pisces siren call

  

 
 
untethered
tossed and scattered
by random wind
 
 
 
Rise up against the bullies
Prove them irrelevant to
our dynamic synergy
 
 
 
 
maybe if instead of thinking of people as
evil for participating in common practice
even if that practice is evil, thinking of them
as weak, perhaps willfully ignorant, or merely
unconcerned with larger issues just going
through their accustomed lives, so it's not
about labeling "good" and "evil" but about
learning, communicating and changing to be
better people because the human
super power is adaptability
 
 
 
how about we do the smart thing and move
toward renewables, let big oil take care of itself
without government subsidies or special influence;
give the consumers who need it energy
subsidies while we're working out the changes
 
 
 
how about we teach practical skills,
scientific method, logic, critical thinking,
arts, civic responsibilities and how
democracy works, communication skills
 
 
 
silly rabbits, it's not "leftism" or "rightism"
or "socialism" or any of these stupid isms
we use instead of communicating -- it's that
we use these stupid isms instead of communicating.
 
 
 
 
there's plenty of "canceling" to go around
it's not about RvD, but on one hand pure
capitalism -- giving the customers what
they demand; on the other it is fear-based i
nsularity -- don't tell me what I don't what to hear
 
 
 
A child unaware of how
to avoid punishment
carelessly enjoying frivolity or
deeply engaged in grand passion
when suddenly “You!  Nasty brat!
causing me to feel disturbed.
Now, we can’t have that!
You must be beaten to feed my
equilibrium,my pay.”
