To choose consequences
That affect another’s
Bodily autonomy, then one
Ought to morally step in
To unburden themselves
From that decision by
Offering full fetal care
And financial fostering
To love, support, feed, and
Educate that fetus
Once out of the womb
If those alleged miracles are
So precious……..Prove it
In a show of support
Plus, a validation of
Ones unwavering belief
In an opportunity to
Prove what they believe
Ought to immediately
Volunteer to be
Foster parents and
Immediately adopt
The be born child*
Whilst demanding that
Seed planters be castrated
Physically so as not to further
Burden the foster care system
As long as the state is going
To rule over women’s bodies
Fairness dictates the same for men
* The best argument I recently read
Was that if the state would not allow a
Single female under 21 to adopt a baby
Then the same said state, ought not
Force her to raise her own when in
Either case, she may not be qualified
Responsible or financially prepared
If someone could just help me
Do the math, so it all adds up
Am quite sure it will be
More valuable than E = MC²
How am I supposed
To know who I am
When at any given
Point in the day
I am contemplating
My place in the cosmos
As an infinitesimally
Insignificant tiny speck
Of ambulatory wet dust
That is able to ingest
Soft solids and liquids
Process them for energy
While converting O² into CO²
Like a well-oiled machine
To later release and expel
Different soft solids and liquids
Without intent or understanding
Utilizing hinged phalanges
Like a broken crown of a virus
Typing on a keyboard
Under a thin piece of glass
To “communicate” nothing
Into a silent echo chamber
While arguing with myself
About the non-existence
Of a theoretical big bang
Or a magic man in the sky
As eight billion other specks
Of ambulatory wet dust
Are milling about the day
Riding on a spaceship as
A much larger dust particle
Rotating around a heat and light
Self-contained spherical
Constantly exploding star
On the outer edge of a galaxy
That seen from a distance
Looks like a well lit piece of dust
Amongst an infinite number
Of other galaxies, planets
Stars, black holes, and nebula
Meanwhile
Governments around the globe
Are trying to seize or control
Land, water, resources, and inhabitants
To generate non existing
Revenue as capital to further
Their tiny insignificant
Grasp on irrelevant power
Only obtained by those
Willing to sacrifice said power
When each individual has
Divine access to all of
The infinite universal
Never ending power
I heard nothing and chaos
At the infinite speed in infinity
It was calling to me
To listen to myself
Ponder perceptions of chronology
Knowing it is a man made construct
With its latest establishment
Laid out by railroad companies in 1883
Later updated in 1918, just 107 years ago
Not to mention, years had thirteen months
Before Ceasar and his ego set the Julian calendar
Assumed to be by an executive order
Before new powers that be
Changed it to the Gregorian calendar
Until the latest emperor with no clothes
Changes it to trump time to register our
Devolutionary declination to survival
Not of the fittest, but the most loyal where
Justice takes on the quality of revenge
Equality is privilege redefined from the top down
Billionaires are the new bosses and
“Crumbs look like cake to the masses.”
“Hanging from the Cross” – John Trudell
Actually, this post started because
I was listening to “Time” by Pink Floyd
And even though I have heard it
Many times before, it caught my ears
To realize how hauntingly beautiful
The sound was coming from the radio
As learning to play the guitar has
It intrigued me to hear things differently
Deciphering between keyboard sounds
Bass, and / or lead, or rhythm guitar music
“What can this strange device be?
When I touch it, it gives forth a sound
It’s got wires that vibrate and give music
What can this thing be that I found?
See how it sings like a sad heart
And joyously screams out its pain
Sounds that build high like a mountain
Or notes…… that fall…… gently….. like rain
I can’t wait to share this new wonder
The people will all see its light
Let them all make their own music. “
“2112” – Rush
One thing I have learned from
Listening to time is that
It is rarely convenient
That, and as Brian Greene points out
It does follow an arrow
Looking at the world through a windshield.
