Democracy1

It’s not so bad.

The realization that the second
major people-governing concept
has failed…

First there was Higher Power, gods
invoked so close to us on
earth that they came to our
dreams, spoke and guided us.

Folks like those under the prophet
Samuel kicked that theocracy out
years ago, thought kings might
be a better way, for “Hey—

all the other nations was doin’ it!”
The Hebrew god warned kings might
be corrupt, finally that on the day
we complained, he wouldn’t hear.

So the Greeks rose up like a Narcissus
flower, rejected single male power,
and invented dēmokratia, democracy –
Long live people-rule, at last!

The Romans liked it, spread it
around by force, liked Jesus—spread
him around by force, combined the two
to steal land in the New World,

a Dutch mapmaker calling it all…
America.  The natives still had their
higher powers, excited by the earth
and their place under a Great Spirit.

But we had our democracy, bible, and
most powerful of all, it would seem,
gun powder.  An Asian invention, fireworks
English and other Euros used to kill.

So people-rule it was and has been,
although I’ve never seen people rule
during an earthquake, forest fire
or hurricane.

“It’s flooding, you say? Well, let’s
hold a vote,” never much swayed
the elements, but still we claim that
“people-power is best.”

Until it isn’t.  Until two parties argue
and argue and do nothing.  Until you
realize there is no power in hallways,
marble and human art, that the

natives may have had it more right
than wrong, the waterfalls, valleys,
rivers and mountains of their
higher powers holding joy and sway.

I used to talk and write of Geocracy,
God, Earth and People-rule, but
know the word in front offends, so
onward I look, want to join?

People don’t always rule, so let’s
move on… There’s something better
at the end of this tunnel, so keep
digging toward the light.

Democracy has died because it was
never in the first place right.

The combination of people, honoring
the earth and invoking a higher power
seeming to this poet the truth,
a way to it, giving blindness sight.

Where God and Earth Meet

Mother Earth2

The bible was law, among
other things, code with rules
and goals set for students
and readers to follow for
spiritual fulfillment, and as
a guide to reach heaven.

Civilization needs law, people
packed in together, concrete
and asphalt beginning to take
us away from the Earth, nature
itself being our first and only
needed book to guide us…

The smile is within, the bloom
on the field, many plants in
limbo needing more sun or
more rain, the cycle of life all
around us—including paper
and ink, laws and rules fine…

God, good orderly direction,
higher powers, the Supreme
Mover of all things; it’s a
relationship we may have
with a simple ask, or a prayer.
Use a book or the tree to

help you overcome your fear.
What unifies is a proper guide,
what separates in negative vibe
from a lower power, as my AA
sponsor would say, powerful too—
Pick one, it’s up to you!

Family Are Those

Poor we find our true road,
born that, hand out from the start
yet no one criticizes babies for
being deadbeats.

Our blood lets us down, some
confused into thinking if I can
just make this biological clique
happy, impress this fifteen or so
people, this nuclear blah blah,

until you set out on your own,
having found God you say to them
“Nah, nah,” and you build friendships,
look up in a good book to see that
a rebellious rabbi once said,

“Family are those who do the will
of God.”

Those who are nice to you,
those who consider your feelings,
are open and loving with you—

your family, nothing to do with
sharing blood or genes, DNA or
the time of day,

We divorce ourselves from the clique,
say hello to the broad highway
to heaven, come with me—

Let’s walk it.

***

Poor we find our true road,
born that, hand out from the start
yet no one criticizes babies for
being deadbeats.

As children we enter heaven, not
as old, complaining adults.

Give to God your life that was never
really yours, and fear not.

Not death, not failure, not truth,
not lies, not the whip, not the cold,
not bitterness, not growing old.

Be the family you want to have
and get married.

To whatever you want to be, be
true, rest and see, relax and know
you never lost by not having a perfect
home, all redeemable on the road
to what you gloriously reap when
properly sowed.

Love

My President and King

The blind leading the blind
down blind alleys and suffering;
what can a human king do for
a human being?

Samuel was a fool to ask for one,
you were fooled to vote for one;

Real power in the sky, stream and
stars that are beyond our arms,
the dance of wind and change on
your face, the leaves and branches
shadows all over the place yielding

what a man cannot:

Peace.

***

Samuel trudge back!

Go back up that hill or hut,
sound the alarm or bugle or
whatever trumpet says “Hey!”
We’ve gone amuck!

Give back the reins, let God take
it over from here.

God is my king and my president,
Smile.

And never fear!!!!!!!

Forbidden Fruit, Samuel’s Curse And the Road Back to Eden

Shhh.

God is in the wind.  The song forms…

Shhh.

Don’t wake and rise until the wind chimes
night away in the mind, the dreams advising
us on what the conscious cannot report,

ESP guiding the Aborigine from tree to tree,
the desert nothing to the faithful, guiding peace
from the forest, oneness with all.

The Native American rises, beats a chest with
truth, slept on the ground that gave him life.
Sometimes too hot is the eye of heaven—

And often is his gold complexion dimmed,
Shakespeare a friend of words—

Leaving Eden, we found talking to God more
and more remote through prophets, judges,
kings and medicine men!

The best leader taps for you a way to lead
yourself—listen!

Shhh.

Sit still and breathe in the change that Adam
brought, chains of slavery wrought, justice and
other words playing out over hundreds of years

while a historian writes down “1861-1865.”

Go further.

Deny these elections, that prop up biggest money’s
biggest candidates, the process a lie.

Abbreviations like NRA and CIA have been in
control of American Government since 1963.

Human kings peeing on God from Samuel’s
request until today, so don’t buy it!

Keep your money on lockdown, un-register like
I did until your mailbox is no longer full
of candidate waste, fancy paper and graphics
while OUR SIDEWALKS CRUMBLE, TRASH LITTERS
THE STREETS, GUTTERS AND DRAINS CLOGGED,
NOISY POLICE HELICOPTERS PRETENDING TO
“KEEP THE PEACE,”

American “Central Intelligence” killing our
own peace-loving president in cold blood,
covering up the crime with lines fools, ignorant

or just people with no time to fact-check
beg to believe.

Chris Matthews on my TV, so smart and
shrewd, my elder and an experienced
pundit:

Slandering Lee Harvey Oswald, forgetting
our own 6th Amendment to the United States
Constitution guaranteeing our accused

AN ADVERSERIAL DUE PROCESS OF LAW—
A DEFENSE.  TWO SIDES IN A COURTROOM BEFORE
A JUDGE AND/OR JURY TO ARGUE BACK
AND FORTH FOR A GREATER TRUTH.

Ah, but Chris and others at the military’s RCA’s
NBC and others just go with the old
“Appeal to Authority” fallacy.

“Bobby Kennedy, the victim’s brother, with
access to all that intelligence… said Lee
Harvey Oswald did it.”

No thanks, Chris and NBC.

That is shoddy journalism, and a slander
on due process, the same thing we do today
blaming Hillary Clinton for “losing” an election
in 2016 AGAINST DONALD TRUMP AND RUSSIA!!

To call “foul” in American politics is a drop in
buckets unheard by the shooter at the range,
the killer propping up the Second Amendment
over the Sixth Commandment:

Thou shall not Kill.

Stuttering is fine, but wisdom never does it.
