Politics for Poets

Friday night Q slam!

Rumors of a DHS election audit . . .

I'm sure that a lot of people are freaking out right about now.

Someone said 'Alabama Honey Pot' and I don't think that it was a discussion of a strain of Cannabis.

I looked it up, and I found a photo stating how someone trained bees to make honey out of cannabis, complete with a photograph of bees on the big bud. In any case the kind of honey pot we are talking about is a little bit different than that.

And there is booming chat about John Perry Barlow who was . . . murdered(?) . . . or died of a heart attack? It's unclear.

I love the Greatful Dead and though they did a lot of vagabonding and allowing a lot of drug dealers to have cover, they were not usually inclined to try and 'capture' the people who followed them around. They were reluctant in a lot of ways to do the fame mongering thing, and were always doing things to try and wake people up to the obvious. They were kind and it was a loving situation if you went there with friends in a loving way. I never saw it devolve into anything unseemly aside from a lot of high people dancing and watching out for each other. What went on between the shows, with some of the popele who were dealing drugs? I don't know the details of all the things that happened but it was not always a bad scene, thoguh often it seemed like there was that portal of hell thing in the world anyway. And it does like to follow around those who think that they ahve found the portal of heaven and they want you to think it was them but it wasn't the gReatful dead or Keasey as far as I knew that were out there spreading the fear. and if they were the children of the . . . what did Barlow write that song about? But they also had Mister Charlie, about Charles Manson. And The song I need a Miracle: it was a rant that was presenting a character, and anyone would know that and that Bobby certainly never expected, n the real world that anyone would treat him as an icon, but just a guy who made it big because he connected or was part of . . . something that they all must have figured out about each other with the revelations that we have, about now. So Barlow's song 'Mason's children' was a description of other things. And these were maybe a few generations later kids who were swept up into it and rejecting it (in the 1960's). And so I suggest that before we really trash anyones legacy we present other evidence, for example, BArlow had a 25 rules that he posted somewhere. I think that if the 'secure drop' had been compromised by . . . someone who was affiliated wtih Mr. Barlow, than can we really say that Barlow was in league with the . . . who seem to have gone rouge even long before Barlow was even on the scene, or just a lad and one of their 'children' as they say. One of the mason's children. So ya, you gotta put him into his context. And ya, you don't like the free sex free drugs life style, but that doesn't make someone a devil worshiper. And you know if they had some bad habits, it might have already brought them low. They certainly didn't have to travel around and create a gathering 150 days a year or more where most of the people were there to commune with love and to cast away their selfish ness. That was the light and birght and happy spirit and light interpretation. But the mind makes it happen. And taking a drug to get yourself there is a bad way to go there.

So I want to believe that Barlow was trying to wake the world up to what he couldn't escape from, in a way that would allow for a better future but he trusted the wrong people.

Call me a fool. And I want to say that we need to pray for him, and those who might be in his similar situation.

Some of the stuff is troubling. Mk Ultra seems diabolical. I do not think that deadheads were the pray of that program, and the ones that may have followed.

There is so much other world news going on, the Maldives, Etheopia, South Africa, Israel, Syria. On going world wide systemic corruption is being rooted out. That is the narrative. Hope it all works. We certainly have been under a regime of institutional mean for a great many years. Is the Great Awakening going to make it easier for everyone? more hype? Or a neccessary part of a very difficult anticorruption effort that we couldn't pull off until now? I want to say that it's an anticorruption effort. And I believe that Trump is part of it.

I have said it on these pages before: we are in the middle of a world war and the media pretends that it isn't happening. People in the know think differently, and say, ya, on-going. Constant efforts. And we are 'winning bigly'. That is good news!

Oh the wish of dreaming songs
that all can sing along
even those out of tune
howling as they swoon.

Oh this hard fact
of buzz kill
stories
the week before.
Take note of that sarrow
nothing more.

You didn't cause it
so why feel so blue?
And is there anything really
that you could do?

Just to post these lamoid
draft poems, so chilly
on my unread front page
posted by billy
whose always been inclined
to run on in his mind
and produce content that is silly.

Ah, silly billy,
willy nilly
oh so silly.

 A hard hearted Rosta.
 A full plate of pasta.
 Everybody knows
 you can never make a 
 girl like that
 happy.
 
 On a brighter day
 everybody goes
 to the high pier
 at the fifty mile beach
And I know
She doesn't look you in the eye
and when she she says bye-bye
she means
by
and by
and buy
uhn't ah
ya huh huh
till all the moneys gone and I knjow

You can't ever make a girl like her
happy
so why should you even try
because if she has you in your sights
she might just be wishing that you'd . . . 
die.

nuht uh
uh ha
nuht uh
uh ha

in the bigger world
everyone says
if you want two 
then why not just take two?
But if she's watching everything you do?
all the hopes that you pursue
and causeing harms that might acrue
if you dwell
in that hell

nuht uh
uh ha
uh ha 
uh ha ha ha ha haa

nuht uh
uh ha
uh ha
uh ha ha ha ha haa

Everybody says
you can't
ever make a girl like her
happy
It's a brighter day
and you're driving a way
she had nothing left to say

nuht uh
uh ha
uh ha
uh ha ha ha ha ha haaa

If you want to
then you don't you just do?

If you want two
why don't you just take two?

 This the part
 where she's breaking your heart.
 
 How can you stop
 when you don't ever start?

 
 I know
 the things you keep in side
 you've been shutting up your mind
 the one's you left behind.
 I heard
 the songs you sing when you are blue
 you make the words sappy gew
 like you don't know what to do.
 
 
 
 If you'd just
 write your songs
 to be for everyone.
 Stop 
 making villains
 of who you don't know.
 You see it all in the dark
 and you write and tune
 and then on a lark
 you put some crappy words
 that actually are absurd
 if you think of what you say
 when you're lonely to convey
 that I don't really know
 what you are rattling on.
 Can't you think
 of better words
 for your rage-head
 anthum song?

nothing
nothing
you don't know anything
I can't take you anywhere
you don't kjnow nothing
and I
don't know
why
with that look
in your eye
that you're starting 
to cry
your just a little
baby guy.

Nothing
nothing
don't you know anything?
I cna't take you anywhere
you don't know nothing.
And I don't know why
with that look in her eye
that I was starting to cry
but the video didn't lie.

I ain't never gonna be
anything more
than what I'll already become
and if you thinking what you hope for
what you left behind
no make up your mind
what did you really find?
Cause I don't know that it's dumb.

If you're thinking about it
and you're talking about it
you had the whole day long
to do something about it.
And I don't know why
you've been screaming and shouting
and I don't even know what you mean.

If you don't love me
then I could walk down along the sea
in the blizzard
with the wind and the flooding flow.
I'll walk off along the shore
you won't see me back here anymore
Getting on my boots and I'm going to go.

If you're thinking about it
and you're talking about it
you had the whole day long
to do something about it
and I don't know why
you've been screaming and shouting
and I don't even know what you mean.

If you don't love me
I could walk down along the sea
and you'd would see
that you don't really want me 
to go.
But you opened up that door
you said "Don't come around here no more!
Now off with you
into
the blizzards and hightide flow"

If you're thinking about it 
and you're talking about it
had the whole day long 
to do something about it
and I don't know why
you are screaming and shouting
and now you say I must go?

Ah
ha ha haaa
ha haa ha haa ha
haa 
ha ha ha
ha
ha ha ha ha
due do do doom doom doom
da de dippity doom
and the dunes
are flooded with
snow.

ah ha ha Haa
ha ha
ha ha
ha ha ha ha
have you told your lover to go?
And did he take you at your word
as rediculous and as absurd
and wonder off
into the blizzards of snow?



You look to me
like you've been trying too hard
like life's been dealing you a crooked card
Or you've been freaking out
locked out of your car
and then you wondered down the midnight highway really far.

And I don't know
which way
the wind will blow
I thought we'd worked out
yesterdasy
you look at me and have nothing to say.

You look to me like you've been running to fast
like life has bowled you over
and kncoked you on your ass
or you've gotten bloated and are all full of gas . . .
or worrying about a fantasy past.

I don't know
which way the wind will blow
I thought we'd worked it out yesterday.
You look at me and you've got nothing to say . . .
