Politics for Poets

Riots are not protest

Riots are about revenge and theiving. It has nothing to do with race or equality. It has to do with right and wrong. There is no cause that justifies burning down businesses.

Poverty is not just a low income thing. It is a point of view. When you burn down a building you are a criminal. Using a verdict or a jury decision as an excuse does not absolve one of culpability.

For people who rule of law doesn't matter, and who scoff at juries, do you think that the way of the torch is better? What you do will be done to you. So if you are not peaceful then you get what you get. Stop listening to aggitators, safe within their offices. Go home and go to bed. Anger is never a justification for vandalism and arson.

You are not a 'protestor' when you are smashing windows. You are a rioter.

Making Furniture
It's a series of cuts,
just a small series of cuts
but if you do them precisely
all the pieces will fit together nicely
and you will have a steller cabinet.



 !! 
Not to dwell 
on the pain 
of the many meannesses frees us 
   !! 


 Catch the view.
  That the room has
such a view!
 
Far away hills,
  clouds rushing along,
     distant migrations.
 productive factory
        counting on success
     pretty even in the rain.

no omen
     
    just a plastic
      crow
    from the neighbors
     halloween yard
     not a real crow
        not a real dead crow
    
   

?

Looting and rioting is not protest.
arson is not a statement about race.
burning cars is not politics.

elections come and go. Good ideas are never fly-by-night. What's the rush?

every body thinks they
know some part of the
big secret thing
always another staircase
to climb
inside at the secret office
where the meals are planned

Everyone needs to eat.

Veterans deserve
your prayers.

Are you afraid
of the morphing pages?
Take stock now
tomorrow it will all be worthless.
Manna from heaven is only good on the day it's made.

when the icon changes to a plus sign that
means we want you to click:

This is the terse idiom. It doesn't load till you click. 
Blogsnotter doesn't mind this.

how hard is it to use these new symbols in your stuff? Well, first you need to know that they exist. Second, you can just cut and paste them.

🌀 🌁 🌂 🌃 🌄 🌅 🌆 🌇 🌈 🌉 🌊 🌋 🌌 🌍 🌎 🌏 🌐 🌑 🌒 🌓 🌔 🌕 🌖 🌗 🌘 🌙 🌚 🌛 🌜 🌝 🌞 🌟 🌠

I've got a message for . . . Mr Bash (an alias for someone else). Mr Bash, if I use brace expansion with the dot-dot idiom, ie like this:

echo -e {🌃..🌅}{🌍..🌏}{🌑..🌚}" "

why does that not work when

echo -e {🌃,🌄,🌅}{🌍,🌎,🌏}{🌑,🌒,🌓,🌔,🌕,🌖,🌗,🌘,🌙,🌚}" "

will? Maybe I've not ordered the elements properly. Well that little snippit doesn't work that well but t

forgive please
all the delusion
undeluge
undeluded


reverse the flood
and undelude.

undeluge your delusions of fairness.
Your delusions about fairness
are really quite unfair.
Your ideas for solution
are in need of repair.
Don't go off on a long haul
without first checking out the rig.
You can't tell a farmer it's hog if it's just a pig.



I'd like to change the world but I don't
have a diaper that's big enough.

The following poem is fresh, whipped up, off the cuff.

  
 
when you burn down your own town
why do you think 
we will want to hang around?
When you burn
burn down your town?

He thinks he saving the world
But he's just counting carbon.
He says there loosing their minds
but they just disagree with him.

Politics isn't about vanquishing.
People don't vote to be exterminated.
One person is never the king anymore.
The delusion of the institution isn't the public's delusion.
We ignore the insane edicts and hope to stay off the radar.

But what if they get ansy?
They expect some giant change,
like rolling back the ocean.
But when the ocean rolls back
there is going to a big wave
and if they don't catch it
and ride it where it takes them
they will be just tossed around in the tide
gasping for a breath
trying to remain relevant
but they've been given a low score.
Now they are put out of the competition.

But it's politics, right?
So if the people say
or if I say they said
or if I say that I know
if I say I have a mandate.
Cut those emmisions noctornally
agreeing with those who chuckle in utter silence
understanding that derision if an institution of the deluded.
President putdown
it's never his fault.
He ignores the tusnami
Sad to say it he's living in a delusional world.
Making deals for things to happen in ten years
unfair deals that steal


glossry of what's next
 ♥♥? : 

Be nice to yourself and others. What other choice?

Wake up!

Wake up!

Wake again.
