.
I thought it would be spring time.
I thought it WAS spring time.
A whole new century of it.
A time for "These are the voyages
of the starship" Planet Earth.
.
But then ...
The Grand Confabulation occurred.
The re-writing began.
The "P","R"-ification of America sped off.
The Grand Confabulation.
Confabulation! ConFABulation sounds fabulous.
Con Fab Si Se Puede.
.
Confabulation:
The elucidation created for the fornication of this nation.
The pundit words for the stupification of discourse.
For the driving of cattle to their slaughter,
For the guiding of masses to whatever stick is up their asses.
.
From 2000 on.
I thought it would be spring time.
I thought it WAS spring time.
.
But then ...
Stolen Election, then
Compassionate conservatism, then
9/11, then
The Doctrine of Pre-emptive Strike.
What is that?
The Doctrine of Pre-emptive Strike:
It's like getting a "Minority Report"
You know, the movie with Tom Cruise.
Except with a racist attitude
and lots of booze.
When to kill? Yahoo!
YOU choose!
How can we lose?
.
We've got duct tape ... Who doesn't love duct tape?!!
.
The intoxication of the masses
with delicious, syrupy, fear tonic
making us all
willing participants
in the liberty erosion
just for the security
mirage potion.
.
Then,
Renewed religious intolerance
Renewed politicized religion
Renewed extremes
Renewed racial intolerance
Renewed divisions
Renewed torture
Renewed idiocy
Renewed vengeance, payback, kickback, watch your back, attack attack.
.
and then,
Renewed corporate greed.
Renewed personal greed.
Renewed stomp on whoever greed.
Greed feed for the mad cow diseased.
.
Mad cow? How mad cow?
.
Cow fat and fat cow want more NOW!
.
Anyhow!
CEO wants mo', no?
What about you?
Who?
What about the worker bees?
Please!
.
What about... .
.
Shit.
Life is shit.
Shit is life.
For those in power.
Shit on life.
You are shit.
Not THE shit.
Just shit.
Ain't no time
like your life time
to waste on grime & slime.
.
But don't worry,
ALL IS FINE!
Just keep doing what you're doing.
Nothing to see here, now move along!
.
ALL IS FINE!
.
I thought it would be spring time.
