Hmmm…

So here we are thinking we are thinking for ourselves when someone points out the little grassroots meetings and seminars are being put on by billionaire Koch Brothers who fund the tea party and the Wisconsin Union Busting mission and Scott Walker… It’s so easy to fool us hard working Americans into thinking that corporations are on our side…

yes yes yes, to make america a 3rd world country, to make us serfs, let’s make sure only the rich can afford health and education, that all the arts are funded solely by banking corporations like rockefeller  guggenheim brode…

all i can suggest is, like with anything, whether it be religion or politics or katy perry, do your research on where the funding is coming from, what their literature says, and compare… is their inequality built in and are people making a lot of money off the backs of the 99% of us who aren’t rich like that…   don’t u wish your girlfriend was hot like this?

days disappear to nights

nights, fogs of longing

for a pen & a dream

for colors

for a world changed to be

that potential

that purest thing

but here we are

armed with credit cards

powered by nuclear & oil

soiled hearts

& hazy memory

the oasis of love

somewhere on the other side of this machine gun

that childhood dance in the snow

the roll of the waves

over every sad face

running with the wind

arms outstretched

humanity

cutting off our own limbs

for a piece of imaginary

some paper

some drug

a name

my aunt has cancer

like everybody else’s aunt or parent

oh, but if it weren’t for the laughter
