Change the channel.
I should have paid more attention to that t-shirt I used to wear.
'kill your television' on the front.
Damn
I should have paid more attention.
T-shirts talk you know!

a real honest conversation....
the idea of.... everlasting peace.... time being nothing more than a concept.... knowing.... what it feels to be "loved" truly, deeply, intimately, reciprocation on both sides with ease....
when nothing feels like a sacrifice.... where on "earth" could that be? it's unusually beyond belief.... ego always leads....
"love yourself...." , "they say"; i mean-after all-alone you were conceived- and alone you will decease.... what else do people say? "nothing worth having comes easy...." ...

Fraternal Orders
Hoping you will have knee-jerk reactions
these days they call everyone a Marxist
catering to their hate satisfactions
based on the political lessons they missed
or quite wilfully don't want you to know
in looming fights for re-enfranchisement
to the civil rights that you just let go
because of fake fraternal despisement
which MAGA voters cravenly allowed
when mass hysteria was their rumor
shaped so well by the loud for the proud
akin to brains sheltering a tumour
blocking access to any Marxist thought...

Constrained
Release me from these shackles,
I don't need to be contained,
away from the guilt of it,
I don't need to be constrained.
Release me from the burdens,
Release me from all Fears,
Release me from these Hardships,
That I have dealth with for so many years.
Release me from Constraints of sorrow,
of shedding so many Tears,
Wishing that someone would save me,
Wishing that help was near.
Release me from Trail and error,
Release me from all doubts,
Loose me from the thought of thinking,
If the fact that...
I don't need to be contained,
away from the guilt of it,
I don't need to be constrained.
Release me from the burdens,
Release me from all Fears,
Release me from these Hardships,
That I have dealth with for so many years.
Release me from Constraints of sorrow,
of shedding so many Tears,
Wishing that someone would save me,
Wishing that help was near.

No Gods, No Masters
Into the mouth of war
Break through the walls of shadow
From the fires we will rise
Silence the ones who hide
We are the faithless! We are those who stay, nameless!
Into the gates of blackness
Now the pain is rising
Tortured, hallowed in hate!
We stand alone
Into the graves of eternity
This world fills with hate
Slowly we make our ways
The time has begun
Consumed by greed and anger
Now the time is near
Callused are the minds of the world
We hide ourselves
Consumed by fear and secrets

Everythings Fine
There are bigger things to worry about than politics or the death of democracy.
Worry about the death of kindness.
Worry about the death of compassion.
Worry about the death of decency.
Worry about the death of yourself.
Or
Don't worry at all.
Look up to the sky
Be amazed and cry.
Isn't that all we've ever wanted
To be amazed.
Worry about the death of kindness.
Worry about the death of compassion.
Worry about the death of decency.
Worry about the death of yourself.
Or
Don't worry at all.
Look up to the sky
Be amazed and cry.
Isn't that all we've ever wanted
To be amazed.

Landscape with Fall of Democracy
If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher.
As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.”
- Abraham Lincoln
SHAMERICA YOU CHARLATAN, YOU RUBE,
When it comes time to write
Your fall, let it be said
You leapt giddily off the edge, and took bodily the rest,
For reasons lost to sense,
Like lemmings trailing blindly
The worst among us all.
But...
As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.”

How I Feel About This Year's Election
I should have
known that it was a bad
idea to vote for who should be
our next president. At least, our soon to be former
vice president was unable to do
any crimes against her
own country.

ejected tape in DVD and stream era
Death.... Life.... one's somewhere in between; when it rains it pours, the words distort and the ink on paper bleeds; life's much like the Olympics- required to master the balance beam; I'd always automatically choose the junk food and ice cream
I'd rather die inside my sleep while dreaming blissful dreams- than waking up in this limbo land that they call "reality "

collage of dreams
half & half- lemonade-iced tea; roaming one plane of existence but yet so many- it's fair to say one believes that one's wide eyed while at the same time in a deep sleep-
where one is- versus where one really wants or feels one's being needs to be-(which would be finally on a "fixed" plane as opposed to knee deep in a collage of many dreams-
dreams- like a script before one ever made the scene- one's got a suit one wants returned but it came with no receipt-
