Poetry

As the middle aged man with no hair sits at his computer listening to poems he recorded with good musicians…he screams but his lyrics are fine…and the songs could be used…

Worse crimes are being committed to ensure wealth in the first world….                      people are working very hard in poor countries so we can live good lives here…or young girls are being sold into prostitution…or drones are shooting old men in Pakistan 

we all know…

evolutionists will argue these steps are required and a solution will be found

people have endlessly created problems then solved them…they point to advances we’ve made in science and technology…like putting a man on the moon…

Why feed people with no money                                                                                                                                       when we can feed fat people with money…? 

your lover will be found on the internet and already your guilt has been commodified

I read the NY Times and a 32 year old trader in commodities buys a condo for 1.6 million and spends another million renovating it…on Sundays he watches football on his big screen TV…his girlfriend says he can relax and even cooks…his living is big enough to play fetch with his dog…

am I suppose to be happy for him…?

This is not unusual in New York and would not even be considered excessive.

No one is shocked or surprised….while half the world goes hungry or cannot even get fresh drinking water

or 700,000 people are homeless in America and 18 million homes are empty. ..

celebrity and spectacle…gold rules..

From Derrick Jensens book “The Culture of Make Belief” page seven.

The Night Riders a KKK’s nineteenth-century incarnation would visit the homes of black people with the intent of, among many other things, terrorizing them into not using their recently gained right to vote.

And given the rates with blacks, Latinos, and American Indians, are imprisoned and on death row, it could be argued that a good part of the the judicial and penal systems in the United States constitutes a giant racist, terrorist organization. Simply looking at the numbers it becomes clear that judicial and penal systems have achieved the segregation of black males into prison on a scale of which the KKK and their puny brethren could only dream.

In 1980 approximately 500,000 people in the US were incarcerated and by 2006 it was well over two million…

if you include the number of people on parole, awaiting trial or on probation the number skyrockets to over seven million or just over three percent of the adult population…

70% of prisoners are, as the government says, non white…                                      almost all will be poor.

The current US incarceration rate is just below 800 people per 100,000 which is comparable with the Soviet Union’s level prior to World War Two (1.2 to 1.5 million people were in the Gulag prison camps and colonies) 

US Numbers? or (are they people?) in state, federal or local jails,

Males

Total           2,096,300

White          693,800

Black          841,000

Hispanic       442,000

Females

Total 201,200

White 92,100

Black 64,800

Hispanic 32,300

We can thank the war on drugs for the fourfold increase since 1980…as the percentage of violent crimes as been flat…

I’m glad the Gipper is dead…union busting brain dead B actor…

I remember the sun hot on my back and the towels we used were rags…

Harper keep your hands off my weed and don’t you dare criminalize it…otherwise we’re all going to get active…

Stock well day.

Victoria Day

being rich gives one the luxury                                            028               of the future                                                                                                            as the immediate

is well financed…

 

TOO A POINT…

                                                                                              

we live forever …no afterlife                                                                                                                 improving forever,                                  

we pretend it will last forever…it’s better with age

the decades tick by and we are stunned                033                                                                    by the passage of time and our impending demise

blips on a screen

oh yes lovely death  

the unborn                                                                                                                  the undead 

cannot attest to eternity      

stress levels are up                                                                                                  worrying ages                                                                                                      the heartiest of souls

ethereal realities                                                                                                     while a billion 

grind in poverty.   china 3 033
