Miracle To Change


sunrise

Given the tumultuous times we increasingly find our world in, it seems appropriate to give this long ago written poem another spin.  It speaks loudly to the want and hope that humanity recognize the trajectory of its present course that only a blind-fool would think it not toward inhuman sufferance; if not its outright demise:

Miracle To Change

As the world spins on its axis tilt
Twenty-four hours of blood to be spilt

Humanity’s participants long for the day
Brutality and evil will have gone away

If history speaks as loudly as it does
Bullets and famine will win to love

Turbulence and chaos reflected in the skies
Surprisingly some still naively ask `why?

Though beauty of flora and fauna still exist
As casket wreaths it spoils their bliss

Mankind towards destruction seems inclined
What miracle to change will it have to find?

Challenges To Distraction


GREED

Is uniformity to an abiding person inclined
If, always found, they colour between the lines?
Or, in this age of perceived subversion, we find;
The increase in surveillance, demands it be, critically defined.

Lexicon to this 21st Century, conspires to set the stage;
For the eclipse of the past, be it with a whimper or through rage;
The margins of tomorrow will go beyond the written page;
Ear-marked for destruction or, possibly, left living in a Cage!

Challenges to distraction, are losing to the bid;
Manufacture to its reasons: perception to forbid;
Rendering future minds naive, relentlessly morbid;
Pledging a society chaotic and, grievously sordid.

This query-story need not end on so dire a note;
There is gradual rise to reasonable minds espousing hope
But, there is the pervasive mental lethargy of the many, to cope;
For without so doing, it may become a downward slope!

Metallic Bird


metallic bird

Beautiful flight of metallic bird;
Beasts to their unsuspecting prey;
Thunderous loud a cry heard;
Death, destruction, waste laid.

Fierceness to belie swiftness of grace;
Oppressor to innocence, faces unseen;
Deliverance of fire, wrath of human place;
Marvel of creation in defiance of a dream.

Lost to time is history of true purpose;
Distortion of naive inventor’s gleam;
Beautiful flight of metallic bird curses;
What future, humanity, might have been.

The following documentary produced by the Passionate Eye provides an insightful examination of the political, religious and other elements in an attempt to clarify what is obviously, a complicated and dangerous issue for all countries affected.  Draw your own conclusions (if any are any to be had) as to who are the true antagonist vs protagonist in this growing conflict:

Consensus To Reason



Genesis to this living, 21st century, global financial problem
Is the matter intellectual minds strive but struggle to be resolve’n
Their Keynesian rationale to economic contributing factors
Derives diverse camps but many more detractors
All the while the middle class and lower take the brunt of the pain
Imposed by government austerity, wages reduced to levels insane
The wealth befalling the minority, corporate elite unwaveringly, continues to rise
Fueled by G20 political rhetoric that only serves to define and further the lies
The ultimate climax to this global human failing condition has yet to arrive
With the ensuing death and destruction of countless, innocent human lives.

Where Is The Justice?


Lynch the Bastards!

When considering that the majority, the common people, dutifully go about their mundane life performing meager jobs, for meager pay, responsibly pay their taxes and the rest put to survive frugally each day, have become victims. Then, through no fault of their own, save for having chosen to elect inept public officials who, through their own ignorance or corrupt manipulation, allow others, obviously wiser and mischievously corrupt, to drain the public treasury to the severe detriment of the same common people. Then, to add insult to injury, the same inept government officials turn to the common people advocating they must endure hardship to re-establish the depleted treasury, to restore programs of civility and healthy economy. All the while these same officials retain their high-paid salaries and entitlements including lucrative pension benefits should they chose out of shame, to retreat into retirement. And, as for the welfare corporate state, primarily responsible for the failure of the state’s economy, either direct or indirectly, too, are able to sustain their lucrative and quality, standard of living.

Heaven forbid that the common people should make their discontent known by demonstrating in the public streets that their life’s hardship financed into existence. To be confronted brutally by legions of shielded, armed riot police all of whom too are well compensated by those whom they beat back with hardwood batons and liters of pepper spray.

One has to ask:Where is the fairness of justice in this civil, social system?

The severe financial crisis that permeates nations globally which elected governments must be held directly accountable to have let materialize through a myriad of rational reason, must come to understand that unlike prior instances of similar civil malaise, the common people being more educated and informed are less tolerant then in the past. They must take notice that unless significant measures are taken to reverse the tidal flow of benefit from those responsible for perpetrating and prospering from the ills of our times, the `Let them eat cake’ philosophy of old will once again render a corresponding but more vicious and sustained uprising.

The threshold of tolerance of the hardworking majority, the 99 percent, is close to being transgressed and what potentially lies awaiting beyond its border, at all expense, will be mercilessly dispensed. The blind bravery of common people has historically been witnessed in past, worldly events; the bonding element having been to the welfare of all. The same element of resolve will undoubtedly manifest should the adverse austere conditions presently being imposed on the majority by the one-percent, and the governments that protect them and,  it will not relent.

‘When and where all hope is lost – there is no hope to loose.’
