The Have and Have Nots

-
If the have nots only want what the haves have in regards to material wealth, then nothing’s changed.

If the oppressed only want to be the oppressor then nothings changed.

If the haves won't share/give to the have nots then nothings changed.

There only so much to go around and too few have too much, many have what they don't need, and

too many want what can't be bought and can only be stolen.

When will it stop?

This merry go round of desperation and greed.

My only hope is that somewhere in the world/ a child has been born /who will never bend to old/ the forever disgraced/ the folly of youth/the superiority of race/division of gender/but rise up to face/ lead us into the future/ the reciprocity of equal/the sharing of freedom/the it person.

Sapiens, A Book

-
  Morality, right and wrong doesn’t have a chance anymore. Sapiens. The advance of sapiens through time has shown we have not only bartered away what we have made, believed, or borrowed from nature but we have frittered away the codes which we lived by. We’ve been boiled down and rendered (in fat) into whatever aggregation of moral codes, traditions, laws, rules, standards of whatever dominant society in which we live, none of which are much more than a generation old and none of which are so viable today that almost any advance of technological, scientific inventions and experiments won’t further degrade them, or at least, if degrade is too harsh a word, won’t further negatively change what has lasted to this point into mostly obsolete. When primitive people with limited technologies walked the earth, stone tools proved durable and worth the tedious but hard work put into creating them. On the other hand, iron and steel become rusty and useless in less than a lifetime. Trump...

The Futures Past

-
  (Excerpt from the Great American Killoff written in response to school massacre. Needless to say, America and Americans have blood on their hands. Why do we ignore that?) For example, in the sixties when Medgar Evers, Malcolm x, Martin Luther King, John Kennedy, Robert Kennedy were assassinated and the violent and illegal Cointelpro program was propagated against the black panthers, other black civil rights organizations, and anti-war groups whose members were jailed, scapegoated, and killed without regard to the normal justice system. In addition, the overthrow of democratically elected governments and foreign interventions by the US military contributed to the growing culture of anti-democratic principles abroad and the redefinition of human rights and egalitarian principals here at home. The assassinations were committed by elements not directly connected to the civil rights movement but these assassinations, disruptions and political corruptions were certainly involved i...

To SRW

-
(As I age, those I liked, ran with, respected, loved, felt responsible for start falling by the wayside throughout the decades and, eventually, die, evoking memories, sadness, and reflection. It turns out that retaining or maintaining relationships based on memory is impossible. The same is true of retaining and maintaining bad memories for the sake of reference merely keeps us from progressing. Because I am political, most of my relationships were enhanced by the politics of wherever we found ourselves. The following is one example of a relationship I had at one time in my life.) To SRW. I know, it didn't end well. It couldn't have ever ended any other way. In a way, we could say it didn't even start well, You pretty fresh from your marriage, And me still married, Later, you apologizing to my ex-wife when your consciousness was being raised, and mine was being erased. But still, even when the worst of times encircle the best of times, I think we changed each other, for be...

Coyote Thoughts (2025)

-
  Coyote Thoughts (I guess this is something I'll always be working on. The nonsense of Eternal Time in a World of Make-Believe Futures)   There is darkness, infinite, though death has overcome me, it does not destroy me, for i cannot be done with, only paralyzed, hugging the dirt, sand, and grit of the earth. Scorpions, beetles, snakes crawl on me, between my withered, sun hardened bones til i emerge with what once i tred upon, free, vowing He has not seen the last of me, subjected to His humiliation, His temporary superiority,   The Big Dilemma About Paradise The spirit world never knew about contradictions because up until the water experience It never had any reason to believe that there was a limit to its being. It had always been spirit and there was never anything else. Once it found water’s qualities conducive to expanding It’s experience it wanted more. The Big Contradiction though was that once part of the spirit world captured the physical world of water,...

A General Strike?

-
http://portside.org/2017-02-06/whose-strike THIS IS A GOOD PIECE,  A General Strike?  'GET SOBER FOLKS' . I'm interested in movement organizing strategy... lots of people discussing this topic right now.  If  the 9th Circuit does right, will Trump ignore the decision.....sort of Andy Jackson reborn from the Bank Fight and the Indian cases of the mid 1830s?   I watched the NPR show tonight on the Oklahoma bombing of 1995. Amazing how much force the cops used and the resources they had, which turned them all into boneheads on steroids who drove McVeigh nuts. 168 Dead! The way things are going, that Reichstag moment could come sooner than we may have anticipated.  Labor is too weak in numbers and political strength to lead the United Front, and the broader post Woman's March movement is too inchoate at this point to fully predict how it will emerge?  Yet, I'm optimistic.  I have visited or done a little work with a few different ...

More love, less anti-abortion, please

-
 Another anti-abortionist on the loose with a gun after shooting his enemies, proving once again that life ends, rather than begins, with conception, at the same time innocence does. The anti-abortionist philosophy breaks down after that into fragments of phony patriot, real racist, fake empathy regarding who outside of themselves is valuable, and which matters more, their belief that they represent their impotent god who, i think, once said, leave the fucking punishments to Me, and His son who said, love is better than anything else, or if not love, then, at least, compassion ( but leave the punishments to My Father). Or, in my words, quit forcing your own beliefs on anyone else. Don't say science proves conscious life begins at conception because the myth that mary conceived God's child. Believe what you want to believe but take your violence somewhere else, preferably home, wherever "heart" is. In an essay before this i said religion is behind what is wrong in the ...

Gods Little Jokes

-
Gods Little Jokes It's interesting that our president represents the real attitudes, beliefs, values of the American public. It seems a good rationale for understanding the misgivings of democrats and other liberals to do more than complain about real policies. In trumps recent meeting with several small African leaders his purpose seemed to be to trade "aid" for gold, minerals and any other attainable resources. He actually believes he is not just king of America but king of the world. To me that's what is so amazing. His revolution and believe me brothers and sisters it is a revolution in the making, and even if it never is completed, it will be generations before these values will even begin to disappear. As soon as America became nationalistic, which wasn't to hard to do since other nations have always grown more imperial rather than democratic over time as they became more "supremacist" in their promotion of their religions, races (ethnic makeup),...
