still, i rise

Country politics

Politics as usual

politics and parlor tricks

Gerrymandered and grand standing

back and forth insults

constituents charged the dime

every time delivering a cut

to waiting special interest groups

feeding frenzy of madness, 

with budget cuts to the poor and needy

more pork for the greedy

subjective, objective

predispositions, stated case

relevance, common sense

personal opinions over facts

now devolved to slander 

outright lies and personal attacks

hold on! let's give every dog a bone

lets take this all in stride...

take a recess from this mess

get this good food on this table blessed

i want to engage ...

Beat your drum

Veterans drum circle

common thoughts 

sometimes 

differences

immaterial matters

built upon shades 

of individual inflection points 

perspectives 

which provide hidden gifts

smashing myths

as revelations carry

characteristics of change

to each point on the graph 

of potential inputs to the equation

for the calculus to run

of the possible conclusions

your ignorance will be televised

no more revolution required

stone age mindset

rated in fear 

centered on rage

taking center stage

here comes the upgrade

A day at the office

Snappy new suit

Android named Sam comes on

we jump in 30 seconds

a conveyer belt

pop... the jet starts to shake

beginning to disintegrate

to smoke and dust

Head for the door

Reciprocal

Machine guns 

blaze away 

breaking the silence

Interrupting 

peace and tranquility

With hatred and violence. 

After the smoke and dust Settle

Those soldiers not killed or maimed 

lost their sanity, 

others had their humanity deranged

Loose packs of the heartless, 

Murders, and thieves

Calling themselves Patriots. 

Whatever that means

The Calling

Shake a leg. get busy

time to get your A* Up

lazy means dead to life

very unwise at this time

Get Up! Sons and daughters

Rise, witness this

in the full terrible glory

a humble man once said

love is the answer

you criticized him

Sorry, your loss...

man or woman

don't hesitate. 

don't procrastinate

Hell is opening its gates

no time to waste

another wave of needless confrontation

Mind lock

Some days seem short and sweet

others draw on and on

where it goes on forever 

no one seems to smile

just shuffle their feet 

lower their heads and plow on

politicians still trying hard

getting nothing interesting done

All the while 

robbing us blind

stop the world 

i want to get off

thinking out loud music in my head, 

Jimi Hendrix, 1983 a merman i should be

i was having a quiet moment to myself

taking a walk to nowhere

had no particular destination 

in mind, just walking to sort things out

just thought... i'd know it 

when i got there

had a fairly usual day

talked to one of my brothers

Clown Planet

Seems like a shadow is falling
all over the earth

America has been top on the world
doing better than alright

after the ravaging over the planet
of two world wars

Hitler had his blitzkrieg
Americas got its total war

Holy s-Krieg, with star wars,
iron dome, AI, drone swarm

January 6, was just a dress rehearsal
for the master switch being pulled

initiating the cascade, chain-reaction
for the reversal of democracy

the mission cog, was put on place
programmed by Putin himself

wish it could be said
of sound mind and good health

perhaps a token of the man
in the mirror of the 2025 plan


in a show of hands, fing...

Love knots

You have an honest face,

a soft smile a good heart

its morning a great time for us all

to be thankful, to reflect upon 

 what we have been gifted with

start fresh, counting blessings

 all over again

from nothing but love and the gift of life

taking times we have been hurt in stride

counting them twice

once for the opportunity to receive

a different blessing with understanding

time is short. we have work to do

a fresh start to stop wasting our time

and move on to a different lesson

to see everyone the same 
then let them be revealed in time ,

for who they are to us, 
and what they truly represent

Burnout!

information age ambivalence
provides tidal waves of distraction

entertainment choices expanding 
demanding time, drawing energy

personal cues, rub Aladdin's lamp  
to combat the blues

to initiate a sleeping beast
AI does the rest

the job requires a recall for emergencies
everybody is on call 24-7. 

Please! Let me be
i want to be free

most people view life
to be about self-satisfaction

but now we have lost democracy
found a neurotic despotic, fool

birthed the greatest kleptocracy
the world has ever known

day after day
we get hammered 

by news of governmental power 
being abused

getting yet another dose 
of a 2025 plan 

to take ...America back
to stone age want to be's

Where might makes right

Zoo be do (do it again)

Listing my sins?
where do i begin.

i have failed head of class
so badly i've mistaken

what the hell i'm doing here
rather than awakening

i've fallen asleep
and spilled my beer

repeatedly

well if that's not a sin
forgive me, it should be

ear to ground the movement felt,
low frequency channel open up.

i tap in to elephant frequencies
for some lucky placoderm

to get a chance with a sassy lass
let's get that man a dance
 
and whale songs travelling afar
separate the newbie's from the stars

as if ...
