becoming

 Become calm

and see what occurs.

 

 

 

Reality has a liberal bias, or rather

today's so-called conservatives (unrecognizable

as such to people with traditional

conservative values) have an anti-reality bias.

 

 

 

the deficit boogeyman is a rightwing framing to give

talking points against pro-people policies which they

conveniently forget when they want a war or useful

pork to please their base

 

 

 

 

I admit to often framing arguments for policies

 I support as within conservative values on the theory

that conservatives would be more likely to agree --

however we have now been seeing that these people

are not conservatives and have no values beyond

power to torture those they don't like

(no matter their ignorant reasons)

 

 

 

Evil people doing evil for evil reasons,

making excuses for acts that can't be

excused by citing evil  myths.

 

 

 

I don't know what is,

what is real or pervading fantasy,

or what I will to be to fulfill

my spirit's fate.

Invading memories, causative chains

forged, chopped into phases, into

seasons of fractured days,

desperate nights, no tether or other,

to hear and listen, extend friendly ear,

sustained, clear peel.

 

 

 

There was a time.

There was a girl without fixed identity.

There was yearning,

not for sex or fame, but adventure.

So much out there

to touch, to understand or feel.

It's not about identity -- what does that

even mean?

It's the touch, the taste, the odor bound

emotions,

the mystic dance day by day.

Can I take the chance to tell you?

Can I trust you to be kind?  In touch,

mind to mind without fear or

competition?  There was a time I believed

in fellow man, or humanity

the wise.

 

 

 

It's not just an outlet we feel compelled

to by circumstance -- we come to hate,

feel rage justified by potent fantasy

of revenge.

 

 

 

"Free Speech" is apparently now code

for rightwing rhetoric.  On social media

it means:  applaud all of our talking points

or be mercilessly attacked.  Orwellian?

 

 

Covid masks are face condoms for preventing

breath-transmitted disease.

 

 

 

Caught up in the crowd, so warm.

Encompassing all rage and fear --

safe home violent mob,

carrying cloud

outside this wicked world

enclosed within.

 

 

 

Is Trump the embodiment of an

American God?

 

 

 

The essence of sin

is not badness, evil,

deserving of punishment.

The punishment is the sin --

separation from bliss.

Redemption is not restitution

but reclamation of soul wholeness

in eternal love, self-embodiment

of perfection.

 

 

 

Legal weed

Broadband TV

Heat/air conditioning to be

reasonably comfortable despite

the climate.

Enough food to keep from feeling

hungry.

Access to medical repair when ill.

A basic background to live our lives,

to find our roles, our voices.

To open wide lungs and minds,

make considered choices, self-defining.
