Month: March 2017
I was told by a one-time friend that compassion was insufficient to stop wars. That peaceful anti-war marches were often unequal to the task they set out to achieve. He said that compassion was not enough. You needed more. Sometimes violence was required to make the point, that those ends justify the means. I did not, do not, cannot, will not ever concede that point.
He thought I was a pacifist. I am not. I would defend my homeland as I would my family and if in that defence my enemy was killed, regrettable and horrid an eventuality as that would be, self-preservation is Tao. It is the way of things. Defence of oneself is a natural and a legitimate act.
My one time friend then, thinking I was a pacifist, told me he wasn’t. That act’s of violence are sometimes required in aid of making a point and that he had and would use violent methods of protest to that end.
That is wrong.
Wrong about compassion. Wrong about violent protest.
He also asked me to number the times peaceful protests had achieved their aims?
In truth, I don’t know much less care. You either are a peace protester or you aren’t. If you are not someone who protests peacefully then you are no different to those you protest about.
Ironically, my one-time friend now insists he is a pacifist and, oddly enough, always was.
I guess that means something and for the sake of a once valued friendship I accept that it takes two to tango. And so long as that dance is a peaceful one I think it best to forgive and forget.
Peace must be achieved by peaceful means.

The Russkies are coming
the Russkies are coming
do you know why
its called a successful
revolution
and no one in
all the other
palaces wants
to pay that price
Russia is mostly a threat
to itself
given the demographics
and low birth rate
the Russkies
only want to
stabilise their
own motherland
not make babies
in the colonies
The military industrial complex
always needs justification
and the Russians
have always refused
assimilation until
Yeltsin just get drunk
and said what
the fuck
Putin is picking up the pieces
of national self esteem
and working to channel
all the corruption
to Russian friends
not the authors
of the shock treatment
Former KGB has he done
things worse than former
CIA
like
George Herbert Walker Bush?
The men in black are
always preparing the battlefield
for future conflict
and they are running
out of credible enemies
so its time for the Russskies
once more because this
is the final time
never again
will the system
lay credibility
down
to make
K street
the smartgravitisguy
women or alien hybrid
Obama and Hilary will never
be prosecuted the secrets
are too deep
but to compare whats
happening now with
Watergate is water boarding
history
Watergate allegedly
was a CIA pincher
for Nixon’s balls
to keep him
from investigating
Kennedy’s demise
where he was set up
by Pepsi to be
in Dallas
Bob Wood wad a
CIA asset
made the case
and everyone
loved it
In the Obama legacy
vs the Russians
the fingerprints
are much much much
much more clear
Someone was tapping
Trump all through the later
stages of the campaign
and like his mind
they came up
empty but
what a stain
what a revelation
that its totally true
politics in not
bean ball
some of that is true
and the rest just
lies used to
get
elected

I was once so very young
and prone to just do anything
and while I never did
toppling headstones
might have been a kick
but I never did
because it would be
so wrong
I knew dead people
and have they not already
suffered enough
indignity
As the ooze starts to leak
from the primordial swamp
that Trump is filling up
lets realise
we all should agree
on certain salient
facts
like gravity
use it as a starting point
and work backwards
to the point where
reality distortion
is possible
because so
far we cant build
castles in the sky
but we can appreciate
that every human
so far is going to die
and they had fathers
and mothers daughters
and sons
brothers and sisters
and friends
who laughed so hard
liquids sprouted from the nasal
passage
Humanity is an enterprise that
has no embarrassment
no shame
because anything that
has been done
will be done
by anyone
that’s a fact
you cant fake
news that
Now like children
we continue to grow up
as a society and are getting
very close to propriety
now that the majority
knows that we are
all the same under the sun
and its only the man
that want to play
games filed with illusions
and prestidigitation
that prove forever
they are number
one
So brothers and sisters
of every stripe and sexual
religious and cultural orientation
lets embrace each other
with love and defeat the man
who tells us always
its a voice from above
we must listen too
while we on the ground
grind it out every day
to make those that can
hear Gods voice
emperor
when really if you
translate all the messages
using math
the truth
is all they are
saying
is let them
eat cake

When rooks gather
It is called a parliament.
In a circle collected
With one at the centre,
Arcane and sinister
They listen in judgment
Then either leave
Or kill the one.
