The following is an addendum
From a previous post
That found some legs
And stood here on its own
.
(You know, countries
Those drawn lines
Of division
On a map that
Magically separate
Earthling artists from
Other earthling artists
Because either their
Wavy cloth is prettier
Language is different or
Their god
Has a bigger
Dick
Then your god)
What do you call it
When you return
To the bathroom
To check if you
Flushed the toilet
.
A urine re-view
There is no death
You are either
On stage or
Off stage
Both are
Rehearsals
For the other
.

“They left the planet long ago
The elder race still learn and grow
Their power grows
With purpose strong
To claim the home
Where they belong
Home to tear the Temples down…
Home to change!”

Either in words or pictures,
That is still all it is
Something an artist drew
Or conjured an image up
With descriptive words
Using the emotion of fear
Of flames burning
Tortured souls
Likewise
Same goes for
Heaven as well
Picture images of
Harps and clouds and
Some fevored ego
Sitting on a throne
Neither exist
If so
Where?
Where surrounding
This speck of dust
In the billions and
Trillions of miles and
Aeons of empty space
In any given direction
With a few Gazillion
Scattered at random
Sparks and stones
Where are
Heaven and hell
Just asking
.
Here’s ego for you
Take it from me
And John Lennon
Neither exist
“Imagine there’s no heaven
It’s easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today…. Aha-ah…
Imagine there’s no countries
It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace… You…
You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world… You…
You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will live as one”
– John Lennon

Too many people
Have the
Misguided perception
That
Some how
Some way
An individual
Can work
The system
To their advantage
Ignoring
The
Starvation
Pollution
Manipulation
Overpopulation
Consumption
Destruction
Separation
Corruption
All which add
Up to
Systematization
For one
Not wanting
To tax the rich
Cause someday
They too
“Might”
Be “rich”
Accepting
Unfavorable behavior
Case someday
They too will need
Plenty leniency
For theirs
Because deep down
Inside
The world
Would be “perfect”
If everyone else
Could cater to their
Malignant narcissism
Why hang on to it
That happened moments ago
Or as Bill Hicks said
We only have this moment
Or something to that effect
“The basic tool for the manipulation of reality is the manipulation of words. If you can control the meaning of words, you can control the people who must use them.”

Blood red
Bloodshed
First painting
Monsters
Then painting
Targets
On monster’s backs
Without abstraction
What must needs
Be considered is that
Instead of a bunker
Office hotel or airport
If the now deceased
General
or any other
Sovereign citizen
Of any * country
Was in utero
The color of
Righteous indignation
Quickly fades
After putting
Brown skin
Under brown dirt
By black holes
From even
Darker souls

Yet somewhere
Melting clocks are
As much of reality as
The ignorance not to
Recognize that all
The effort
To save fetuses
Is so they
Can be used
For target practice **
At taxpayer’s expense
By rich people
Against poor people
Causing even
Mona Lisa to frown

That may or may not
Steal the package
From your house
Isn’t nearly
As criminal as
The you inside of you
Who feels compelled
With the need to posses
Material goods
To fleetingly feel better
About one’s self
Robbed of divinity
Assuming a stolen identity
Incarcerated in a shell
Unable to escape
The security fraud
Shackling the mind
That says
It is this item
That will
Complete me
No wait
These items
Hey, I’m guilty too
Just putting it here
To remind myself
Of my criminal behavior
The only reason
There is perceived
Order in the universe
It is because
Ancestors said so
(In part by putting
An invisible man
In the sky)
After that
All else fails
When in truth
It is as chaotic
As it comes
Time we
Recognize that
Relax and enjoy
The chaos
Think outside the box
Rather the box of boxes
As if there’s no box
Looking at the world through a windshield.
