[whoops, what began as a 4 line reply mused-on into verbosity….]
Love will prevail.
I’ve always wanted to believe that, Brad, …but I just don’t know anymore.
Even as a father of two inspired sons…who have hopes & dreams…and
the ability to make a noise of their own and [eventually] procreate and
bring-up or fck-up some young minds of their own flesh & blood. With
the humanity trend heading the way is has been, by way of the ruthless
corporate-govt. paradigm and the population multiplying by frightening
leaps, …all those happenin notions around a good fire have begun to look
like bygones bygone. & the harsh reality of a world too big for it’s britches,
having given-in to …so-called civilizations who have forgotten more ways to
kill their fellowman than most of us have even thought about or read about or
written macabre thriller scenes about to pass the time on rainy days at home.
This paradigm of petrol-clear vitriol and insanity with impunity is so
dark a poetic nightmare…that one is left with only distraction as
an ally: The distractions of work & play & informal rhetoric.
In a couple threads north of this, the video is that of
people being set-up to fall before the camera as
idiots ~~ deer in the headlights more like it
~~ in a tragic comedy. Herring read it
right, IMHO, but the fact remains
that we see the connection to
our America & stupidity
because we had our
beloved mama
democracy
stolen in
one fell
swoop
by wily
people w/
a stupid face
out front to field
the vitriol and agitate
the nerve ends to no end,
to reign fuel on the fires of commotion…
…
that keeps any one group of us from effecting a change in a far more logical direction.
A direction that may not make millionaires into billionaires and billionaires into gods,
but might free the best notions of benevolent society to lead this experiment into grace.
& if not grace, perhaps at least a balanced enough ball field wherein every person can
prosper by way of their own means…wile the rich remain rich and the middle...middle.
& the poor who need a leg-up can have one & not the bread line American Style FUD
generated YOU TOO can be a CARDCARYING MEMBER of foodSTAMP Luv, Inc.
But as one pertinent & wholly enigmatic songwriter from L.A. once said, ...I rephrase,
This population boom just might prove to be our insurmountable downfall or our folly.
Ice-nine was Vonnegut’s cure, as he lay on his back & thumb his nose at thee original
sinner. …Something tells me destruction is prevailing because nature is…egging it on.
The nature of set-it-up-&-knock-it-down man. …The nature of … Grand Poobah man.
The nature of sea & moon in the midst of grandiose & needful…resource mining man.
I’m using my A/C because it’s so hot & humid outside tonight. I’m just another enabler
without a plan to construct a small green-friendly solar energy manufacturing facility.
So I can piss-&-moan as good as the next guy … but I’m too caught-up in day-to-day
jive & journalism and garbage-in-garbage-out & granfalloon in one Poor-Town, USA,
to help figure-out a way to restore democracy’s liberty and justice for all to my people.
& who are my people? Those oppressed who journeyed here...or those aboriginals
here for a long time before the bosses of the itinerant-oppressed conquered them?
…
Every last one of us found our peephole opened unto this catastrophe, & without appeal. So if what’s done well is done one on one…because everything national is built up only to be knocked back down, then what’s happening beside you is what will save our lives. However, everything heavy is easily smashed, maligned or one-linered by critique, ...or killed in th line of duty by soldiers of ‘justice’ or harbingers of abacus logic personified. Sum o th best acts n most vital things ever written hav been overshadowed by mediocrity, mediocrity completely accepted as go-with-the-flow status quo between bloodied hands
…& other esoteric bullshit….
[u tell me, coherent citizenry, how could the EV-1 have damaged our country?]
