dark moon sights

 

 

People enjoying organized hate

because they’ve too little of

meaning to do

Why do we deny our need for

meaningful activity?

So ready to destroy ourselves

over frivolities, to suborn tragedies

for bored amusement, so confused

about who we want to be.

 

 

 

Stop panicking

Detach from screaming media

propaganda on all sides.

Become clear and calm.

Start from first principles.

What is you true goal?

Imagine it in great detail.

See it.  Feel it.  Smell it.

Embrace and engage with

being there, having it all

right here.

Then, back up.  See all the

surrounding circumstance.

See the steps from here to there,

in ever greater detail.  Learn your course.  Then look,

to find the others, those with goals

close enough or tangential to

your own.  Meet and speak and

discover how to work together

to get where we want to be,

appreciating all we are and do

to become our community.

 

 

 

Do you think “government” is an

evil monolith?  Government is a concept

which in practice is wildly varied, even

in the same place in different areas,

times and issues.  Humans invent and

run our governments.  They are not

imposed from on high.

 

 

 

You who are applauding, supporting

autocratic rule, how do you possibly

think that could work out well for you?

Look at people’s lives as we have so

recently under the evil “Communist”

tyrannies we have raged against.

Not just poverty and oppression, but

the endless hopelessness, crushing

without escape, hardening, deadening

so that constant threat no longer

matters.

Is engorging hate of strangers of

whom you’ve no actual knowledge so

addictive that to joust at them is worth

any price?  Meanness worth any hellish

end?

 

 

 

If we show force in self-defense,

Oh, they might use that as excuse to

harm – do you believe if they decide to

strike us down they would desist

because we backed down in fear

and obeisance?

 

 

 

Everybody is a whole lot of different

bodies with a whole lot of differences.

 

 

 

Science is not synonymous with reality.

Science is what mankind has thus far been

able to discern within that infinite landscape.

 

 

 

calm down; think more effectively --

you're not "awake" you're panicking

instead of finding your power. The government

is what WE make it when we stop panicking

 and start organizing calmly for our common good.

 

 

 

the party that invented cancel culture as a thing

to inveigh against is also the party doing most

of the canceling -- banning books, banning speech,

banning rights, banning easy voting and

representation for "minorities", banning

any/everything they don't control -- like their mentor, Putin

 

 

 

 

4/26-29/22 

remember our heritage

  

 

Digital participation in local government,

especially when local newspapers are no

longer keeping folks in touch with meetings

and such, can be a useful tool for greater

participation, better self-rule.

 

 

 

All the horrible conditions, dreadful happenings

anywhere, everywhere, even hyperboles

and terrorized imaginings set upon us

via our ubiquitous media, hallmark of this

modern day.  To approach knowing who

we are, how we choose to invest or squander

our days, we need to break, to find each

our own voice and its best expression, each

our intersections with what is real.

This side of that social netting veil.

 

 

 

All politicians, all governments, all bosses,

all men, all Jews, all cops, all people of power

-- if they are all the same, all evil, no way

around their control and abuse, then all we

can do is complain into hatred, share

camaraderie of futile outrage – no blame

for inaction because THEY are all the same,

all evil.

 

 

 

Mask as veil metaphor of division.

Tribute to differing experience, vast

spectrum of concerns reduced to

politics of the extreme based on celebrating

hatred, not finding common means and ends.

Such a tragic life, unforced travesty.

Stop!  Think!  Feel!  What are you wasting,

denying yourself in your little time, little energy?

We get this precious opportunity to make our

story – take perspective and watch what you

choose to say.

 

 

 

Women, especially good-looking women, but

apparently any human with a vaginal hole,

born to burn

scapegoat, sacrifice

eternal servant yet sacred womb.

Human cruelty ubiquitously inflicted.

Atavistic need to eat, to amalgamate,

to become ever more.  Or less.

 

 

 

let's be honest:  life is not easy anywhere

for people who have to leave their homes

and everything they know, travel over difficult

terrain filled with dangers to a foreign place

where there are many who hate you

just because you are not them

 

 

 

 

don't know that clear bs is clear bs? 

time to take a break from media

and learn how to think clearly

 

 

 

I invest in a nonbinary view -- there are

always more than two sides to any story;

and looking for the nonobvious opens perspectives.

 

 

 

people without lives of their own

revel in the sins of celebrities

 

 

 

is it only a battle if we insist on a

war metaphor?  Can it, as many say,

be a journey or an education  or a ride

or an assemblage of experience? 

Instead of seeing a dichotomy of good/bad,

maybe it is stumbling and flying?

 

 

 

 

people have gotten so mean

 

how do we reverse this?

 

 

 

no, really think about it:  you are POTUS

with only those powers and all of the drilling

opposition -- What (exactly and how) would

you do?  How can you make that more likely?

 

 

 

 

It always depends on your definition of “good”

Avril Ides

 

Personal animus has too often become

the basis of “truth”.

 

 

 

By now we could have solved the suffering

of unnecessary pain

By now we could have applied the physics,

biology, chemistry to take back our human

threat to our planet home

By now we could learn to manage what

we have and can make so every one

of us lives in peace assured by

understanding interdependence

within which we all can work secure

in access to all we need to succeed

as a people, by now.

 

 

 

It’s not about Truth – it’s all about

interpretation.

Who interprets for you?

 

 

I’m not looking for problems.

I’m looking for solutions to clean

up the mess we’ve gotten ourselves

into in the complaint oriented society.

April raindrops

 

Nature is cruel enough.

What humans do to ourselves

and each other – what’s the point?

Compassion or some quest for wisdom?

Random moving through space, through time,

through sufferings so we know we’re here?

 

 

 

One puzzling issue:

People who do evil seem to think so much

better of themselves than those who strive

to do good.

 

 

 

So much ultimate beauty

Yes, those surprise sunrise glories,

chilling heart crying stories, songs that

won’t stop singing through every step

of your day that makes those days less

onerous to carry through.

Who we are in silent spaces of our own

self-pondering, wandering in wonder.
