man not nature…
Sometimes I think humanity needs to be gone. Look at how our
environment is crumbling. All in the name of money.
it’s not wildfires
but state-sponsored arson so
there’ll be no arrests
funeral arrangements…
My friend has a thought about death and our society.
there will be no more graves
there are
far too many bodies
to
bury
and
burning
seems
unreasonable
with
our air quality
just as
shooting them
into
space
is not an option
hell
we already
have
more than enough
space junk
to
come
raining down
upon us
it
really
just leaves us
with
chemical baths
to
dissolve
the dear ones
there will of course
be
the legal battles
to
fight
with
environmentalists
who will claim
mankind
will be harmed
by
the residue
in
the water supply
and
then they will offer
the
absurd proposal
that
we
stop
war
a new staging…
My poet friend has come up with a great comparison.
Jean-Michel Moreau [Public domain]
in this
interminably
drawn-out production
of
lust for power
and
human greed
the part
of
doctor pangloss
is played
by
the entire
us senate
the grand inquisitor
is played
by
moscow mitch
the part
of
mynheer vanderdendur
is
a shared role
by
members
of
the presidential cabinet
the part
of
the baron
is
played
by
the president himself
and
of course
the role
of
candide
is played
by
the american public
OBSERVATIONS & OPINIONS
TRUMP & HITLER
I just stumbled upon a Trump rally in New Hampshire.
Don’t know when. It’s the content and body language
that matters.
I listened to his rhetoric, as always glorifying himself.
But I notice something different.
When he stepped away from the podium to listen to
the crowd roar their approval, I could imagine Hitler
doing the same movements.
Watch the rally and tell me I am wrong.
Fellow Americans, I think we are in big trouble.
