In the Land of Desperation and Lost Dreams

flag of injustice stands in sand

blind ostrich doesn’t see

cult universe manifests meanly

billionaire oligarchs pay to play

fifth degree initiate secret hiding

cockroach in catacomb of killing field

sexual assault victims dimly disappeared

mercifully murdered, made unreal

perverted pedophilic pleasure

smugly smiling arrogant pride

driving to cross-road of injustice

lucky one escapes to preview

message flapping in wind of change

symbol of petty grievance flying high

songful liberation ring notes nobody heard

in whose soul survival is non-existently free

proud to display personal deities

sort-counting skulls of death

mutilated mini-body burn buried deeply

beneath torture tombs of revenge

protected by silent arsenals

fans of reality simply entertained

vicariously derive joyful power high

mean-spirited arrogant boss cons

humiliate soulless sycophantism

creeping aloe vera collapsed today

stockholm syndrome has spoken

for Gayle

broken wheels……..that you’ll never steal…..
boulevards…..throw me down your cards…..
second chances…….fleeting glances…..
high on hopes…. but no one copes….
glaxony wine….  full of time….
second seconds….  second guessing….
beautiful bush…. krazy kush….
g to me…… heaven can see….
she unveils……that sacred sail….
down in Texas…… this isn’t sexist…
heart open wide…. let’s go inside….
out of time……she’s one of a kind……

Thank You John. May you soar with the Angels in eternity my Friend!

For Gayle-

Sand between our toes, we see sun-fire bring dawn-light from the Gulf.

You taste salt sea breeze from life’s Mother redolent with fresh life-smell.

But you are essence as much as the four.

We hear the oak leaves whisper prophesies.

But only you hear the words of them, though I own my soul as much as you yours.

The Norther blows its purple-black sky-bruise, laced with lightning, spreading toward us.

The wheat-waves dance in time to the wind-chimes.

The Scots piper purs his second wind into his pipe-bag.

Another breath winds through a French horn, as a free breeze blows straight across Aeolian pipes, then rising wind moves limbs as well as leaves.

The hurricane blows rain straight level, mixed with paper, leaves, and food-scraps.

Then cyclones add walls and roofs, and cars.

As your breath voiced sweeps clear man’s trashing, it is not chance your name is Gale

Done too Soon is not Wise nor Responsible

Nobody should be sending people to the moon nor anywhere else in space until we have cleaned up the messes we’ve made on this planet, learned how to get along with each other, ended all war, and there is a viable plan in place for how we will get all the spent rocket metal, fuel and other space debris out of the atmosphere so airplanes and birds won’t have to dodge that crap, it won’t fall on the earth, nor remain in orbit eternally polluting the sky.

The “buffalo hunter takes an expensive vacation pleasure trip” attitude is not the right attitude for flying to the moon and beyond. Something tells me the universe isn’t going to tolerate a “here today gone tomorrow, let those left behind deal with cleaning up the mess we’ve made” attitude if it starts venturing too far from humanities earthly play pen. When are we going to stop waving a red flag at the rest of the universe to beware of our existence? When are we going to stop killing extra terrestrial visitors and attempting to steal their technology?

It should be obvious to anybody who has ever experienced “download technology” or had ideas that seemed to have been placed into their brains telepathically, that using the information wisely and responsibly for the good of all is the only way to keep advancing. It’s spring. The birds are singing. “Wake up yourself!” Do you hear them? They know. They know. They know. Listen to them!

IMHO we should not allow them to spend another thin dime of our tax payer money for space travel until ALL the pollution has been cleaned up, energy is free, water is clean, the animals are thriving and healthy, the cruelty of factory farming has been eliminated, the earth has stopped trying to shake us off like a wet dog shaking off fleas, the trees have been allowed to grow tall again instead of being treated like crops, every single person on the planet has a comfortable safe home to live in, there is no more war, health care is universally available, and everybody knows the value and importance of empathy because they have experienced it.
