2071 - Big Brother Watches From On High
2017 - year zero

They loaned to the poor, who cannot repay.
They stole from the old, who cannot recover.
They sold our future, for better or worse
and made our children pay.
They schooled arithmetic to be feared.
They tutored trust in suited men.
They taught the poor were lazy
and spawned...

Premium Member Say Hell No To the Vaccine
Their Plans are being implemented as Trump says, "Operation Warp Speed."
Say Good Bye to the Country We All Cherished. The Coin shortage is the planned beginning of a "Cashless Society giving them more control of you. Remember they will say the Virus will be transferred...

Hate Is Hate
Hating hate
Is still hate
hate is not defeated with hate
hate is not defeated by love
hate is quelled with understanding
but
we have forgotten how to listen
instead of listening to understand
we only listen for disagreement
so busy fighting for the scraps 
of the american dream
we stopped listening
so far RIGHT you...

Premium Member Dental Rockstar
I went to the dentist
It had been awhile
Yet after much drilling
Followed by filling
The bills heaped in a pile

He said come twice a year
Or try to make it three
Brush three times a day
And floss the right way
And maybe just maybe

You’ll be a dental star
Which sounded bizarre
But...

Premium Member Steps Aside
STEPS ASIDE

They’ve banned the “step counters”
Outlawed the treadmill and stationary bike
Banned jogging (aka fast walking for the elderly)
Sports will be limited to “non-aerobic” activities
Tiddlywinks tournaments will be Government funded.

Scientific research and investigation
Funded by the “stay inside and die sooner” chapter
Of the “Governmental Gottcha Groups” 
Has...

Premium Member The Virus Card
They've tossed their souls away
again
harlots for a vote
they've fingered the race card
the rapist card
the Russian card
the Ukraine card
now they're playing mahjong 
with a virus.
Muzzling our freedoms and rights
placing plastic tiles in our minds
when this latest fallacy fails 
they'll boomerang (black) 
to the race card again.

They're...

Not Down With This Sickness
There is a system 
That turns innocent to victim..
And the aggressor turns to witness.
There’s a sickness in this business.
The whole judicial system is with this!
Swept under the rug with a quickness..

Children being taken by force with the courts..
How is it that there are so many...

No More
No more creativity deemed on 
the exercise of rotten faculty
Nor burning intelligence’s 
penalty
Nor repression sold as 
suppression
Nor dissemination of distortion 
I shall be content at dawn
To take my leave
Subjugation’s tyranny’s ambition
It’s combat? 
Humanity’s mission
Submission’s antithesis is 
faction
Behold as protest is deemed 
agitation
As justice refuses man’s...

Premium Member The Hidden Truth
The American Calvary slaughtered native
Americans almost wiping them into
extinction. They took their land away and
put them on reservations. How come in the
movies, the old stories have the native
Americans as the savages. I ask you, who
were the real Savages? Most of us are as
my brother brought...

Tale of Inner Child
Chasing your tail forever like a dog
Into the forest, confusion of the fog
A door that’s locked, without a key
Asleep you found it, woke not to be
Where is this tail, where did it go?
Pondering on my knees, to and fro
As a young lad, kept in my...

Premium Member People of Faith
It's hard to say where and when our town's People of Faith Cooperative started.

After all,
we have all emerged together,
and are still emerging
people of TaoGod,
right?

Our faith includes defining our still humanizing species
as among those not capable of autonomously regenerating ourselves
into our divine health functions,
or even our...

Premium Member A Light In the Heavens
Galileo had his turn.
But with much still left to learn
the brown dwarf sat-----waiting.

Then came hubble to the frey.
Seeking in a finite way
the brown dwarf teasing.

Nibiru, if confirmed, 
a new planet we have turned
from mystery to being.

Sparky, We'Re Going Under
Happy 5th birthday have you accepted rape into your life,
It's a patriarchal practice built from sadism and male strife,
A hedonistic ritual to keep us all under control,
The birthright of masculinity bestowed upon all men young and old,
They'll decry our institution of commercialized fear funded by...

Politics At Play
Here we go, 
        so far from in the know.
How did these candidates get chosen,
  	funded by the corporate private money unseen and unfrozen?
They sing, they dance, 
        they point...
