Reciprocity In Mind
Huddled safely cocooned in a shell of my making
Hidden from the scourge of pervasive darkness
Protected from the blithe that meanders wantonly
Free of the wrath that burdens most
Unencumbered by the toils of daily life
Relinquished to the joy of self-fulfillment
Purchased from the pain of self-affliction
Comatose to the idleness of mind
Pursuant to retention of spirit
Intolerant to the voice of the righteous
Unforgiving to the purveyors of strife
Strengthened by knowledge of awareness
Unburdened by need for reward
Striving for reciprocity in mind

Chaos’ Fire
Depravity of mind resides within us all
Fortunately, most are able to deny its invidious call
Though increasingly, this strength is beginning to wane
The question that arises: What cause is to blame?
Could the economic turmoil, increasingly prevalent on a global scale,
Be the ultimate cause as civil institutions have or, are at the brink to fail?
The ranks of the financially impoverished are growing day by day,
Robust political rhetoric is futile to alter the coming, destructive, tsunami wave.
Scholars and intellectuals broach solutions, a remedy course;
Five years hence the financial collapse; achieved is only conflicting discourse
Economist revel in knowing what effective monetary policy is to end the blithe
The only gain from their wisdom knowledge is unrelenting human strife.
Taking from the adage: The best way to fight a raging fire is with fire;
The chaos enveloping the world be remedied by inciting chaos, though not desired
May, in the end, be the only reasonable path to regain global, civil and economic order
Whether in or outside, any one nation’s sovereign border.

Happiness and Mirth?
T’were this 21st century era represented as a societal rubber-band,
Stretched each opposite way by caste’s differing hand,
Taken ultimately to a point it will no longer expand,
Forces unleashed by its breaking, a revolutionary fire it will fan.
Appeasement and contrite rhetoric will become increasingly hollow,
No longer will the meek find reason for it to swallow,
Nor for the mire and muck of impoverishment to wallow,
It is then the true wrath of the downtrodden will follow.
Barbed-wire and gated-walls will the outbreak resist,
But when all hope is lost, death becomes a virtue to enlist,
For the goal is not to the unfortunate whom now exist,
But to their progeny: for the same struggle not to persist.
This potential, destructive path need not find its birth,
Were each human-being given their common worth,
To equally share in the wealth given to this earth,
That life-lived be with fullness of happiness and mirth.

One Hell Of An Explosion
How ludicrous this world has become. No writing of fiction could rightfully depict the level of stench that rises from the pile of rhetorical `shit’ espoused by so-called elected representatives of the People, regardless of country represented. It seems undeniable that those whom feel compelled to run for office of governance, though possibly compelled by altruistic ideals, ultimately succumb to the greed that has infused the hallow-halls of government establishment of all nations.
A more clearer factual illustration of this is had in Bill Moyer’s (billmoyer.com) interview with journalist Mark Leibovich about his latest book, This Town.
This Town centers on Washington D.C. `a city where money rules the day and status is determined by who you know and what they can do for you. “If you can sell yourself as someone who knows how Washington works, someone who has these relationships,” Leibovich explains, “that’s a very marketable commodity. If you’re seen as someone who knows how this town works, someone who is a usual suspect in this town, you can dine out for years — that’s why no one leaves.”’
It does not take much imagination to paint the incumbents of all Nation’s government with the same tarnished brush. When exposed to opportunity for extreme wealth and with it; the power of influence that it can purchase, especially when others are competing and racing toward the same feeding-trough, ideals of morality for representation can be quickly forgotten.
The more one becomes educated to the insidious corruption that is prevalent within representative governance, a pervasive cynicism toward organized civilization is the outcome. A great sense of defeat to what collective humanity is suppose to mean. Observance to this metastasizing `cancer’ corrupting every essential organ comprising organized culture; one can only conclude that `death’ can only be a matter of time.
However, there does exist a slight ray of hope to cure this rampant, infectious disease: Common People.
It is time for Common People: the blue-collar worker, the grossly underpaid, the educated unemployed, everyone whom the power to cast a vote exists; all must collectively stand up for what is rightfully theirs to share equally and freely, not that which is dolled-out as rhetorical promises with each electoral cycle, before it is too late.
The spark to light the fuse to incite the needed, forceful movement has yet to be lit yet, the `gun-powder’ that is reason, is definitely accumulating and, when ignited, it is will be `one hell of an explosion’.

De-Politicizing Morality
Why is it that morally conscious people feel obliged to park or align their values for the rights of all humanity under the umbrellas of liberal or literalist movements? To do so only serves to politicize such concern that has proven time and again, disastrous.
The past, present and undoubted, future atrocities encumbering global humanity be they centered in the Middle East, Africa, or even now Russia with its demonization of the LGBT community in that country; a uniquely different manner of reaction/ response be demanded. Not by any one political camp but by ALL morally, conscious Humanity.
Enough is enough that the political and corporate elite subjugate national and international foreign policy to the demands of an oligarchy represented by such groups as the Bilderberg Group, Council of Foreign Relations, RAND Corporation and other similar elitist organizations who are widely known to direct the course of global political, economic and financial policy that is extolling pain, suffering and loss of life for all common Peoples of the World.
What will it take for this collective known as Humanity, to rightfully take-back ownership of the common-wealth this earthly presence has to bestow, to be shared equally amongst each living Soul?
In the heart of every caring individual finding the answer starts by DE-politicizing morality!

Global Treason
Calamitous, tumultuous, turbulent chaos,
Words to define the present state of the World;
Everywhere one’s attention does cross,
What was once Order seems be coming unfurled.
Though the problems may vary, as do their cause,
There seems but one common, all important reason:
Major nation’s institutions flagrantly breaking international laws;
A crime some might define as Global treason
Whether judicial, legislative or global finance,
Morality and jurisprudence willfully dismissed;
The élite, whom are in control, succumbing to greed’s evil trance;
Sinking humanity by their undoing, into an ever darkening abyss.

It Seems Inevitable…
The CBC’s (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) recent News story spoke to the despair, heart-ache and suffering experienced by one of the many victims of the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing incident. The narrative and accompanying video clip was effective in stirring sympathy and compassion for what this individual and no-doubt all victims and their families, have had to endure.
It is difficult to understand how the People of the United States can expect immunity from the detrimental affects of aggression enacted in their name. For it is their democratically elected government, to whom they entrust powers to commit to acts of war, economic sanctions and other forms of provocation upon other nations.
World War II netted the United States to be the most powerful military and economic nation of the planet. The United States maintaining its global leadership position during the five decades preceding commencement of the 21st century, embarked upon several foreign policy initiatives strictly for ridding the world of any semblance of communism/socialist influence. This decisive policy purportedly the impetus to conflicts arising first in the early 1950’s with North Korea supported by communist China and still an issue ; early in the 1960’s North Vietnam also with the support of China, advancing into the south; in the early 1960’s, confrontation with the Soviet Union over the Cuban Missile crisis; in the late 1980’s, an advisory role supporting newly established Al-Qaeda in defence of Afghanistan against Soviet Union advances. The irony in each of these conflicts is the realization that in the end, the United States with all its financial and military might, effectively failed to reach its stated foreign policy goals in each instance of conflict. Arguably, the beneficial outcome of retarding if not stopping advances of socialist communism in these regions by US led initiatives, could have been achieved with less destruction and loss of life through United Nations’ economic sanctions and diplomacy. Lastly, though not related to socialist communism; at the beginning of the 1990’s saw the annihilation of Iraq’s Saddam Hussein forces instigated by its advances into Kuwait oil fields only to render a state of wide-spread destruction of important national infrastructure and to subsequently lead to incitement of wide-spread sectarian violence throughout the Middle East today.
The destruction of the World Trade Centre on September 11, 2001 purportedly enacted by Islamic extremist is the first major incident post WW II to occur within the national United States resulting in the loss of approximately three-thousand innocent lives and serious injury to many more. The next and only major incident deemed an act of Islamic related terrorism is the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing with the death of three and serious injury to more than two-hundred.
Unacceptable as the loss of life and injury is to innocent victims; it is difficult to arouse too much sympathy for the United States as a whole when put into context of the number of innocent lives taken by it and its allies, military forces and most recent, its active Drone program; all in the name of advancing democracy when the true objective is the advancement of Capitalism.
At no other time has the reality to what drives United States and complicit global allies foreign policy been so evident: the Corporate-Capitalist-State.
The power of American multi-national corporations in their insatiable quest to render all nations’ resources and their Peoples subservient has proven to usurp the true essence of social democracy the United States and like nations, purport to profess through political rhetoric.
In prior decades the ruthless advancement of the corporate state was reserved for those beyond US shores however, since the engineered global financial collapse of 2007-08, it has become fully evident within the national United States.
In conclusion, relating to one of the basic laws of physics: for ever action there is an equal and opposite reaction; the Peoples of the United States and for that matter, all Nation’s complicit in acts of aggression with similar capitalistic motivations, should take heed and, unless they, through their democratic, electoral processes, impose upon their government(s), re-examination of the status quo to foreign policy initiatives and, to which entity of authority is to be given the power to direct into the future, it seems obvious that there is likely to be more senseless loss of life and destruction of property. It seems inevitable.
Like the planet, spinning, spiraling outward along with its cousin planets comprising this spacial galaxy, fueled by the energy of its central body Sun traveling through the dark void of space; the events comprising the history of Earth’s current epoch of human inhabitants, ravel timelessly toward an unknown destiny.
Each twenty-four hour cycle of Earth’s excursion toward the unknown speaks to the life stories of its seven-billion inhabitants. Stories that compose the nature of human existence within the fragile environment to which it has been mysteriously born. Stories diligently recorded and maintained over centuries of time-measured yet, authored for an unknown audience for it is evident through humanity’s ability to repeat its failings, to heed lessons taught through life-experience.
Contention surrounds the prospect that destiny plays important in the flow and ebb of human experience, a guiding energy toward an as-yet, unfathomable outcome. Though, is the daily expunging of countless, individual human lives by self-inflicted carnage and suffering expressed in wildly imaginable constructs excuse-able by such unsubstantiated reason?
The stain of evilness embodies each living soul demanding conscious effort to entomb within, to refuse succumbing to its destructive potential. Though many of human populace willingly oblige and acquiesce to the few and powerful belligerent, abusing forces within its realm; and, those whom are brave to oppose such evilness are effectively and ceremoniously stifled in their effort.
The progressive evolution of human experience too is evidenced daily reinforcing the perception that humanity at its core holds to ideals exercised as humane and goodly acts.
It is this perplexing dichotomy in human nature compounded by the inability to clearly define purpose to presence on Earth that both propels and stifles the human experience and progressive evolution, unrestricted to its fullest potential.

NATURE’S SEED
Parlaying scientific understanding to Nature’s natural birth
Through genetic modification of Seed put to Earth
A wondrous gift given generations of humankind
A gift with potential to be lost for all future time
Humanity is at the threshold to agri-food-corp enslavement
A global phenomenon that seems beyond containment
Impudent, purchased government blindly legislate the prevailing condition
Ignoring the public outcry to deny proliferation and permission
Those to whom greed of wealth arises from this abomination
Deem themselves beyond all natural and legislated laws of Nations
Emboldened with knowledge their food source will always be natural and safe
The potential death of the greater population hinders not its implementation pace
Passage of time will render truth to the offering of this modified genetic fruit
Or, are the altruistic goals of elite and powerful for humanity to become moot
Begging the question: Is the deadly potential of this human experiment needed
Or, is humanity better served by the eons-old method, Earth is naturally seeded?
