Wednesday

The grey clouds overwhelm      i do not belong there or here

the world is out of sorts…the cruelty of humans is consistent

…and this is what makes a life, a life

many many days of pain

made worse from exaggerating

no one can escape…

as the new country song goes

a 100 years ain’t as long as it use to be…

 

we have advanced technically

more in the last 100 years

than the rest of time

fueled by capitalism

and competition

which has become unhealthy

for the biodiversity of the planet…

by making the earth safer

we have eliminated

much of her beauty

the thin world of creativity

*****************

we are still inexplicably cruel

and are willing

to witness

the impoverished

at their expense

like the

gentry of the old south

talking about freedom of movement

as the black servants scuttle about

 

we do not need theories about why

we are willing to overlook social justice

but the academics believe

by exposing the problem

then it is possible to solve it…

so they write books

about the “The Occupied Lands” 

 

superiority issues

pyscho-analyze

and export the problem

of poverty and pollution

while continuing to write books

 

the current economic system

can only function with a debt

it can never repay…

 

Bill and Melinda Gates

Foundation is not a charity

but in fact is a

propaganda arm for capitalism

as they team with the

Bankable Frontiers people

to get everyone a

account and credit cards,

mortgages and debt

they believe that everyone

should have identity cards …

we have facebook…

be seen

be counted,

be noticed

be the change you want

to see in the world

are jingoisms

  (of capitalism…)

 

Sarte said                          at the turn of the century

it is has changed from “others” to “self”

in a barrage of rights cloaked in an

ever improving standard of living

by feasting on the poor

 

reports 

 

how sad we are

how hungry they are

 

as in depression,

obesity and incarceration

 

as in poverty,

pollution and police states            

 

as in games

more sedentary and more violent

 

as in bad music

misplaced rhymes and self congratulatory

 

as in drones

murdering

from a high

 

shooting someone

from a chair in Nevada

does not have the same

visceral experience

as seeing the whites

in their eyes…screens

are not immediate.

 

 

quality  

the Ticos would call the fat man gorko

because he was fat…no because really

the intellectual liberals will say this

is a case of language…

symbols have become the end of all

we believe spiritual practice and compound interest

are operating from similar principles…

 

yes a struggle for life…

was against nature

now against man

as his greed

ensures inequality,

violence and depletion

 

(Why did god allows us to advance rapidly

if he did not know what he was doing?) 

 

In the long long term the sun explodes and we all die…

what if we live to be 200? same thing just longer
