CALMING WAVING WRINKLED THOUGHTS
In the fog of the sea of mind,
Skiffing thoughts flow to and fro
On wrinkling waves frothing
To who knows where, as they
Ripple to be or not to be, echoes
Of negativity, neutral, or whatever:-
In the mental sky’s hovering of all of this,
A flash of enlightening awareness reveals
The necessity of the need to test the rudder
Of these wandering, skiffing though, towards
The reality shores of waiting sands of positivity:-
Praise be to the Giver of divine wisdom,
In the midst of such shipwreck-like thoughts,
Where it becomes necessary to realize that
We are not only navigators of the sea of mind,
But also controllers of its mental flow skiffed
Wandering thoughts in need of divine guidance:-
As seen in nature, the flowing waters of life’s seas
Are not always waving calmness and collectiveness:-
Rather, they are sometimes watered-skinned with turmoil,
And are in need of divine climatic attention to settle down:-
Thus, whenever turbulent thoughts enter the sea of our minds,
Remember, in its nature, we must also control our mind’s climate:-
A friend of mine just called me
Since her flight has been delayed,
With Newark messing up the plans
So many folks have made.
I do not live in Jersey
So this airport isn’t mine,
But it isn’t far and all its problems
Somehow crossed the line.
Construction on the runways
Made United cancel flights
And controllers walking off the job
Brought danger to new heights.
Equipment failures add a new
Dimension to this scourge
And to worsen this fiasco,
There’s some rain about to surge.
My friend’s flight was rerouted
To an airport close to me
And I hope she gets to fly today,
But there’s no guarantee.
Baseballs, Barbie dolls
Bicycles and falls
Replaced with
Controllers, scrolling
Strollers and hovering
The turn of a thumb
And the flash of a screen
Another year passes by
With the hum of a machine
Numbers and titles
And words I don't mean
It's hard to ask why
And it's even harder to see
Why am I still here?
Who are these people?
And could they ever be friends?
Why do I cheer?
For all that is evil?
And just how the hell
Could I ever make amends?
As the world keeps on turning
Like the wheels on a train
They teach me that it's burning
And it's my turn to pay
But their words aren't for learning
And the numbers only add more pain
I'd like to think for myself
And to make my own journey
But I've got no truths to tell
And all their lies have been burned in my brain
So why do my hands
Keep these circuits so near
When deep down I know
My smile isn't here
I look across the land
And see a sky that's so clear
It almost let's the light
Between the space of my ears
The Atemporal Wall
Hidden away from the light of day
In cubbyholes and basement flats
Are they who play computer games
And stuff their faces with chocolates.
Here is where they snicker and connive
(While rambunctious fingers press the buttons)
On terrestrial Earth, this side of the universe,
Of mice, keyboards, and controllers.
But when they crash into the wall of forever
And dispersed matter becomes reality,
The power of the sun from which they run
Traps them into the quagmire of sobriety.
There is no tomorrow, they discover;
The atemporal wall blocks the future.
***
Note:
Atemporal (Merriam-Webster dictionary): adjective; independent of or unaffected by time; timeless.
Politicians ready to bet
Will play with the national debt
They think they control
How the dice will roll
But may cause a gambler’s regret
Authors note: Last time this happened, the Federal Government shut down and stopped making payments to its employees. The air traffic controllers who were working without pay started a slow down and President Trump decided to give in rather than face a catastrophe.
This time, it looks more serious as some in Congress feel they can use the debt limit to force concessions. This could get very ugly in June. Imagine if social security payments stop. Until then, the government will use accounting tricks to pay our obligations. Of course, we should reduce spending and adjust taxation for fairness and to promote the health of our planet, but we need a long-term sensible negotiated bipartisan plan for that.
In hindsight, I’ve always kept my mind right,
I only lose sleep at night over the that I write,
it’s like the weight on Atlas’ shoulders, are you hearing what this rap is,
a fight against the controllers, modern day john the Baptist,
but I ain’t selling a savior, it’s too late for later,
my labor of love, Ep the revelator,
takin my time, like im taking in drugs, chill Doug,
never underestimate the evil that man do,
and never take on more than you can handle,
I got a weed based diet, along with scripting the ill ,
I am the Ecliptic, sun worship, if it don’t rhyme, don’t force it,
spray cans on the brain, Ramo on the train tracks,
’s never been the same as way back,
people fade, the brain finds a new pathway to explain,
why the fuk life is how it is,
society is aimed at making you feel powerless,
9-5, ain’t that some ,
but you do what you have to when your passionate,
Randy Orton pose like a statue, Ricky Morton arm drag,
I’m opposed to the fascist posing radical, I’m burning els with Cobra Command and Zartan,
they say I thyme like an animal, I say I’m more of a sage, ageless stoic,
but I put it down nice, that’s the meaning of a poet.
t-rump is a bankruptcy professional....
fall guy who takes responsibility with respect....
legal complications in exchange for profits that....
preserve his style of life while others struggle.....
it is pertinent to ask if t-rumps party is bankrupt....
and he plays an ignoramus fall guy who will be blamed....
when the party (as is) no longer wins because money is going.....
elsewhere and not to a corporate party that's behind the times.....
because the filthy rich controllers refuse to support the likes of.....
a universal health care system, an education systems that actually....
ranks with other modern cultures, an end to the us against them.....
government concept preserving a relatively primitive democracy system....

One of my Heroes is Ronald Bernard. Ronald was an elite Illuminati Banker at the very top of the Pyramid. He was from the Netherlands and he was a key part in the puzzle of the World Elite Controllers. A very rich and powerful man that somehow managed to leave that Sinister World of Lies, Deception, and Control without them Killing him. In these videos He tells all of their Hidden Agenda, the Powerful families that rule, the Satanic rituals, there dark World. He shares how he was Traumatized and abused growing up and was prepared for his indoctrination into their World. How he could not take it anymore and had a breakdown, and was able to get out. He shares their dirty Secrets and what we must do to survive their Evil Agenda. He is a man of Conviction. A man of Morals and Truth, a man with the Courage of a Lion. My Hero Ronald Bernard.

It’s not going to be easy or quick
For people to bounce back from the tragedy
The pandemic we had wiped out thousands
Of america’s people, major loses
Love ones, businesses and people’s
Life savings, there were job lost
That lead to unemployment even
Though there were thousands that didn’t
Receive anything in their worst time of need
Sadly there’s not a second round of help
Insight, some is now being told that
They have to pay the unemployment back
Where does it end, lost lives, lost jobs
Having to pay back money with no job
Being forced to commit a crime
Just to feed your family
Some don’t have a place to lay their head
At night, some people have lost their
Beliefs and respect for the higher ups
Called the system, the controllers
How do you bounce back from that
If you feel that no one cares
tell-a-vision is...
a reality construct
that tunes minds...
individual's world-concepts like...
they were remote virtual-world game players
controlled by...
corporate and political designers who foster...
false psychologies to drive consumer viewer's
anxieties toward change for some irrelevant-reality...
tell-a-vision mirage that's...
really only meant to effect a viewers blind-attentions
toward the controllers' own personal ambitions and financial ends....

pleasure is fleeting
fulfillment mostly short lived
its guesstimatiom
thats mans survival
natures selective design
numbers reign supreme
and too delusions
tribalism righteousness
gene supremicies
win lose love or hate
weak strong controllers controlled
the human mind state
often asks for change
consciousness is not contents
it's liberation

Power!
Held the

Pecking order,

Power
homogenized!
Are they tame?
Our children who were sweet
Become anxious,
Stressed,
Obnoxious,
Controlled,
And upset
When they can't figure out the next frame.
They'll throw controllers, yell
And kick things as if under a spell.
In a blur they'll go to the internet
Looking for cheats
That let
Them beat
The boss to prove their fame.
God help the person who should delete
Or maim
An unfinished video game.
No one dare touches for everyone knows their
LIFE will be over if anyone should mutter a name.
Waltz of
humanity.
Spinning.
Spinning
out of the
goo. Landing
on our feet.
Look around
then organize.
Organize to
survive.
Organization
requires
hierarchy.
Hierarchy
requires power,
power to
control.
Humanity
controlling
humanity.
Structures
with controls.
Some telling
others what
to do.
Power to
control.
The few
controlling
the many.
Always, controllers
controlling.
Doing, saying
whatever it takes
to control.
Kneel and bow
do as you’re
told.
Flaw, control
going viral
planet wide
technology enhanced.
Subjugate whole
with control.
Sad times ahead.
