You watch a TV documentary, credible, you learn something…

You think you *know*

but what you know is a version,

the vision & sound allowed to you

by those who control

the dissemination of information.

Be assured, whatever the topic,

it suits someone’s agenda.

State Terrorism 101

Waiting in line to be frisked, told to take my shoes off, or more.

I wait and watch.

I shake my head at the extravagance, expense and tediousness of the security measures.

Wow, welcome to the “Land of the Free”!

How did it get to be this way?

Oh, terrorism, they say.

(Boston strong and secure… or something similar…)

Yes, terrorism, I reflect, and the pieces come together

as I realize that all of this suits the state’s agenda:

power and control,

over you and me, everyday people, our souls…

they don’t care about our safety (they’d send us to war & death in a flash!)…

They only care about power and control.

And the terrorism thing is the perfect cover for them to exert over-the-top measures, to monitor and control

you, me, us.

And we let them.

Fear and bullshit rules.

I take off my shoes and do as I’m told.

(To such a state of excellence we have evolved!)

Everything Is Relative (aka: Are You My Relative Too?)

Regardless of what your American relatives tell you,

everything, indeed, is relative:

truth, justice and the American way,

is truth, lies and compromise.

…

The answer to the question depends upon time, place

and who is doing the asking.

…

Objectivity is admirable but, alas, illusive,

and screw liberal “New York Times” hubris.

Everything is

what the powers that be

want it to be.

Progressive/Regressive… (aka: A Treatise On the Relativity of Time and Human “Progress”)

Today, I realized that my clock is running slow.

Which is to say, my clock has been progressively slowing over time.

Losing seconds, minutes, “life”.

In effect, my clock has been regressing, whilst progressing.

Indeed, ipso facto, as such,

I am reminded, on so many levels, how

the supposedly “progressive” in actuality,

for the balance of humanity,

is regressive.

A Modicum Of Privacy

Friends, enemies,

I don’t care what they think of me,

so long as they’re wrong.

Lady Liberty Speaks

I’m not envious of your success,

your riches are an irrelevance,

your existence meaningless.

I hate you

and your ease of being,

nonetheless,

I don’t want your things.

Relent, Walk Away, Screw The Powers That Be…

Under siege from every angle,

*they* demand constant fight.

I revolt

by giving up,

moving to another realm…

The Government Wants To Execute You!

The government wants to execute you!

But their heart isn’t in it,

fully,

otherwise it would already be done.

The pretence of justice,

trial and jury,

would be dispensed,

abiding by convictions,

the system would do as expected,

and you would be shot.

But instead you are hung

and left hanging,

in limbo,

in hell.

…

Often, you wish they would shoot you,

like a dog,

just get it over with,

but society cares more about dogs

than people.

…

Uncertain fate,

neverending circle of hate.

Inside, torment

is never dormant.

…

Yes, they have decided to torture you

in the way that only life and living

can do.

…

The government wants you

to execute yourself.

Murder Misunderstood

They charged,

judged

and sentenced me:

a murderer.

One of the worst

of all criminals.

But, I retorted,

I killed for a *good* reason.

Unlike the millions of anonymous souls slaughtered

in infinite imperialist wars through the centuries.

Murder, sanctioned by the state,

powers that be,

alas,

*they* give you a medal for,

acts of heroism,

grotesque debauchery.

En Grève

And so, I withdraw.

However much it hurts me,

it hurts you way more.
