“The Way Of The World”
Forget political suicide
Think about
Those committing
Karmic suicide
By those staying
On the presidential
“Celebrity” bandwagon
Having to return
Again and again
Again and again
To learn to be
Their own individual
Spark of the divine
‘Stead of mean spirited
Braggadocios simpletons
Altering perceptions
With word manipulations
Turning truth twisting
Into an art
Anchoring the
Evolutionary pull
Of all of humanity
For the illusion
The group
They belong to
Has all the answers
.
(Was going to stop there
Then this showed up
Sort of a post, post
Clarification)
.
Crowd size
Will be the least
Of their worries
As those experience
Eternal recurrences
Finding themselves
In a body whose
Personal private parts
Are being pawned by
A person in “power”
Trump: Yeah, that’s her. With the gold. I better use some Tic Tacs just in case I start kissing her.
You know, I’m automatically attracted to beautiful —
I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything.
Bush: Whatever you want.
Trump: Grab ’em by the pussy. You can do anything.

Perhaps another body
They could incarnate in
Is that of a small child
With brown skin
Escaping a dire situation
Only to find themselves
In a worse situation
Separated from parents
Locked in cages
In an allegedly “free” country
Yet another body
Could be that of
A seventh generation farmer
Whose family has spent
Years of cultivating the land
Time garnering overseas markets
The logistics of getting food
From point A to B, C and D
Only to have some one
Turn it off like a switch
In a tweet satiating an ego
That thinks it knows
What it’s doing

About truth is
It has a sense
About it
Like fresh dew
On morning grass
Out of nowhere
A miracle
Of nature
It appears
Truth is not
Manifested by
Shouting
Repetition
Logic or
Ill-logic
More by
Silence
Which when
You pause
To enjoy
You know what
Truth is
And that is
A nice thing

Indoctrination
: to teach (someone) to fully accept the ideas, opinions, and beliefs of a particular group and to not consider other ideas, opinions, and beliefs
– m-w.com
Like the name you have had since birth, most everything you know has been gleaned from what you have been told, read, seen or heard.
Most of it pummeled into your head by your parents because you were small, weak and malleable and they knew no better. Garbage in garbage out, so to speak.
Regurgitating the status quo, falling in line with little variation from what they learned from their parents.
If not parents, then society squeezing you into a pseudo-individuality notion, cloaked in catastrophic conformity.
Mostly ponying up sides, who’s grass is greener, what side of the tracks you grew up on.
The “greatness” of “your” team, “your” religion, “your” race, “your” city, “your” state, “your” country, etc.
Inflating an already buoyant arrogant self aggrandizing ego.
Decimating creativity, intuition nurturing, empathy and spirit.
Why?
Because you were told so.
.
The theoretical proof that this is true, would be if you and I were plucked off of this planet then transferred to another one. Whilst having our counter evolutionary memory erased.
Perhaps, even a planet like this one. Yet where the inhabitants only knew peace and understanding, cooperation and sharing.
Respecting, honoring and caretaking the Gaia consciousness that birthed them in the first place.
Making impossible the concept of an omnipotent and omniscient force into a male dominator Santa Claus look-alike angry, vengeful yet allegedly forgiving god that lives in the sky.
One whom, though the magic of bullshit, had subordinates transcribe vague rules, infinitely open to interpretation, impossible beginnings and unlikely outcomes.
As a means of controlling masses, like schools of fish using fear to have said masses turn on a dime without thought, awareness or impending danger.
Enticed to blind consumption as the only means of spiritual fulfillment, discarded and dumped when the next new shiny object appears.
As that has become the end all be all of this existence.
Consumption in this
Indoctri-nation
Or on a larger scale
As Bill Hicks called it
“The third mall from the sun”
Or George Carlin put it.

From
“Life is worth losing”
“It just seems to me, that only a really low IQ population could have taken this beautiful continent, this magnificent American landscape that we inherited.
Well actually we stole it from the Mexicans and the Indians, but hey, it was nice when we stole it. Looked pretty good, it was pristine.
Paradise.
Have you seen it lately? Have you taken a good look at it lately? It’s fucking embarrasing.
Only a nation of unenlightened half-wits could have taken this beautiful place and turned it into what it is today – a shopping mall.
A big fucking shopping mall. You know that, that’s all you’ve got here, folks. Mile after mile after mile of malls after malls. Many, many malls. Major malls and mini malls.
They put the mini malls in between the major malls, and in between the mini malls, they put the mini marts. And in between the mini marts, you got the car lots, gas stations, muffler shops, laundry mats, cheap motels, fast food joints, strip clubs and dirty bookstores.
America the beautiful. One big transcontinental commercial cesspool. And how do the people feel about all this? How do people feel about living in a coast to coast shopping mall?
Well they think it’s JUST FUCKING DANDY!”

The blurred lines

Detailed accuracy
Setting precedents
For the President
TV shows like
“The West Wing”
“Scandal”
“House Of Cards”
“Designated Survivor”
“Billions”
Just to name a few
Where life imitates art
Stead of art imitating life
Why
Because
Housing and
Feeding one’s family
Is too mundane
So the carrot
Of consumerism
Takes hold of
Waning attention spans
Enticing everyone to
Keep ahead of the Jones’s
In the hopes life will have
More meaning
With more stuff
Sold between
Collusion and criminality
Treason and tweets
Deals and deceptions
As no one would
Knowingly
Or willfully
Conduct themselves
In the manner of
What is viewed
On the telescreen
While neither trying
To manifest a conspiracy
Nor perpetuate one
For example by
Blaming Hollywood
We all each have
Our own responsibility
In playing this game
How we choose to play
Is entirely on each individual
Accepting irrational
Immoral outlandish
Trumped up arguments
As salve for a bruised ego
By desperately
Wanting to believe
That an outsider
Could fix this
Alleged democracy
Though it is merely
A dog and pony show
With the tail
Wagging the dog
As the rest are
Ponying up
To their puppet master
Dangling by ropes
Strong enough
To be hung by
For being
Fact and truth
Manipulative
Accomplices
“News”
Blurred its way
Into entertainment
As soon as
They were referred to
As “shows”
Profit centers
Peddling disinformation
Between the featured
Advertisements that “pay”
To keep the drama
On the air
And the people
Fighting amongst themselves
Over concepts
That keep them separate
Nothing blurry in the following
.
‘Cause that’s all you ever hear about in this country. It’s our differences. That’s all the media and the politicians are ever talking about–the things that separate us, things that make us different from one another.
That’s the way the ruling class operates in any society. They try to divide the rest of the people. They keep the lower and the middle classes fighting with each other so that they, the rich, can run off with all the fucking money!
Fairly simple thing. Happens to work. You know? Anything different–that’s what they’re gonna talk about–race, religion, ethnic and national background, jobs, income, education, social status, sexuality, anything they can do to keep us fighting with each other, so that they can keep going to the bank!
You know how I define the economic and social classes in this country? The upper class keeps all of the money, pays none of the taxes. The middle class pays all of the taxes, does all of the work. The poor are there just to scare the shit out of the middle class. Keep ’em showing up at those ‘jobs’.

There is no such thing as
Immigration
* “It’s a round world
Last time I checked”
Everybody is just here
Moving around
Of course
But still
Just here
As for other
Cosmological life forms
That may or may not have visited
Or even stayed
They too are
Nowhere / now here
In other words
It is best we
Treat all
As either
Invited guests or
Spawns of Gaia consciousness
Because if their shoes
Were on our feet and
(If they even have shoes)
We were them
Or US were they
We’d realize that
Is what would best
Serve us

Linear perception of an event
Isolated as a held moment
Changes one’s perspective
In such a way as to alter
Its perceived affect and effect
Trust the universe
It has all its trust in you
All will be ok
At least to an armchair peacenik
Forget the quid pro quo
For that is a given
By keeping an eye on the money
Since that is the distraction
Ask why your tax dollars
400 milion of them
Are leaving the country any way
“The State Department funding included $115 million for a broad array of purposes, to buy American-produced weapons through the Foreign Military Financing program, but also to provide advisers and training to boost Ukraine’s NATO interoperability: English language labs, medical equipment and improvised bomb simulators. The funds could also pay for spare parts, sustainment and training for previously purchased U.S. gear.”

That is merely military industrial complex corporate welfare socialism trading your tax dollars by “giving” other countries play money to keep US proletarians producing and consuming.
Waving flags and excrementing their opinion on the “evil’s” of “socialism”.
Why?
Whew, I could leave that right there.

“What’s gonna happen to the Arms industry, when we realise we’re all one? HAHA! It’s gonna fuck up the economy!
The economy that’s fake anyway! This would be a real bummer. So you can see why the government’s cracking down on the idea of experiencing unconditional love.”

There are a myriad of answers.
Here’s one.
The Pavlovian puppet people puppies are so well trained by ringing the “evil’s” of “socialism” bell, they don’t even know they are participating in it.

“We spend a lot of time talking about the value of an education in America.
But if education is such a valuable investment, why do we spend more than eight times as much of our federal budget on the military than schooling?
One indicator of a nation’s priorities lies in its federal budget. And by that logic, America’s budget makes clear that we prioritize defense over all other expenditures — by a wide margin. In 2015, military expenditures accounted for about 54 percent of our discretionary spending, according to The National Priorities Project. In contrast, education accounted for only six percent of the budget.”

“People don’t want anything near ‘em… except military bases. They don’t mind that do they? They like that. Give ‘em an army base, give ‘em a navy base, makes ‘em happy, why? Jobs! Jobs! Self-interest! Even if the base is loaded with nuclear weapons, THEY DON’T GIVE A FUCK!!!
They say “well, I’ll take a little radiation if I can get a job!” Working people have been fucked over so long in this country, those are the kind of decisions they’re left to make.”
– George Carlin
.
The bigger picture is that the military industrial complex budget is nearly a Trillion $ 1,000,000,000,000.
Strange thing to spend money on, in an allegedly “Christian” nation.
Don’t know much about that Jesus fellow, however, have never gleaned any perceptions, writings or myths that he advocated any one voluntarily give the “state” a sixth of their income to use on wmds.
Wreaking havoc terror and fear on people who would perhaps, just like to eat and care for their families.
Perspective:
1 Trillion divided by 220 million people = $4,500 per each per year

“It’s just a ride. And we can change it anytime we want. It’s only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings and money. A choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love, instead, see all of us as one.”
Here’s what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride. Take all that money that we spend on weapons and defenses each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace.”
