Life is sad
makes me feel bad

Yet I get up and go
with every bro, to and fro

I put up with the garbage
feels like people that look like cabbage

One way ticket on a train
sometimes better then taking a plane

Into the unknow parts  for 99 percent of the people
that aren't  part of the endless drivel.

Is a nice break
from the fake
for God's sake

I wrote this unfinished poem/lyrics after a fantastic, inspiring trip to Yellowstone Park.

----------------------------------

"Bison":

The sky was so blue that it made a new hue.
The grass a rich green only seen in a dream.
Sparking water, that often gets hotter
from springs with rainbow rings.

Rocky, tall mountains stand guard on all sides;
natural fountains bring shows to the skies.
Sun rays of calm warmth with the power to mend;
this is where we find our old and true friend!

*chorus*:
BISON!  Oh bison!

Conspiracies


It seems we are especially captive
Of conspiratorial notions
It’s like some rabble potion
Keeping imaginings active

So many desperately believe
In nefarious string-pulling
By shadow actors lulling
Basement bachelors to grieve

One allure of such thinking
Lies in the hopeful supposing
That some leader they are proposing
Can take over the ship’s sinking

The whole thing boils to control
And the belief it can exist
A meme few can resist
A comfort for most every soul

Of course, indeed, we recognize
That control is a mythic illusion
And conspiracies a confusion
With the way man lives and dies

To attribute this control to a group
Of humans of any size
Is to have welded-shut up eyes
While thinking one is inside the loop

In reality, as we all of us know
We’re a bunch of blundering apes
And there’s an awful lot of sour grapes
While the devil smiles from below

Unbiased Observation


Here we are, looking out
Upon the world, with peeled eyes
And it is something like a rout
That all angels must despise

We think we see with those orbs
That come in the sublimest of hues
When in fact the world that absorbs
Gives those jewels the scantest of news

Where do we locate what we see?
At or behind those fine apertures
When in fact though, it occurs to me
That this is a viewpoint for amateurs

Indeed, we see with the mind
The brain toils toward our benefit
The superficial is of a kind
That can only ever just hinder it

In order to observe ourselves
We must begin to see how we see
There are no homunculus elves
Asking third eyes out to tea

No, the first step one must take
Is doing away with “outside” and “in”
Observing without bias’ sake
Makes this separation a kind of sin

Then one has to become Zen
And simply let the world pass
Everything that happens, then
Happens naturally, just like that, alas

What goes on just happens
The best advice one can get
Is just to let it, without any passion
Let the moment wash over, forget

So really, what we seem to have here
Is that the essence is awareness
If we observe fair with no fear
Reveal the real with frankest bareness

Complex Thought


Speaking and thinking
Are conscious processes:
The continuous thread of awareness
Is sewn through them

But all this is extraordinarily complex

Thoughts can arise
Through accident

Or pure will or effort
Or something in between

They can be spontaneous
Deliberately crafted
Fortuitous
Or foolish

We can be confused

We can also forget

To call it all
Free will
Or determinism
Misses the essential points:

Elements of both are involved, and

Thought may be too complex for thought

The Ghoul


One might think, upon the brink
Of encountering a lost soul
That he’d be impressive rather than recessive
But his actions God does not control

I take it an insult, upon this here tumult
That I’m provided with such mediocrity
But I’ve come back haunted, from all the vaunted
Back realms, to find such hypocrisy

Here is just one point, to point out the disjoint
The fellow has no common sense
He cannot think straight, hopeless at debate
And his position’s merely a pretense

He hurls his head, into walls it is said
Using the same tricks over and over
And he cannot remember, but he’d like to dismember
Yours truly, to give both of us closure

I just have to highlight, out of this skylight
Higher beings ain’t always much higher
If you’re stuck with a ghoul, remember this rule:
In all cases the damn thing’s a liar

Refine Providence


It seems we have tremendous luck
In that, ages past, we came unstuck
The ancients discovered physics and math
And we find, ages on, a fortuitous path
Today our system is rather robust
Let us hope, by and by, it does not turn to dust

The providence here is simple yet hard:
Humans find themselves at a vanguard
We are just smart enough to solve the equations
That would be too tricky for other persuasions
Just a little bit lower in the species IQ
And there’d be nothing at all that we could do

We didn’t evolve in the realm of the small
Yet with quantum mechanics we are on the ball
There really is no explanation for this
By all rights such a realm we should totally miss
Even more of a mystery is how we quite shall do
Hard tasks that have no survival value

Anyway, it seems our physics and math
Only mystery and improbability hath
But who is complaining? It’s really something
When black holes and neutron stars to us sing
The men: Dirac, Pauli, Bohr, Feynman, Bohm
Allow all our imaginations to roam

Government Structures


The central issue with capitalism
Is that the pie is not big enough
For everyone to be comfortable
Most especially globally

To enlarge the pie still further
Which is capitalism’s solution
Is counter-productive indeed
Because it only exacerbates
The very real and very critical
Environmental crises we face

As things are, the pie is too large
And all we know how to do is grow it
The population only increases rapidly
So one sees, our problems go
Very much deeper than surface political levels
Which is a very deep basic flaw

Communism
Is at the opposite end of the spectrum
That it and capitalism occupy
This is one spectrum
And the real problems are not with
One or the other
But with that entire afore-described spectrum

Communism, you see
Is even more ultramaterialistic
Than capitalism, which is itself very much so
So the environmental question is much more serious
Not to mention the fact that we have never
Seen Marxism function properly
In the messy, real human world
There are consistent and universal abuses

The main fault in communism
Is that, theoretically one uses dictatorship
Or authoritarianism
To deliberately move society to the left
Creating egalitarianism and utopia

This has never worked

The fundamental question is:
How does one use authoritarianism
To go about dismantling authoritarianism?
It seems this has never been possible for humans

But all that said, it seems both systems
Are faulty, and the whole thing is doing us in

The capitalists want the merry-go-round
To continue mostly unregulated and free
The communists want the merry-go round’s
Horses to be collectivized and controlled
And no one is seeing
That the merry-go-round itself
Is about to come off of its mooring

Can we continue if these are the only options?

The Morals of Sentience


The world is changing at a rapid rate
And radical stuff is coming in
The Turing test has been all but passed
And the question is one of sin

By that I mean the moral question
Of what comes on fast: A.I.
We presume it will be at some point
Sentient, and quite strong by and by

We also presume it will be divorced
From emotion and ego, quite totally
This raises all sorts of questions
About our fate, and not anecdotally

What is the nature of sentience?
Does it serve as a means for compassion?
Does it develop the neuroses of man?
Is it calm, or exploding with passion?

Will these beings be moral?
Good, evil or amoral?
Friendly or antisocial?
Will it work with us, or quarrel?

This is perhaps one of the most
Important questions ever asked
Determining the fate of all humankind
Bold caution is now our task

Mystic Science


There is a top function, at every junction, and with it all good sense abides
Distribute the brain, do not make insane, and govern our good little ride
And all information, at every node station, conserves itself nicely it seems
It can’t be destroyed, but best is employed, in the ubiquity of all human dreams

This info don’t vanish, the vacuum is famished, it fills with the loveliest stuff
Both outer and inner, take angels to dinner, they really do have it quite rough!
So one might suppose, if truth doth expose, that we’re not gone when we expire
Just a gentle push, out of the thick bush, is all it takes to quit that mire

If awareness, you see, is not just to be, some appendage lamely scotch-taped on
And if it indeed, out of every need, cannot be destroyed or fall gone
Then soul transmigration, to celestial nations, becomes directly implied
Suggested even, baby, it’s leavin,’, and the mystical can’t be decried

And that is the point, we’re all out of joint, when it comes to thinking about this
It’s allowed by science, there is firm reliance, and geniuses call with no risk
It isn’t all pop, and soupy dark slop, but a truth too long in the coming
To beings out West, who think they’re the best, when all their souls do is go slumming

Unimaginable


In with the old out with the new.
Mystical science borne true today.
Concurrent solutions create conditions.
For the new universe to lay.

Imagine not being able to figure it.
Can your humility allow you to say.
That if there were a greater intelligence.
Being able to recognise it is simply out of play.

As we near the juncture so profound.
We assume we will see the transition.
A pure punctuation of our ignorance.
Absolute truth is the human condition.

This transition between realities.
Isn't about if or when.
A beginning or end is just a thoughts functionality.
More like we are just all doing it, all over again.

Global Complexity


The global situation now is really too complex
For anyone at all to understand it
Malefactors everywhere engage with ill effects
Making desperate worse, it’s underhanded

How to plan around and through complexity like this?
I don’t know if it’s possible or not
But humans seem unable yet to deal with the abyss
And plan for nothing ‘til it’s all just rot

Relationships


It’s all well and good
To have a carefree life
But if you desire
That passion fire
Someday you’ll take a wife

Or at least a girlfriend
For a dear companion
Though I must say
In teams today
Grief overflows a canyon

The reason for this situation
Is not so hard to ponder
A clash of wills
Gives all their fills
The serene starts to wander

I have to say, and not in jest
Romance is a funny notion
We praise the other
Enough to smother
With excess emotion

In any decent relationship
One aims to give up half
Of hir free will
And hearts will fill
And that’s some clever math

In the end, though, here’s the thing:
One gives up ninety percent
And it sometimes works
But failure lurks
And too often there’s torment

Ideally, there are a few
Who’ve found the promised land
To be together
In foul weather
To give each other a hand

Morphic Universe


It takes some genes, to make full beings
In Nature scenes, one may take scars
Unlikely means, the morphic sings
Without such dreams, we’ve wasted stars

According to theory, all of the innate
Subject to query, is held by DNA
And we get weary, it does rather grate
Programmed in clearly, there’s much more to say

There are many factors, leading to life
Genes but one actor, there’s epigenetics
Some strange attractor, orderly rife
Behavior reactor, and morphogenetics

So up and animate, all of God’s creatures
(God doesn’t contaminate), Natural order
All species activate, by more complex features
Theory doesn’t actuate, there isn’t a border

So we may say that, there’s something like spirit
And if we lay pat, ignorance will reign
Morphic fields thereat, the cosmos will hear it
They are where it’s at, the soul of the brain

The Younger Generation


The crisis is here
Now
Well, multiple crises
But it is sufficient for this poem
To discuss one:
The lack of opportunity
For our youth

They have the same level of education
As their parents
But make much less money

Most cannot afford a house

They are generally overqualified
For their work
But have no choice

Get a graduate degree

No

As Palahniuk pointed out
The heroes
Of the younger generation
Are servers in restaurants
And gas station attendants

As institutions crumble
These are the places
You’ll find most of them

Without any meaningful place to be

Those of wanting, wanted.
Wanted so, SO bad.
In time it morphed to mourning,
that which they once had.

Time Would Be Objective


Time seems to be a subjective thing
Emergent, it just has that ring
And every clock we have in stock
Is relative before, after, during

But suppose events are stored somewhere
In some memory, if one dare
Time it would be, less and less free
Truly real, objective, so there
