Speculators and prognosticators
Are suggesting we will lose
This democratic republic
.
If that is what lead us here
Perhaps that is not a bad thing
For example IT’S NOT WORKING
.
“When you’re stepping over a homeless guy on the sidewalk…
Does it ever occur to you to think?
“Wow – maybe our system doesn’t work?!”
– Bill Hicks
.
I would like to at least think
Regardless the silly sideshow
We are knocking on the door
To another dimension
That will give us
Enough of a glimpse
To realize we are all one
No differences no seperation
The miraculous life giving blood pump
Works the same for a person
Lying wretchedly in the gutter
As it does for the well groomed CEO
In their A/C’d office in an ivory tower
Regardless race gender or beliefs
Who both in the aeons of time
Will simply trade places of “stature”
Seems a little silly now doesn’t it
Making one either hopeful or despotic
That this “time” around
Things will be different
Is it that Captain 45
Mr. So Pro Life
Can decide
On his own
Who he gets to kill
While his
Cult of followers
Accept that
Simply because
He said he is
Saving fetuses
.
Scalpels and suction
Are way too easy
Much more sporting
To wait till the fetuses
Are out of the womb
As moving targets
And really far away
Too far to see the
Whites of their eyes
Just knowing the
Brown of their skin
And it is
Politically expedient
To the blind followers
As the difference is
Between black and white
If Obama did what
Trump has done
Or a fraction thereof
Not only would the
Republicans
Escort him to jail
The Democrats
Would lock the cell door
Right and wrong are not
Divided along party lines
Not so you would notice
Observing the circus
In Washington d.c.
Are not broken
In a moment
Merely
Broken moments
Of spirit
Over a succession
Of time
Beliefs are 100%
Absolutely unprovable
That’s why they
Are called beliefs
Merely conjecture
Based on suppositions
Ignoring inference
That support
Evidence and conclusion
Like building a house
On a solid foundation
Of concrete and rebar
Instead of quicksand
Near a floodplain
During a hurricane
If you believe that the sun is not going to come out tomorrow and it does not, not only will it be too dark to prove it.
.
Anybody you find will be to freaked out to listen to you trying to prove your belief was correct.
.
If you believe the sun will come out tomorrow and it does, it still does not prove your belief either, as it is established as a pattern of reality.
.
However, the notion that the sun will come out tomorrow is false in and of itself. Unless it is only considered from a geocentric perspective.
.
Still that too is untrue, we just do not have a simplistic way to describe that the mere rotation of the planet gives its inhabitants the illusion that the sun “rises” in the east and “sets” in the west.
Why?
Cause everyone is too busy trying to substantiate their beliefs hoping that they will be believed to validate their fevered ego and existence.
Since a heliocentric perspective is too scary, that perhaps the world doesn’t revolve around them.
You know, heliocentric, where the “sun” our closest, yet very distant star is just there.
.
Floating magically in space surrounded by eight nine or so planets in its orbit. In the outer bands of an even larger orbit of a black hole at the center of the Milky Way. Surrounded by other galaxies with similar systems.
Of course, I can’t prove it, must be something I believe.
Humans seem to have
A spatial relationship
With the truth
If information
Serves an individual
That info is as close
As the moment and
Is exploited as such and
Categorized as “Truth”
On the other hand
Truth could be
In the same room
And still be
Light years away
By ignoring it or by
Disagreeing with it
Mis-perceiving it
Hiding from it
.
Think of something
You consider a truth
Then question it
.
Soon you will discover
The only truth
Is the question
John Bolton didn’t kill himself
.
Followed by clever memes
Featuring the angry lady
Pointing at the smug cat
High speed impeachment sniff test
Follows along the lines of an Irish drunk test
.
“An Irishman is never drunk
– as long as he can hold
– onto one blade of grass and not
– fall off the face of the earth”
– Irish Proverb
.
“A puppet president is never guilty
– as long as he can
– surround himself
– with enough kool-aid drinkers
– and not be put
– immediately in jail”
– Trumpian mantra
Is LOCO
.
Buy one
Get one
” F R E E ”
Yeah right

Buy (shit) something
You don’t want
So you can have
One you don’t need
Simply because
It’s ” FREE ”
.
Bringing the fence sitter
Consumer to their knees
Emptying wallets
Sacrificing savings
At the alter of consumption
To the god greed
In the den of thieves
At the end of
The paved road
Not on the
Distractions
Which is what
Your ego wants
But rather on
The divine nature
Of your being
Which is what
Your soul wants
.
“We teach best what we need to learn most ourselves.”
– Richard Bach

shit…..

Now, what do I do?
Oh yeah
Focus
Looking at the world through a windshield.
