I Go Along With It
I go along with it so I can get along
of course I know everything is screwy
who couldn't see all the wrong going on
in this beautiful world that should not
be happening it is truly unbelievable
everything is all screwed up and it took
a long time to get there but my problems
are my problem I have to get by myself
in this world I can't fight nobody over it
that would only make it be worse on me
therefore I have to say hell with it and go
out and make my own way

This New Day is the Next Step in Our Journey
There are no fence sitters where Donald Trump is concerned
And his effect on America and its populace has been biblical
Picture Jesus with Lazarus
However, just as in John 11:39, after so much time in the tomb; "Lazarus" surely stinketh
America,
now alive like no time other than its genesis,
or a major war,
Has spoken
Joe Biden is now President
Awaken!!
Arise!!
Lazarus!! Come forth!!
"The Donald" is gone
Joe Biden has arrived
Once Again
A history maker
First elected to the Senate...

Laziness
From sky, to hillside, to lowland rivers- water moves lazily.
The path of least resistance by which electricity travels.
Even in life itself, the most adept use the least effort
based on a superior, and therefore easier, ability to survive.
Laziness. Humans roaming in tribes had more leisure time
than us right now.
Self-sufficiency is no longer taught nor commonly possible.
We require these systems which take advantage of us to survive
because we have no choice.
Collectively we could make it easier on ourselves.
Sadly some cling to old ways...

Hood Politics
I make power moves you on a power trip
A couple thousand in a hour thats a power flip
You disconnected from the streets get your router fixed
I blow a pound of piff til Im surrounded by a cloud of mist
I dont chase nothing but the paper trust me though
Sitting in a foreign on some twentys feeling lovely though
Been around the world 2 times hit a few dimes
Right in front the waiter poolside I am 2 fly
Got drip for sale I am busy running numbers up
I will never fail If you think I will then good luck

two short extemporaneous poetry.. of these hard~ heavy 'kaliyug' times
1.
:: impervious... ::
...she’s now .
to nature. Its light & love
the benumbing cancers gang her up
to a mere skeletal eaten up caricature
& yet to a massive ticking distortional mess…
the slightest of incitement to explode...
are these stigmatic quarantining- the
obligately insane... staring forever..
their rock-hardened cold eyes-
unknown to lukewarm tears... of
an overbrimming love... & mercy..
-that are...

Trampled Freedom (NoPoo 73)
The word
Is freedom
We hear it
All the time
But it dont mean
A whole lot
While being trampled
By the mob
Souls of patriots
Tainted
By the right to demonstrate
The resurrection
Of histories inserrection
Its not communism
Taking over
Just gun toting facists
Demoracy
Is just a declaration
On an old parchment
Twitter feeds
Are the modern day
Constitutional truths
Fuelling gangs
Of conspiracy theorists...

Winning Elections 101.1
He promised to build a wall
filtering out the average Illegal Alien
---insisted Mexico would be the nation
financing its construction to completion;
this also excited every White American
who rejoiced in not having to live in
close proximity with any more
Brown People
Flocking to their new Shepherd---
Racist Sheeple, Sheeple, Sheeple

Religious Exemption
should religious freedom
be equal to one’s
freedom from religion?
should government give privileges to
religious organizations that are denied to nonreligious citizens
who contribute taxes for the common cause?
(taxes that provide roads dams bridges
defense police fire and health services)
should religious
organizations be exempt from taxes
that provide benefits to them?
why should seculars provide
benefits
to the religious exempt?
should the religious exempt
be exempt from the benefits ...

The World You Want To Own
Alone, on an island, in the middle of the sea
Not a soul around, only person here is me
The world is strange, had to get away
People bullying everyone, just to get their way
You want a nation of people who think just like you?
Toting a Bible, wrapped in red, white, and blue
You want a nation we left in 1955
Before most our nation's citizen were alive
You want subservient women who know their place
And people of color that know their race
Facts and science just get in the way
Ancient dogma is where you want to play ...

Pretty Little Box
why is everyone
so wrapped up
in pink and blue boxes?
walking around with fake smiles
they're bionic
pre-programmed with what to do and say
complementing one another
though they don't even like each other
staying in relationships
having partners they don't really know
and baking cookies
for kids
they never really wanted
I see that invisible tear
through a phony baloney expression
guess I get it
can't turn back time
to when the condom broke
I'm built differently though
maybe too...
