as our lives explode

 

 

When the world is on fire

you had best be aware

that you love the person

you know you are.

 

 

 

These so-called leaders,

destroying the people's world

for their greater self-adulation

Look at their happy faces

as our lives explode.

 

 

 

 

Persistence

Accretization

Expansion of Inspiration

To make a difference

We call can better live with

 

 

 

This inflation the US Fed is

so concerned to control, can

that be more about slowing

small business success, raising

unemployment, pulling back the

growing power of labor?

Wouldn't the tried and true way

to bring down prices be real

competition?  A thousand businesses

blooming?

 

 

 

Everything will be fine in

this Universe unfolding as it must.

Humans destroying our world,

each other, in fatal frenzy

Attacked viciously?  Show stalwart

strength in overwrought,

overwhelming response.

Escalate to nuclear all out

holocaust -- end of mankind

Yes!

for now the planet heals.

All is fine.

 

 

 

When I say "I love you"

I hope you don't see:

"Please notice me.  Give my life

focus, purpose; be what I need."

What I am saying is:

"Your being is importantly

meaningful to me."

the folly and the possibilities

 

Instead of means tested public services 

or money,

how about full service community 

support,

paid for with government grants and 

donations

and volunteers?

Thank indigenous people for 

the use of their land.

Businesses, you don't want to pay

higher wages to get your work done?

Do whatever you can to lower prices

for housing, food, energy, transportation,

medical care, childcare, education ...

Those Religious wars

Christian against Christian

Where is the Christ?

Do what you can

with what you've got

Adapt to what is happening

Politicians!  Public Relations!

People paid to lie 

"for the public good"

Business, by its nature,

needs a working social structure

within which to be created,

to grow, to exist.

Thus, it behooves those who

have these businesses to be

responsible citizens.

You used my need to f me over.

You used my trauma to extract

whatever I had.

How are you any better than

whatever disgusts you?

They are happy to ignore

inconsistencies, obvious

fallacies, crazy idiocy from

their designated leaders

because they need the even

false safety, security, of

unquestioning.

Reality has no bias.

It is simply what is.

Still, it is interpreted

differently by every

subjective mind.

... It's complicated

Why consider the poor,

noxious maggots infecting

our city streets;

ugly, depressing.

Let them rot, or, better, made

useful targets for our sport

and ire.

Let them starve, for our

bouyant entertainment, or,

better, strike out violently

against their own in competition

for whatever they can scrape

together.

Perhaps a few may amuse, be

risen as pets -- thus we exhibit

benevolence.

Or perhaps fate may provide

conditions to allow bombardment.

Irradicate, that we reclaim for our

investment in those places they

infest.

the thing with big media is that it is 

big business

the aim of big business is profit

whatever gets that profit becomes 

the business model

look to small media for actual information – 

find the reporters you can trust

if we expanded our social consciousness 

beyond our daily survival games, perhaps 

we would see the folly and the possibilities,

 and a better path from here to there

ways to proceed

 

What makes these anti-government,

anti-people shenanigans "Right"?

(They certainly aren't conservative,

but rather wildly radical.)

It seems ironic that the people

most able to gain public attention

are so often those we least

ought attend.

War is outrageously expensive

We can't let tyrants take over

We intelligent people,

can we find practical, effective

ways to proceed?

If you can't stand, you can 

still dance with every part

of you that can move to the

music.

people with money ought to be out there 

having a wonderful time, maybe 

throwing cash about to see the throngs 

applaud, partying and laughing, a happy

inspiration to us all

why the hell are they wasting their time 

on bad politics? 

we would all be so much better off if people 

would stop wasting time/energy attacking 

other people and use those resources to 

attack our common problems

All these signs, synchronicities

shouting out to me

existential Truth

What is so meaningful we need

to live for?

Most of us seem to hate our lives

most of the time.

Isn't that what the cruelty is

about?  Needing to feel something,

to distract, to have a way to

relate, when all we have to give

is pain.
