Why do we ask why
There’s no answerable why
Yes I’m asking why
Our Irony
Making sense of the senseless
In this senseless world
“I’m an atheist.”
– David Cross
.
A declared atheist
Is a person
Who believes
In not believing
In an unbelievable
Person / entity
That has been
Conjured up
By collective
Beliefs
To satiate
A need to believe
.
“Now, believe is a word that I have a serious problem with, right, because it has a “Lie” in the middle.
.
“DNA” Descendant Now Ancestor
– John Trudell
.
Declaration of a deity
Either spoke or written
Is hardly proof
Of any existence
.
I would bet
In a pinch
That person
Would double
Pascal’s wager
To prove
They were wrong
.
“A lot of people don’t like to think that human beings came from monkeys, and it is usually for religious reasons.
You know, you talk to people and they are tell you they know, that they came from Jesus, they didn’t come from a monkey.
You’ve ever get in those conversations, where someone says they know.
NO? Bro, I know I came from Jesus BRO I know man, I came from Jesus BRO I came from Jesus, I didn’t come from a monkey.
“Ah, aren’t you like 30 ? “Hey, how do you know so much????…… there are dudes that have studied this for thousands of years? You got it wrapped up?
I don’t know if I came from a monkey or I came from Jesus, because I’m pretty fucking dumb and I’ve done no research whatsoever!
All right? But I’m honest! And you know what else I’ve done? I like to memorize shit that smart people have already figured out.
It is a huge time saver! and everybody should do it! Instead of saying you know, go and read some shit.
One if the things they figured out, is that they mapped out the human genome… whatever that #uck that means!
It is like the ingredient for people? or something, something? and what they found out was that people are 96% chimpanzee!
That’s a lot of monkey! I mean It is something even worth arguing? If I gave you a sandwich, which is 96% shit… and 4% ham, would you be willing to consider that ham sandwich?
WE ARE MONKEYS!!
It doesn’t mean there’s no god!
That’s where everybody gets crazy! It doesn’t mean everybody has an answer, or that you’re right! No one is saying there’s no god!
All I’m saying is maybe……God made a monkey, which doesn’t like to think it is a monkey and lies a lot!
Does that make sense?
That’s makes way more sense! That’s what we do!”
– Joe Rogan
It is not tragic
It’s systematic
.
Only gonna get worse
Till it fills the last hearse
.
Doing their president’s bidding
With a wink he’s only kidding
.
Of course its happened before
Blaming 45 doesn’t end the gore
.
Only shifts the responsibility
What is left of our humanity
.
Marching to a death cadence
Losing real self independence
.
All going to die anyway
Why not make it lead spray
.
Bullets are just another form
Bringing into play a new norm
.
Wonder why this is different
From an automobile accident
.
Just as many deaths occur
Check the statistics to be sure
.
One seems 2 B circumstantial fate
Other happens from learned hate
.
Both largely preventable
If we were only responsible
.
When someone’s loved one
Is randomly killed by a gun
.
That is the wrong target to blame
Instead of addressing the shame
.
In the way we treat each other
Over the issue of skin color
.
A thin layer of epidermis
Hardly worth dividing us
.
Won’t get any kind of relief
Until collective evolves its beliefs
.
Could so easily be undone
Knowing all have the same skeleton
.
To accept otherwise is naive
Viewed from the box in the grave
Fascism does not stem
From the will of the leader
It takes root in the righteous
Indignation of its base
Guided by misdirection
Self hate, empathetic lack
Projected onto a man
That embodies a reflection
Of fears to be faced
Racism to be erased
Of ignorance to be overcome
Misogyny to be undone
Ending xenophobia
In this bizarre dystopia
.

Besides beer and wine
Words are my drug
Taken in large
Or small doses
Always mind altering
Context is the key
The dictionary
Is my main supplier
Merriam Webster
Is his / her name
With backups
Just in case
I need a quick fix
In the moment
That I’m at
A loss for words
Can not spell
Let alone pronounce
Either way
I can imbibe
All I want
Guaranteed
No hangover
Or detrimental
Side effects
Save being
Guilty of
Possession
With intent
To distribute
Occasionally
Mixed in with
Comas or
Question marks
A series of
Dot dot dot dots
For pause and
Effect / affect
Enhanced with
Exclamation points
To tweak
The experience or
Add a little flavor
Tilting at windmills
F that
I’m hallucinating
At illusions
There’s no I in team
Or stagnate for that matter
One of course in think
Three in individual
That is where the eye’s fit best
.
“People are wonderful. I love individuals.
//
Every person you look at; you can see the universe in their eyes, if you’re really looking.”
– George Carlin
Has been thrown
It has come to my attention
That anger is my retention
Barely needed a mention
Oozing with negativity
With daily regularity
Is there any positivity
In this Grinch sized heart
So Scrooge yet not too smart
Where or where do I start
Aware that it seems like
“The only joy in my life
Is a dishwashing liquid”
– Steve Martin
Here goes
Wish me luck
Happiness Is
A gracious smile from your wife
When she’s heard the same joke
For the gazillionth time
A warm squishy hug
From said person above
The one I most love
Enjoy when we can get away
Even if just for a day
To hang out and play
Though technically not “mine”
Appreciate grandchildren
Who spend their time
Being in a financial position
To assist the kids
Help raise their children
Another thing that makes me glad
Must have had some influence
When they can all call me dad
To be continued
Who knows, maybe it will catch on.
I love cracks
Cracks in the system
That is
Just when people think
The broken societal vase
Is being put back together
To the power’s liking
Even a dimly lit bulb
Placed inside exposes
Suttle and ridiculous flaws
Normal is not normal
Abnormal is normal
Chaos is the order of the day
While it seems to be
Getting worse
Nothing could be
Further from the truth
Just another step
In our evolution
Towards enlightenment
Always darkest
Before the dawn
So we are told
In that we will
Appreciate the light
When it comes again
Then when that too
Also seems dark
It will be before
Brighter illumination
Till we ourselves find
We’ve become
Beings of light and
Spiritual masters
No vase no cracks
Just pure love
Have the fortunately unfortunate
Opportunity to listen to satellite radio
Flipping back and forth between
The *FOX and the **henhouse (MSNBC)
A significantly insignificant man
Either spoke or took to Twitter
Regardless of what 45 opined
The pundits polished up their side
Explaining for their followers
What is comfy for them to hear
Dosed with a spoonful of sugar
To help the medicine go down
Or caustically salted to taste
Either way each getting spoon fed
Keeping both coming back for more
Making both fat and happy
Smug in each their own perspective
Nary a clue it is a fishing game
Of catch and keep reeling them in
To sell the same profit products
Regardless the station or content
Clear in the chaotic context
Divide dupe distract and devolve
Formulate fear and forboding
Keep eyes glued and ears tuned
Filling up the bottom line
By emptying wallets and purses
Securing profits @ insecurity’s expense

Meanwhile none of it is news
Barely as 80% is prognostication
Of staggering flow charts describing
If a = b – c then will z × s = win
By paid professional partisan pushers
Why else are they called news “shows”
