GUEST: My question is how to participate as a citizen in a country in a way that would be positive rather than negative.

During the war in Viet Nam, I was in silent vigils that some people and I started.
And I felt good about that.

But I also realize that it’s very easy to get caught up in resisting and being negative.

So, I wanted to ask you what your thoughts are on that?

ABRAHAM: The ideal citizen, ... one who contributes enormously to the Well-being of the whole,
... is one who focuses so specifically on life giving projects that you act as a vortex that summons life into this dimension through you.

Some would say, “Well, you mean she shouldn’t get involved in bigger issues?”

And we say, “She can choose any issue she wants to be one of those life giving issues.”

It’s about choosing something and focusing upon it with the sheer intent of letting it summon to itself through you.

GUEST: I don’t want to see society become like those countries where women would be kept at home and not allowed to leave.

I would like to operate in my society in a way where I see to it that more freedoms in that way are preserved or enhanced.

ABRAHAM: What do you see as you look around you in this society?

You see mostly freedom.

And so, as you focus here, you can feel, as you observe, an environment that is a vibrational match to your desire.
You feel better.

As you observe another society that is not a vibrational match to your desire, you don’t feel so good.

Your role, as a productive citizen,
is to choose from those two perspectives
the one that you can feel the Energy flowing the strongest.

And, it’s not hard to figure out which one that is, is it?
You can tell by the way you feel.

Many people believe that if there are not protests, that nothing ever gets better.
And we say, well, there is accuracy to a degree.

If you don’t know what you don’t want, you could not know what you do want.

And so, it is the contrast or the diversity that helps you to formulate your decision.
And often the strongest decisions come out of the worst situations.
It’s those unbearable or deplorable things that often give the rocket of desire the greatest thrust.

But what goes wrong with so many people is, once the desire is born, then they keep looking back and trying to justify the desire by pointing out how bad things are.

And, when they look back, they just include that vibration which makes them a muted, clutter filter.

They are not a vortex that is doing any summoning toward what they want.

If you let a negative situation build that rocket of desire within you,
and you focus upon the way you want it to be,
and then you imagine that.
You dream that.

You amplify that. You look for evidence of that.
You talk about that. You script that.
You find the feeling place of that.
You imagine that.
You dream that.
You hold yourself in that vibration and you create that.

You open the vortex, single-handedly, that hundreds of thousands, millions,
then benefit from, because of your attention to the subject.

Most of you do not believe that you have that kind of power of focus.

So you gather all over the place, and then you feel crabby because you know,
from your Non-physical Perspective, the extraordinary power and value and reason that you have come here to focus.

You did not say, “I’ll come forth, but clean up everything that might bother me,
and then I’ll come.”

Instead, you said, “I’ll go forth into this contrast,
and out of it I’ll feel new desire born in me.”

When we tell you that you are on the leading edge of thought, we are not kidding you.

Here is the way it works:
So, you examine the contrast.
We are not talking about conflict.
But contrast might be conflict.
You examine the stuff, ... all the stuff.
You observe it, and out of it is born a desire,
and when that desire comes within you,
you feel it.

And as you feel that desire, then you talk about it,
and you think about it, and you think about it,
and you imagine it and you offer a vibration about it,
and then the Universe responds.

And, now you stand in a new place with a whole different set of contrasting experiences
giving birth to another desire that you then focus upon and think about
and find a feeling place of
until you are standing in a different place with a whole different set of contrasting experiences.

Sometimes we think you think that the work is to get it done.
You think the work is to get it all cleaned up.

And we say, you did not ever intend to come forth and get everything checked off the list.
You came forth to get more things on the list.
You never get it done.

Now you’re beginning to understand why we want you to enjoy the journey.
Because there is no end to this journey.
You could desire and it could be painful to you,
and you could stop desiring and you could croak.

But we promise you, that won’t be the end of you.

In your physical withdrawal from this experience,
all you get is a whole new lease on life from which you want to come forth into another physically focused environment,
so that you can begin the process again.

It is so satisfying once you begin to understand the rhythm of all of this,
and you begin to understand that the contrast is a good thing
... because the contrast gives you a new desire,
and then, as you fantasize and find the feeling place of it,
then everything in the Universe begins to respond to your vibrational output.

And then, from that new vantage point,
new contrasting experiences give birth to more desire.

And so, the fun of it is not getting to the place where the Universe yields it to you.
Although that can be fun.

But the fun of it is the birth of the desire to begin with, and then the bringing yourself into an alignment with the desire.

There is nothing more delicious than the Creative endeavor.

Friends, you have in your hands the Energy that creates worlds.
And you said, “I would like to take that powerful Energy,
and I would like to focus it through my specific physical human vortex.
So I will be a citizen in this environment,
and I will conclude as best I can from my vantage point.

And when that conclusion builds within me as that rocket of desire and I feel it,
I will revel in what this contrasting experience has produced,
because I’m on the leading edge again.

I’ve just given birth to a new desire.

I am going to focus on the desire.
I’m going to find the feeling of the desire.
I’m going to explain the desire.
I’m going to become familiar with the desire.

I’m going to become desire.

I am going to become the embodiment, ... the vibrational embodiment,
... of this desire.

I am going to radiate that desire.
It’s going to express through me so that anyone that comes into contact will feel a piece of that desire.
And, sure, Law of Attraction will manifest the heck out of it all around me,
but that’s not why I’m here.

I’m here for the experience of the Energy flowing through.

No Country for Adult Infants

First they put away the dealers,
keep our kids safe and off the street.
Then they put away the prostitutes,
keep married men cloistered at home.

Then they shooed away the bums,
then they beat and bashed the queers,
turned away asylum-seekers,
fed us suspicions and fears.
We didn't raise our voice,
we didn't make a fuss.
It's funny there was no one left to notice
when they came for us.

Looks like witches are in season,
you better fly your flag and be aware
of anyone who might fit the description,
diversity is now our biggest fear.

Now with our conversations tapped
and our differences exposed,
how ya supposed to love your neighbor
with our minds and curtains closed?
We used to worry 'bout big brother,
now we got a big father and an even bigot mother.

And you still believe
this aristocracy gives a fuck about you.
They put the mock in democracy
and you swallowed every hook.

The sad truth is
you'd rather follow the school into the net
'cause swimming alone at sea
is not the kind of freedom that you actually want.

So go back to your crib and suck on a tit
go bask in the warmth of your diaper.
You're sitting in shit and piss
while sucking a giant pacifier,
a country of adult infants.
A legion of mental midgets,
a country of adult infants,
a country of adult infants.
all regaining their unconsciousness.

Cosmic Consciousness: The Ultimate Goal

2008-01-03T00:20:00.004-07:00

(...from the book, "Mind Magic," by Marta Hiatt.)

Spirit has been progressively evolving through the atomic, mineral,
plant, and animal phases, and finally to humankind.

It appears that it still has one more phase of development
before it finally merges back into itself, the All.

This sixth phase is termed the Cosmic or Divine phase of creation.

… Cosmically conscious men and women
were living in a state of awareness far advanced
over those of the ordinary people we deal with
in our everyday existence, those who are locked into the human phase
and cannot conceive of anything beyond the material world.

Cosmic consciousness means
the state of awareness or knowledge you have
when you become consciously aware
of the organization of the universe
and of your oneness with it.

Furthermore, you will be able to translate this knowledge
into a living experience.

There are three forms, or levels, of consciousness: simple, self, and cosmic;
and we can symbolically place everything that exists on this continuum.

The first section represents the lowest forms of life
with just simple consciousness
---from inorganic matter to the least evolved human being,
primitive man.

The second portion begins with primitive man
and ends with the highest type of individual,
such as Albert Schweitzer, Buddha, or Socrates.

The third portion represents the lowest type of cosmic consciousness
on up to the fully developed divine awareness
typifying the perfect human being.

Everyone is situated on this scale.

… Down through the ages there have been a number of individuals
who have developed this power of transcendent realization.

Some of them are chronicled in an extremely interesting 1901 book,
Dr. Maurice Bucke’s Cosmic Consciousness.

It provides an extensive history of the Illuminati
before the twentieth century. …

He explores the lives of people such as Spinoza, Emerson,
Walt Whitman, Dante, Buddha, and Christ. …

Dr Bucke writes:

“…Along with the conciousness of the cosmos
there occurs an intellectual enlightenment
or illumination
which alone would place the individual
on a new plane of existence
---would make him almost a member
of a new species. …”

… Dr. Thurman Fleet, founder of Concept-Therapy, states:

“,,,There are many other masters or illuminated souls
engaged in other work, both on this plane,
and on many other planes of existence,
who are interested in helping to advance
the consciousness of the world.”

To move into the Divine or Cosmic Phase,
one must develop and learn to rely on intuition.
… The bargain intuition drives is that it will serve you,
if you serve it.

… We must become increasingly aware of the inner world
and constantly tune our consciousness toward it.
What we are seeking is habitual, spiritual consciousness:
a constant awareness of our oneness with all of life.

Dr Bucke states:

“The immediate future of our race is indescribably hopeful.

The germ of cosmic consciousness
has been planted in many individuals;
and as this germ grows, more and more people
will come into an understanding of this higher state
until finally the majority of the race will have
some degree of cosmic knowledge.

… Men and women will know that God is within them;
that the world is ruled by immutable laws,
and by knowing the laws they will know that it
is beneficial to obey them.

… Each day lived will be a day dedicated to the Divine;
… knowing that the entire universe with all its good
exists for, and belongs to it, forever.

Each person will come to know that
violation of spiritual laws does not pay.

… Peace and happiness will be abundant everywhere.”

Cosmic consciousness comes to the person who learns,
and lives by, the higher spiritual principles that govern life.

… You must become one with the cosmic by obeying the laws involved.

You may have a very great desire to attain cosmic consciousness,
but … the will must be trained over and over again until,
by a natural habit, it will do the bidding of the higher self.

… When a person is a disciple of the higher path,
he or she must be resolute about the quest.

... Until the will has been sufficiently trained and developed,
all progress is rendered utterly impossible.

… When people seek enlightenment with single-mindedness,
they are sure to get it.

… Spirit is limited by the medium through which it expresses itself

… Its expression through our medium depends upon
the condition of that medium.

… Through constantly learning to contact our inner self,
we can get our life in tune
with the Great Conductor of the Universe,
thereby becoming a perfect expression of Spirit Within.

This is our task as human beings.

In one Concept-Therapy texts, Dr. Fleet states that:

“There seems to come a time for all of us when
… our attention reverts to the world within.

Trying to figure out a solution to the problems of life,
we become seekers after truth.
… If we persist in our journey,
we finally become aware
of the orderly arrangement of the universe.

We become cognizant of a great, all-pervading Power
which rules everything.

… No longer does the material world absorb all our attention.
Something new has come into our lives.
… We then enter the path leading to cosmic consciousness.

` New life seems to come: our vitality is rejuvenated;
we eagerly absorb all that we can.

We study, we meditate,
and in our studying and meditation we find,
here and there, a bit of truth.

… At long last one great truth dawns upon us:
the world and everything in it
is governed and operates by laws
---great cosmological principles.

… We will find that which we have long sought,
the truth of the cosmic organization.

We take a firm hold on
the Eternal Principles of Natural law:
… an awareness of the One.”

This, then, is our goal,
the goal toward which we are all striving,
whether or not we are aware of it.

Spiritual men and women are the saviors of the world,
and the spiritual person is also the creative one.

… That individual’s life and thought proceed
from the spiritual realm
, thus bringing a creative life into the world
that is not dictated by the lives of others;
it is an original creation.

The truly spiritual person always changes the world in some way.
… (Plato, Kant, Schweitzer, Spinoza, … Walt Whitman)

It is the experience of the Infinite that enable us
to break through the isolation, anxiety, and estrangement
of self-conscious existence.

Spirit is all-pervasive in the universe,
and we are totally dependent upon this consciousness
for our existence.

In the certainty of the knowledge
of the omnipresent Spirit,
we can achieve inner peace.

… The conscious awareness that
everything and everyone is its existence
means that we are in a holy place
even when we are in the most worldly place;
for everything is rooted in the Divine Life.

… When you fully understand the real meaning
that you are a radiant expression
of the Divine Spirit in manifestation,
your behavior is always governed
by that one central concept.

… To what have you dedicated your life, your thoughts and actions?

That is your true religion.

… That person’s entire existential relationship to life
will be motivated, governed, and directed
by his inner, existential relationship to the Divine;
thus, it would be impossible to be unfaithful
to that illuminated understanding. ...

… It will not be an easy job,
but a lifelong struggle
requiring endless vigilance and rigorous self-discipline
for we are indeed giving up a part of ourselves
---our egotism.

… We must be prepared to analyze our emotional make-up
and systematically eliminate all of our negative, destructive traits.

… There is a probationary period we must go through
before achieving enlightenment
and being led into the full illumination.

… It evolves through a person by a natural process
as one evolves his or her own consciousness
through studying, meditation, and living life.

Once we make the conscious decision
to align ourselves with the spiritual world,
persistently endeavoring to overcome our lower nature,
we seem to receive help from some unseen force.

… We can feel safe in believing that help will come to us
through one avenue or another.

… If we persist in our determination,
in our single-mindedness,
insight and strength will come to us
in various ways and from various sources.

… In a sublime sense,
when we study the works of great thinkers
who have crossed the threshold before us,
our insight is awakened through appreciating theirs;
and we may discover inner realms they long ago explored.

…. Very few people have the necessary determination
to keep on with the struggle until they discover
the light on the path.

Usually an aspirant for the higher consciousness
has been brought to it by suffering much
from the superficialities of the world.

… Suffering makes her long for a higher life,
and her inner cry is heard echoing throughout the universe!.

She is then led here and there
to the knowledge that will enable her
to find the higher path.

… She begins to attract assistance to herself.
Through the medium of the laws of resonance and vibration,
she draws to herself kindred souls,
from this plane and others,
who enrich her mentally and spiritually. …

…. He knows intuitively that clinging to the lower self
will mean that the path will be beset with difficulties
and repeated pains, sorrows, and disappointments.

At times, while fighting the inner battle,
he secures brief glimpses of the beauty
of the spiritual realm;
… realizes that he can no longer harm others
because all life is One.

… Simultaneously, this person recognizes
that helping another
also means helping himself,
and the truth of “It is more blessed to give than to receive.”
becomes a reality in his life.

Dr. Fleet states:

“…Having entered the region of reality,
you will accomplish everything without striving,
and all problems will easily be faced and handled by you.

You will concern yourself not with changing events,
but with the unchanging principle behind all things.

… You will enter into possession of the knowledge of higher worlds. …”

An all-embracing affirmation I particularly like is:
“I am becoming aware of my oneness with the Infinite.”

… You might try saying this affirmation as you fall asleep each night:
you’ll be surprised at the difference it will make in your life! …

… Eventually, some day, in another dimension of awareness,
we shall achieve the final destiny of the evolution of consciousness,
complete unity of Spirit with itself,
the merging of our self-consciousness back into the One,
but with greater understanding and enlightenment.

As Dr. Fleet states:

“… When we realize the profound simplicity of spiritual consciousness,
and have an unbiased, tranquil, blessed state of mind,
we will know that whatever happens to us is for our own good.

We will be content, and no longer the servant of the self,
but the servant of the Divine.

We will have nothing to defend, nothing to conceal,
nothing to attack, and no interests to guard,
therefore, we will be at peace.”

To become one with the Infinite is the goal of man,
and is a far greater possession
than anything else the world has to offer.

The man or woman who attains it will know the secret of immortality.

Might Appear To Be Sad

It might appear to be sad on the face of it.
But the Spirit's here...saying..."Relax, my friend; you can hang with it."

So I sit here waiting...for yet another miracle.
If it wasn't for what I've seen,...I'd probably have no faith at all.

Sometimes I think it was easier...when it was just a dream.
I understand, Sister Morphine,...sometimes things ain't what they seem.

I guess I keep going through with it,...since I ain't got no better plan.
Wonderin' if there'll ever come a time...in which they'll understand.

Yeah, I guess I keep going through with it,...since I ain't got no better plan.
Wonderin' if there'll ever come a time...in which she'll understand.

Slammin' Into Jupiter

2007-06-11T23:21:00.001-07:00

Slammin' into Jupiter
Or something even stupider,
Heard they're gonna name the new star, Lucifer.

As I'm fuckin' my baby on the roof,
Wonderin' how long it takes for light to travel...
From Jupiter to here.

8 minutes? 18 minutes?
I don't know.
She tells me I should just let it go.

Think it's got something to do with the time zone in Egypt.

As we enter the millenium, I pray that I'm ripped.

If we could both come together on cue,
It'd make a helluva show.

I hear Jupiter's a big fucken planet.
I hear it's a lot of plutonium, supposedly.

It's fashionable for people to make fun...
When you say "conspiracy."

Guess we'll have to wait and see.
One of us is right...either me or she.

Creating a new star...
Just to see how stupid all the people are.
Y2K and poor old Jupiter, what can I say?

I can only pray I'm ripped and getting laid...
By my baby that day.

Yeah, I think it's got something to do with the time zone in Egypt.

As we enter the millenium, I pray that I'm ripped.

If we could both come together on cue,
It'd make a helluva show; but I don't know.

Either way if I'm getting laid, I won't feel gyped.

Slammin' into Jupiter...
Or something even stupider,
Heard they're gonna name the new star, Lucifer.

As I'm fuckin' my baby on the roof, wonderin' how long...
It takes for light to travel from Jupiter to here?

8 minutes? 18 minutes?
I don't know.
Sure wish I could just let it go.

pipe dreams

2007-06-11T22:43:00.000-07:00

Of all the times for things to be familiar and stupid.
This dumbness just might bore me to death.
I keep having the same dream in which I'm significantly drunk & stoned.
And God's smoking crystal meth.

Kinda like the fog rollin' into San Francisco.
I stare at God starin' down the pipe.
I'm busy praying for a better day, and I'm...
Trying not to believe the hype.

No bitches and broke. Reality.
You know it's getting on my nerves, too.
Makes me kinda wanna bust heads when I'm asleep or awake.
And, I'm sure it's not the appropriate thing to do.

But, I could use a useful dream sometime.
And maybe a couple of lucky breaks in reality.
Being a sorry dog dying of "nice guy syndrome."
I'm having a little trouble with the duality.

mind unturns

2007-06-11T22:31:00.000-07:00

Up like a 7
Comin' back from heaven
Singin' damned if I do...or if I don't.

Rather talk to Russians in the evening
Than listen to Rush in the morning
I've got my Sprite,...I've got my Orange Crush.

Can't believe the trees' leaves have all left
And that left is right is wrong...
Still wonderin' where what I never had went.

I've spent the last hour trying to wake up
Hearing half the words to this song, I try to make up....
The rest, as I pray my mind unturns from mush.

I smoke this bong for my lady...
Though the odds are she won't know.
That with this hit the world is free...
Like it was a long time ago.

I can see her,...just like a clear day...
Beauty as it really should be.
Wonder if there'll ever come a time...
In which she's ready for me.

I dreamed I was awake...
And stumbling around in a dream.
And that today was game day...
And there only was one team.

I'M ON TRIAL IN MY DREAMS
EVERYBODY'S GOT A BONE THEY WANNA PICK WITH ME
I JUST HOPE IT'S A FRIENDLY BONE
GODDESS HAVE MERCY

I can feel the breeze,...through this dry heat...
A quiet peace cools my veins.
Creeping up on the caravan up ahead...
Preparing to change lanes.

Sliding into home,...I close my eyes...
I start to slide.
Now I must be dreaming...
Because I'm on the other side.

Wow, it's not much different....

Than it was over there.

I can't believe I wanted to be. here so bad...

Would it matter if I even cared?

I'M ON TRIAL IN MY DREAMS
EVERYBODY'S GOT A BONE THEY WANNA PICK WITH ME
I JUST HOPE IT'S A FRIENDLY BONE
GODDESS HAVE MERCY

Ah, but today....is where we're at in time...
...And everything is fine.
Feeling the sun cooling us off...
...Feeling the moonshine.

There she was,...back in my head...
Where I left her ever since I met her.
So happy she's on my mind...
My thoughts couldn't be better.

Making love to my addictions...

Setting myself free.

Making myself likable...

So she'll want to be with me.

Remembering how I dreamed it...
Memories of the future in my head.
Someone told me life is depression.
If that's the case,...then I guess I'm dead.

I'M ON TRIAL IN MY DREAMS
EVERYBODY'S GOT A BONE THEY WANNA PICK WITH ME
I JUST HOPE IT'S A FRIENDLY BONE
GODDESS HAVE MERCY...

Fair Warning

2007-02-03T21:31:00.000-07:00

I'm sitting in a chair at the auction somewhere.
I'm not exactly sure why I'm here,
...but I think I know.

I'm sort of interested in learning about what things are worth,
...sort of.
I am becoming fascinated by what people are throwing away daily.

As my friend, Michael, said,..."There are a thousand reasons why people throw things away, and that 'they're broken or are bad' are only a couple of the reasons."

It's amazing what value certain things have in certain people's lives based on what's going on in their present reality at any given time.

"Fair warning to you,"
...I hear the auctioneer call out.

"Ten dollars bid here, now 12 and a half,
...I sold them, sold them,...at ten dollars."

I actually probably should have brought a Walkman.

I don't actually feel like buying today, for the exception of a 6-pack of Moosehead.
For my head. Oh yeah.

I am actually in a good mood today.
And, that's probably 'cause I'm fucked up,
and it's only 9:15 a.m....in the morning.

...... FAIR WARNING TO YOU ......

Yeah, I'm still at the auction.

Still, I've been thinking as to how to properly understand timing.

As I sit in this
green chair.

As I'm writing, I hope the Spirit realizes that I am saying I'm ready to transcend a few levels now as I write.

D.J. just informed me he just bought a 4 X 4 for five.
So I think I know what he means.

Well, today could have been chaotic, but it appears it wasn't.
Not really.

So, the restaurant opens at 7:30 a.m.,...and there's no cook.

So, there's customers right when they open.

So.

The students are back,
...and all those girls.

I was wrong.
I didn't know what D.J. meant.

It's a toy blue electric toy 4-wheel drive off-road...did I mention toy...vehicle.
It's got a sticker on it that reads, "High Rider."

D.J. just came riding it down the aisle shooting a toy gun he just bought...shooting and cheering.

It was pretty funny.

I guess it needs a battery.
Maybe it can be charged.

I think I'm hungry, and I have to write down the quotes from yesterday,
and put up new ones,...actually.

Sometimes I know I'm happy.

Saw a good movie last night.
With Mr. Jay and Marilyn.
About computer hacking.

They tapped into Richard Nixon's account...bank account or something,
and had him...or actually his account...donate and transfer significant funds to the Coalition to Legalize Marijuana.
This happened right as the movie started; and I got a kick out of it.
Boy, do I have to take a piss.

Your money or your life. I mean, your money or your wife.

Surrender Dorothy.

Life is merely pudding...

2007-01-20T23:55:00.000-07:00

The harder I try...I can't be serious,
By the time my pen hits the paper.
The only people that lived on my street,
Moved to get away from their neighbor.

I'm the one they warned me about,
And probably warned you, too.
Raindrops keep falling on my head,
And there ain't much of nothing
I can do.

To write a serious song requires a serious person,
But, all I'm down with is my ringing head.
In my sobriety society, I nurse my beer,
And try to ignore what I've said.

Hit a time warp today, and found myself with 4 hours,
Thought I'd knock out a song and slam two beers..
The relevancy of what I have to say today,
Doesn't add up to my years.

Maybe getting soft, my neck's getting tight,
Still walk with a stiff upper lip.
In this life I push up, and then bench press my luck,
And on thin ice, I pray I don't slip.

Seems my songs all rhyme in the same particular manner...
My night job's description's that of a day planner...
The play-by-play of the universe, I hear on the police scanner...
Angel of mercy tried to fix my halo, but inevitably I outran her.

Oh, to have the common sense of a houseplant,
The cracks in my helmet need all the duct tape on earth,
Chickens and their heads...and a world in between,
Wild Berry Skittles...more death and more birth.

My head hurts...I'm stupid,
Second beer turned to three.
I laugh 'cause I don't know better,
Moms keep your kids away from me.

I'm a bad influence...I'm sure.
And...I'm definitely immature.
Any advice that I give is pure...
Just like that of manure.

A buzz and an attitude,
Is 'bout all I can get out of this riddle,
Called life...and the secret's...
Not being caught in the middle.

Shrug it off.
If you have to, ...cough.
Buy the next round.
And turn that frown upside down.

Load the bong.
And try to sing us a song.
Oh, yeah,...and remember left is right,
And sometimes...right is wrong.

Life is merely pudding.

Try not to put your head in it.
Eat it. Don't wear it.
Although I'm muttering, I swear it.

It's still just...
...merely pudding.

What truly horrible
lives they must live."

Just Laid There

2007-01-09T00:49:00.000-07:00

Ripped on bonghits.
Laying on my side.
Somethin' 'bout the mornin'.
And my brain being perfectly fried.

Clutchin' on a pillow.
Did I mention feeling perfectly ripped?
The world around me flipped upside down.
As the figment of mind that I call me, tripped,...

And just laid there.

...and she comes with instructions.

Headlines, Deadlines and Breadlines

2007-01-05T13:12:00.000-07:00

(the incomplete version)

We got a deadline.
We need a headline.
We can't go with the one about the breadline.

...
...

Gotta divide everybody.
Into at least two sides.
To fight over the irrelevant.
While the media hides.

The truth about anything.
Important to anybody.
And present polls that are rigged.
To help you decide.

Choose between two things.
It's the illusion of choice.
You can say what you want.
But, you're not allowed a voice.

The priest is the pimp.
Both sinner and saint pay the man.
But, you won't hear it on the news.
'Cause it's their master plan.

Go Fish

She left a note saying,
"Later. I'm gone.
Maybe you can catch me
down in Mexico."
...
Which I took to mean
that by tomorrow,
she'll be in Canada.

Here's Your Sign

2007-01-05T13:00:00.000-07:00

She had a sign and a fucked-up umbrella.
And the sign read: "I'll pay 20 cents for 2 miles.
Let's carpool."

Rain on the Parade

2007-01-05T12:49:00.000-07:00

They threw a parade for Nixon,

I guess 'cause Kissinger wasn't dead, yet.

Crooked results of a twisted youth,

And waking up with the bed wet.

Learned Last Night

2007-01-05T12:37:00.001-07:00

I learned last night, that my son already knew...
'Bout all the things in life; I didn't have a clue.

I heard it from an angel;...I heard it from a wise man...
I heard it from my executioner;...now I know I understand.

Like a guy on a raft, floating out to sea....
I thought the land was moving away....
So busy forgetting I was on a raft....
Now seeing the obvious, what can I say?

Except last night I finally realized...
That I have a point of view.
It's like I had to be hit over the head with a brick....
For me to know what to do.

I still might have a fighting chance,...
Now that I realized I fucked up bad.
But, I got a lot of fixin' to do....
And, I'm dead, if I don't get mad.

I sure owe a lot of people...
I've gotta make things right.
Even if it comes close to killing me,....
And I have to stay up every day and night.

'Cause I learned last night..that my son already knew.
...
About all the things in life...
I didn't have a clue.
