Everybody Stop!

If we could teach the world, one thing
it should not be, the price of string
the microwave and why it pings
the endless list, of English kings
the dynasty, of Chinese Ming
the mystery, of golden rings
the history, of Western Swing

No
absolutely none of these things
with all the distraction they would bring
if we could teach the world one thing
we need

The Empirical Veneers of Decency and Acceptance

The Empirical Veneers of Decency and Acceptance

It’s funny how perceived intelligence 
Is not necessarily a measure of true smarts 
How the genius, the barrister and the eloquent 
Can miss the point from the very start 

It’s quite bemusing to observe her lack of self-awareness
And confusing to preserve his political correctness
While alluding to conserve the after

Comment On Decency And Morality

This ole earth sets its unholy record
as sin is so often celebrated
The bad walk with chins and chest puffed out
streets danger from the inebriated.

Robert J. Lindley, Feb 2nd 1971

Note; My friend Jimmy, died this last weekend due to his driving drunk.
A completely needless act.

Premium MemberHere I Am

Here I am at the crossroads 
Staring blankly at the inky dark sky

Beaten to a pulp and helpless 
By forces of darkness 

Here I am lying in the pool of my emotions 
Clutching at every straw
To maintain sanity and stability

Here I am a victim of a system 
That dehumanises her own

Here I am cloned from

Rampant Lethargy

R is for the repeated distortions of facts,
A for press articles written with hacks,
M for the emphasis placed on survival,
P for the piss taken out of your rival.
A for analogies that never convince,
N for false narratives making us wince,
T for traditional values cast-off
   That cause umpteen scholars and clergy to scoff.

L is for

Common Sense is uncommon, I'm told

       while Plain, Old-Fashioned Decency

             is neither plain nor old

Pride and Joy

Pride......and joy?

Pride is thinking that you know too much 
Thinking that the love you have is even half enough
It's clinging to honesty as if heard earnestly spoken
Or getting hurt and saying bones and will aren't broken
It's setting aside the friendships that build us up
And giving respect to a thought or reason conveyed with guff
It's separating

Premium MemberFor Democracy and Decency

I’m sorry but I can’t pretend or meditate it away
Watching Americans becoming predators after human prey
I think of all the police now at home bruised and broken
Who fought for so many lives without the respect of so many unspoken
Then at the dog park, two women demanded people take off their masks
When people refused they opened

Premium MemberSaving Liberty

We find Liberty has left us as we left our guard,
allowing hate and dishonesty to prosper unbarred.
We tempted fate, then saw cruelty's depth
as we watched a man die while pleading for breath.

Strong words either left or came at us fast,
as we longed for the future still mired in the past.
We came together walking as one.
Our

Premium MemberRed Or Blue

Living a 3D technology 
in our visual world of reality 
where one is so much less without the other
Two realities side by side
in it’s depths we came alive
seeing through each lens of a different color
 
Now it seems we’ve fallen flat
stabbed dimension in the back
as traders for a pair of a different view
Now a pair

Premium MemberThe End of Decency and Modesty

Scrambled legs hopping and jumping
Rear ends jiggling, blood is pumping
Modern dancing in the late 60’s is cool.
Sent more than one lad to military school.

This is outrageous parents were saying.
Bellbottoms and bare bellies had them praying.
Free love announced on cups and signs.
Unexpected fathers not signing dotted lines.

Women sadly left to raise children all alone.
Many in another

Decency

The decency.


With relation to the horizon I am a walking vertical.

I justify it by standing in a line of the same lines

near a coffee boot.

I will certainly be punished for behaving differently

from the ideal of straightness.

I pretend not to understand that

'there' coffee is not sold.

Closeness.

I am a cathetus that exists

in relation to location and time.

I
