Before this psychotic
Cringe worthy
Binge unworthy
Series started
That “we” were still
At war with Russia
I thought that ended with
“War Games” and “Rocky IV”
I’ve been going about my business
Like the only people
We are at war with
Was ourselves
You?
.
Except for those Bushwhacked
Skirmishes of distraction for oil
Where rich people in white houses
Send poor people to die in the sand
.
Must be a page out of the
Orwellian playbook
“The past was alterable. The past never had been altered. Oceania was at war with Eastasia. Oceania had always been at war with Eastasia.”
George Orwell, 1984
.
Not sure about other countries
But apparently merikkka needs
To have an external enemy
Beyond the internal ones
Teams, religion, blue states
Red states, races, genders etc.
.
“I don’t mind about the war, that’s one of the things I _like_ to watch, if it’s a war going on, ’cause then I know if our side’s winning, if our side’s losing…”
– Roger Waters
“The Ballad Of Bill Hubbard”
45 and the house in chambers
They are in charge of deciding
What group of camouflaged people
Can legally go kill other people
At their whimsical discretion
Or at some corporation’s behest
Under the clichėd guise of “National Security”
Paid for by your tax dollars at work
Well, work or slavery depending on
If you like your job or
How much you owe the banks
Using the same tax dollars
To build and deploy WMD’s
From the invisible socialist superfund
Cloaked as the military industrial complex
Aborting thousands of
Out of the womb grown fetuses
For being too close to an oil source
Remember, that is where
The “Power” lies
.
Does anyone really believe
Some alleged “poll” percentages
Declaring the public wants the trial
To have witnesses and documents
Are going to sway 45 and congress
From their mission
Perpetually distracting the public
Away from a lull of crass consumption
By impeaching a president
Get real* (this is eyes glued theatre)
With sponsors selling intangibles
(A better night’s sleep)
(Life “Insurance”)
(“Whiter” teeth)
Etcetera, you get the picture
There is definitely more evidence
To support that theory than somehow
There being an end to
The dog and pony show
By either confession or conviction
.
Trading on smugness or defeat
Will keep the economy going
Regardless of the oval occupant
Until it doesn’t, when and where
New scapegoats can be blamed
And start a new cycle of self loathing
Causing new purchases of stuff, so
People can feel better about themselves
Therefore
Mission Accomplished
.
*
At least during this distraction
Doesn’t seem like as many
People are getting into body bags
By a single distraction
Repeated and regurgitated
“That’s our latest mindless cliché. Go out and buy some jewelry and a new car otherwise the terrorists win.”
– George Carlin
.
‘Member
Dubya and Dick got off Scot-free
After their closed door
Non recorded testimony
To the 911 commission
Complicit or not
The American people
Had / have the “right” to know
Haha Haha
Perhaps not so much
Mission Accomplished
As mission perpetuated
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
