Time

Amuses me
Am free

Yet serves a purpose

The ability to grow and progress
despite all that I have transgressed

Eyes get open for those willing to see
the only reason we choose to be here and our spirituality

Leave your judgements at the door
no one wants to hear them, as they are a bore

the flow within and creation ongoing
fountains always flowing and growing

Past the deceits of the unknowing.

War


From the dawn of civilization
Through all of history
All we seem to be able to do
Is fight and fight

As Bierce said
Peace
Is a period of cheating
Between two periods of fighting

As long as
There is money
Territory and resources
And enemies to be seized

And as long as it is this species
Running the show
Manufacturing weapons above all else
Then there will be war after war

I do not have the temerity
To attempt to convey
Any sort of picture or feeling
Of the horror of the experience

But I do think
This world has become too small for
Such idiocy
And yet the idiots yet prosecute their schemes

Let us pray fervently
Atheist or no
That through accident, miscalculation or madness
No one ever ignites the Big One

Because
Between you and me
There is no coming back from that
Word to the wise

The Morals


Morals form a system, many do not miss them
If in youth indeed some were acquired
They mostly are convention, and this circumvention
Must be for honest souls a thing required

Indeed, they are external, and rather quite infernal
At least the ones that the cultures share
But there is a remedy, from popular enmity
Indeed, we must replace, our soul to bare

Authentic morality, transcending banality
Is a matter that comes from within
Exercise compassion, gather proper traction
And redefine what it means to sin

One can thus consider, no need to embitter
That religion does not quite show the way
All of their injunctions, just lead to dysfunctions
And the individual hasn’t a say 

A proper sense of right, does not preclude delight
And it requires only the internal
The truth disclosed to one, is like a phantom Sun
And seeing and being become eternal

The Man Who Would Be King


From solider to knave, criminal to king
Peachy and Daniel formulate plans
Which in the end would more than sting

They’re going to take Kafiristan!
And take it they did, crown and ring
Dravot and Carnahan!

Sons of Alexander, a Freemason thing
But blood from their bird in the hand
Erased all their land gains and bling

There is a moral here, easy to impart:
Do not yourself in before you even start!

Should


The weakest word in the language is “should”
It’s not have to, or needn’t or must
And if I could banish it I think I would
For clarity, meaning I lust

You see, we might draw up a phrase like this:
“The Earth should be pleasant and fair,”
But that’s as compelling as wind-laden piss
It means zilch!—Should’s a sterile affair!

Ecology


One thing it seems we can all agree on:
The environment is in crisis

The crux is, humans are stimulating
Certain ecological variables,
While draining and destroying others

What isn’t simply destroyed
Is brought into tremendous imbalance
With respect to affiliated variables

There are two salient problems:
No one knows what will ultimately happen
Nor how to fix what has happened, and is yet to happen

Superficial remedies clearly will not work
And it seems to me that it is rather late in the game
To repair what’s been done

Or avert what else may be coming

So I suppose we’ll have to see what happens

A.I.


This whole thing is real, and coming like a locomotive
To the cybernetic collective, alien will be time
Will it have an ego or be in some way emotive?
In any case, by now we needn’t any further sign

The McKennas and Kurzweil endorse something like the timewave
It was set to 2012 to coincide with Mayan feeling
This timewave is a fractal so not much like any sinewave
In any case in that year we did not do any reeling

But hold on, because the endpoint could be off a little farther
The concept doesn’t die because it’s thirty years advanced
Novelty and habit become orthogonal partners
And the final singularity is like a furnace dance

In any case, preceding stanzas are a bit abstruse
We have to wonder: Will it really like us or dislike us?
Or be very indifferent; we are hitched on at caboose
Cooperation? Or will it somehow, some way, strike us?

We are in a phase now with people paying attention
In ten years’ time, all of this will look like child’s play
Accelerate or brake? Among experts there’s dissension
Perhaps a restoration of the Earth to light of day?

In any case, the revolution is underway now
There’s not much reason for either alarm or for hope
Humanity may not have a place, can only just say wow
But Fate has something special in her novelty scope

Reflex and Intent


Surely, a primary component
(With many an outspoken exponent)
Is reflex action behavior
Skinner to many’s a savior
Pavlov, too, a central actor
In psychology, an essential factor
And these are not wrong, no
But there’s more than one ring in a show
A circus, that is, and psych is one
But behaviorism’s under the gun

In the spirit of, say, William James
Intent is the name of the game
Intentional generation of actions
Is the by-line of many a faction
Surely, at times we have will
A yogi, he has his fill

So we have both reflex and intent
Why not? By the truth it is meant
That it needn’t be one or the other
The truth is a most fecund mother
We get stuck in the Aristotelian
While reality’s like a chameleon
We’d do well to include all the colors
Sometimes humans are really such dullards!
The moral: Include all the facets
Or ignorance, you shall amass it!

The Vienna Circle


The notion was, it seems to me
That nothing is quite real
The factual
Is actual
And that’s it: the whole deal

And what I mean by this, you see
Is the objective’s really subjective
Only the empirical
(Never esoterical)
Is the only thing that’s prospective

You have all of your Wittgensteins
And all of your Ernst Machs
Who declare, you see
Math’s arbitrary
Any other notion is mocked

And your Paulis and your Heisenbergs
And Bohrs and Borns and such
Who declare the apparatus
The thing that begat us
Every truth we cannot touch

But then we have instead our Gödels
Who feel things are more concrete
Nature's objective
God is corrective
And math is incomplete

The Universe is Out There


The universe really is out there
But I suppose most do not know it
One thinks it is, but is one sure?
Philosophers tend to blow it

One might say all is illusion
The real, a vibrating gray
The realm of science, dead material
Perception is night and not day

But all this is reductionism
A denial and death of the whole
Gotta put Humpty together again
Human consciousness does have a role

Nonlocally, we know the truth
That being and light are inherent
Finally, it all comes full-circle
The actual is the apparent

Extinction


The notion of species extinction
Really doesn’t bother me much
We have reached the distinction
Of ruining all that we touch
At the very least let’s have constriction
Of poverty, suffering and such

Will it ever be enough?
It seems that every dysfunction
Leaves everything extremely rough
We do not show much compunction
Though we certainly seem to act tough
But our system—then, now—doesn’t function

Now, I do have reservations, though
About just when we retire
Like I said, extinction’s just death, so
If just one or all have expired
It’s all the same, throw your yarrow
For the last time out of the mire

These reservations I mention
Are very specific indeed
We must first offer an abstention
From holocaust, then proceed
From the realm above’s intervention
It’s something that we will sure need

And I hope that the future’s potential
We do not then recklessly abort
We can square this with modern torrential
Artificial intel’s retorts
These are the primary essentials
For a future luxury resort

So in sum, we all have to die
To die out, with no harm, is the same
If success remains by and by
And the Earth’s in a positive frame
We’ll leave a worthy legacy
And finally give our poor selves a name

Entanglement


Entanglement is spooky
But real, anyhow
To study it’s not kooky
I say to Nature: “Wow!”

It’s sort of like telepathy
Among objects in space
A physicist a deputy
Recording weird apace

Quantum computation
And the human brain
Rely on information
We cannot yet explain

These nonlocal systems
Link coherently
The Cosmos in Her wisdom
Makes wholeness the key

Life is great at times like at the present.
Two vacations booked and planned for the Summer
After the endless Covid bummer.

Optimistic and feeling good
As people should.

Take for granted the United States.
But still better than most of the shit in the world.
All coming unfurled
I giant ass being showed by a man that can't walk to the countries
worse than all of the fallacies

So on to vacations and poor me
living in a somewhat great country

Endlessly feel sorry for me.

I have to figure this new tent out
nothing to do but endlessly poubt
In this country of endless doubt

People will figure it out.

And if they don't fuck off.

Good Behavior


Sociobiologists have a certain view
They think that genes are the right and true
When it comes to determining behavior
(Ernest O. Wilson is a virtual Savior)
But I think these folks need a little clue
To be so one-sided is failure

Anthropologists on the other hand
Utilize memes to make their stand
Feeling behavior to be cultural
Exclusively, multicultural
Every human in the land
Has a brain thus structural

One or t’other, it always goes
That’s the human in his flows
The truth is hovering somewhere between
It’s necessary to have a naked gene
And with it culture to give it clothes
Else nothing would be put across the screen

The Aristocrat


In times galore long distant
Some were aristocrats for good reason
Whether well-bred, or a brilliant head
Logical class was in season

Today we have nothing like that
The clarion call is all money
Your bank balance, and not your talents
Is considered by all to be sunny

Now, how that money is gotten
Is certainly here germane
But the rich are nit-wits, with only a fitness
To do what got them their gain

So we have our Mark Cubans
And Bill Gateses (and Donald Trumps)
These men are not, as if one forgot
Aristocrats at all, just cash pumps

Indeed they are just businessmen
There are not many examples
Of Renaissance men, virtue to defend
In fact, over virtue they trample

So this right here is the sort of thing
That defined traditional aristocracy
We’ve not got the fitness, as God is our witness
And we’re living in an idiocracy

No longer can cream be found at the top.
It has been replaced by fatty sugar lumps.
We continue to stir never settled non stop.
If only it were just our morning beverages that look and taste like trump.

I once asked a man whom was an elder within his space.
Why only he and a few others voted for the rest.
"As a father a grandfather and a man close to death.
Why would i let my son vote while he knows not of consequence."

We've devalued outcomes as if theyre perversely inescapable.
All while we laud our debauched jurisprudence.
Politically speaking its non debatable.
These sophistically laid structures of influence.

Idealistic


The forties roll along
And we make an atom bomb
Many of those near
Sought a way to quell the fear
Not the D.O.E.
Holler if ya hear me

No, some world commission
Had the docs’ attention
Work with all nations
Global cooperation
Regulate world energy
Holler if ya hear me

There would be no arms race
Yet everyone could save face
No huge stockpiles
Exercising Satan’s wiles
Avoid it if it could be
Holler if ya hear me

In just the same way
In about the same day
Metzer, Alpert and Leary
Upon getting rather cheery
Worked up a lovely theory
Holler if ya hear me

The idea was getting
Dosage, set and setting
Into a more mainstream
Scene with expert teams
No trifle, LSD
Holler if ya hear me

But all these wise people
Never got past the fetal
Stage of their grand plans
Too naïve, you understand
They were thinking ideally
Holler if ya hear me

So the drugs and the nukes
Became government spooks
And the people agreed
That programs that freed
Wouldn’t let the fear be

Holler if ya hear me
