UNTITLED #1

UNTITLED #1

All day long we use words
permeated, enveloped, castrated by words
prisoned, pained, pining for rest, for comfort
yet decay sets in, sits us down, holds us
smothers us and yes, finally we move no more

restored and reborn and reawakened and
to eternal life
really, the same life we thought was lost
and really not any more blissful than
that one or that one or
that other one that we once
even envied

see it now for what it is
just illusion piled on top of illusion
with a foundation flimsy, foolish,
of metaphor
nothing under that,
nothing, unless you think
nothing is something

knowing or pretending or at least
knowing you don't know and finding
a foundation of ignorance is
a comfort

humbled at last and able to
see truth at last of thrills
without seeking them, just
pouring like rain like tears like love
like god

belief

the world cannot get better because it is already perfect

Government

government turns out
to be
an association
of PSYCHOPATHS

each one has their own agenda

self-glorification
status
money
power for its own sake

and also there are the true believers
the fanatics
who believe that the population needs to be controlled
and they are the best person to do the controlling

so what can we do?

LET THEM PLAY THEIR GAMES

and stay out of it as much as possible

Talking

a lot of people
have figured out
how to make a living

from

talking

We Should Be Friends With Russia

it is time to forgive and forget and realize that Russia is our friend
it looks like we still automatically take the opposite side on issues
just like our Republicans and Democrats automatically disagree

this is silly
and irrational
and causes a lot of trouble

first look for agreement
and second look for agreement
and third look for common ground

we should be friends with Russia
and China
AND EVERYBODY
