1999, the birth of the modern hipster
The hipster of the 21st century are a subculture of people who are already dominant.
They are not your underdogs carving out a place to breathe freely.
The modern day hipster aligns himself or herself with rebel subculture and with the dominant class.
Thus, the rebel consumer, who rebels against nothing.
The artist who creates no art.
The hipsters who flooded Brooklyn and the entire Western World in the 2000's might look like Bohemians, but they are not.
They are not anti-authoritarian, like other youth subcultures through history. They drink the Kool-Aid...

CHILDREN'S IN THE SAND BOX
Let's talk about the people in CONGRESS, and have a REAL serious conversation on WHY DO THOSE. That WHO WE OF SOCIETY APPOINTED AS THE PEOPLE, THAT IS SUPPOSE TO BE HERE TO REPRESENT THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD. AS THEY SPEND MORE TIME IN THE CHAMBER ROOM ARGUING, AMONGST EACH OTHER AND THEMSELVES, JUST GOING BACK AND FOURTH. YET STILL CAN'T COME TO A REAL, SOLUTION to fix the damn problem. FOR THE TRUE BETTERMENT OF THE WORLD AND IT'S PEOPLE'S.🌍 FOR it reminds me of CHILDRENS playing in the SAND BOX, to see who goes first to play in the sand, or who shall ride the swings on the swing bar...

Goddess on the Hunt
Never cross a deity
Never tempt one into ire
For there will be consequences
Don’t get caught in their temper’s fire
It is said that when Zeus’ headache was so severe
He received a blow from an axe right to the head
And out sprang Athena, beautiful and fully grown
In body armor and a spear, ready – forging ahead
Goddess on the Hunt
Goddess of wisdom
So beautiful and strong
Virgin and pure
Chaste and secure
Of the judgment she casts upon
She turned Medusa into a monster
Arachne into a spider
Never...
Never tempt one into ire
For there will be consequences
Don’t get caught in their temper’s fire
It is said that when Zeus’ headache was so severe
He received a blow from an axe right to the head
And out sprang Athena, beautiful and fully grown
In body armor and a spear, ready – forging ahead
Goddess on the Hunt
Goddess of wisdom
So beautiful and strong
Virgin and pure
Chaste and secure
Of the judgment she casts upon
She turned Medusa into a monster
Arachne into a spider
Never...

THE TRAP OF CATEGORIZING
Our day-to-day existence
is continually being
bombarded with efforts
to categorize everything
from A to Z and beyond.
This is especially true
when it comes to we humans.
In our minds, we practice
analyst management:
We categorize by gender,
height, weight, looks, gay, straight,
performance, education, religion,
ethnicity, morality, values,
tastes, talent, etc., etc.
Yes, perhaps in some disciplines
such as science and medicine
category analyst is essential.
But for me, and speaking
only for me,...

~amidst all conflicts chaos n diversities, we are ONE
history belongs to its geography”.. i quote
from an awakening piece of a lil well made
docu .. yes, your
robbing away of this place, you keep ever
going on your serial killer spree & a bloody
boring insipidities of your violent stupidities..
open your eyes at least now..
the dna’s of the anciently endowed
sacredness & peace in here.. lapping
in the centred sanctum sanctorum .. are
agelessly infused in the dancing...

Fernweh
We have not forgotten"
Our promised return—
eternal recurrence: fernweh
this longed-for place
of gravitational deliverance
within each Soul's desire
for Source Energy
Spiritual evolution spiraling
through lifetimes, emerging
true colors arising
from an infinite storm of beauty—
Empathy, Compassion, Joy
worldly respect, elemental care:
Earth, Water, Fire, Air—
transcendent interconnectedness
attaining perfect balance:
...

Flags
I see an American flag
and I cringe
An Israeli flag
and I cringe
A British flag
and I cringe
An Australian flag
and I cringe
A Hezbollah, Hamas, Russian flag.
What's the bloody difference.
Flags assist and exist in keeping us all seperate.To reinforce a uniqueness when in fact there are none.Arbitray borders, placed on a map by the powerful,the vengeful,the greedy define nations and the people who live there in.
Burn the flags
Erase the borders
Allow human capital to move around the world as easily as money does. ...

Myth Haikus
Thoth
Scroll of stars unfolds,
wisdom flows through measured time.
Eye records it all.
Gilgamesh
Walls rise to the sky,
friendship forged, yet doomed to fade.
Mortals seek their name.
Tupă
Thunder splits the night,
roaring whispers through the storm.
Creation takes breath.
Amaterazu
Hidden in her cave,
sunlight fades, the world grows cold.
Hope draws her to dance.
Shango
Drums thunder the sky,
lightning splits the heavens wide. ...

Say Girl!
When I flirt, I just get a little too close.
Stare from a distance.
Never take you home.
There's no real conversation.
I'd rather see you alone.
Ill pretend like I'm interested,
But never message your phone.
I guess it makes sense,
Why i never get to bone.
Real guys get your number,
And make you moan.
Then I realize,
That is all you've known.
It's hard to investigate,
When my cover is already blown.
Stare from a distance.
Never take you home.
There's no real conversation.
I'd rather see you alone.
Ill pretend like I'm interested,
But never message your phone.
I guess it makes sense,
Why i never get to bone.
Real guys get your number,
And make you moan.
Then I realize,
That is all you've known.
It's hard to investigate,
When my cover is already blown.

Liabilities
Bill Burr has billionaires dead to rights, because of eminent domain logic.
Is not justifiable homicide, justifiable, because of the ascertained risk to the community?
-The Midnight Sonneteer
“The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one.”
-Surak of Vulcan
