Sunday Funday

The main principle of action that can be observed is that action also causes reaction. Yes this is an old adage, cliche even. The vibration sent out has an affect on the seen as well as the unseen. Take our friends in Washington, as the deconstruct this country to bits and pieces of merchandising ware, they refuse to see the end of this mentality. They are selling our ports to the UAE. United Arab Emerits. Our debt is being bought up by China, as well as the hoarding of American currency brought in by U.S. companies, an action 30 years ago would have landed a CEO in jail, dealings in trade secrets with a communist entity. Now it is a free for all by our leaders making the quick dollar. They do not care about the American citizen who will foot the bill for this atrocity, they will be long gone, as our children will suffer for the first time that their parents generation dropped the ball and didn't make the country a better place for them as did their ancestors. We have no one to blame but ourselves for this apathy. Half of the citizens are brainwashed drones who rally around the president in the safe thoughts that the country is in the hands of a Christian good ol' boy, the other half is waiting for Gadot." Yes someone must come and save us from this mess, they will I know it!", they swear in their hearts. Wake the fuck up both sides, please. I know you whom will read this say, he is just a painter, what does he know? Well, I know enough to understand that my children deserve better, and so do the poor, the working poor and the indigent, the elderly and the challenged. Jesus Christ, you are allowing this administration to steamroll over all that the ones who have gone before us gave their lives for an ideal of brotherhood and unity, the noble brave and honest men and women who bought us this great nation with their blood and lives. Why am I the only one who can see this? Do you not feel you deserve better? What kind of childhood plagued with negative reinforcement brought you to this lowly state of anesthesia induced apathy. The Britney Spears defense, "WE elected him to think for us so we don't have to.", is so common, not in the lower class, nor the moderately educated, but in the upper class and the affluent. Now I am not talking about a revolution here or an overthrow of the state, I am talking about little things, like a thought change. Let us start with this to the wealthy, the victims of Katrina didn't do enough for themselves. They trusted, that is their crime. They trusted that the services set aside for them would not be used to pay of Halliburton to provide tainted drinking water to the troops. They trusted that the National guard would be there to protect them from looters and not displaced in Iraq. They trusted that the 69 million dollars set aside would be used to fix the levees in 1978. They trusted and lived in the comfortable numbness that is required to be a citizen in this country. To make waves is not American anymore. The ideals of Thomas Payne have been squelched by a government with an above the law no holds barred mentality. If in your minds eye the truth is imminent, so start with that, see the victims of Katrina not as the Black population of the disenfranchised, but as people like yourself caught in a bad situation because questions were not answered long ago and the American Ideal of ignorance is bliss has replaced the truth. So when you are watching Desperate Housewives or Greys Anatomy, or whatever godforsaken piece of shit that is on the t.v. to escape your daily toils, and as you are watching invalidating you own life to drug yourself with the thought of "Well at least my life isn't that messed up." Ask yourself , "Why am I doing this?". Because you have been trained to you monkey. Sorry to be the one to tell you this but the poet was wrong, the truth is not beauty, and beauty is not the truth.
