By the time you finish this little ramble
at least 3000 people will have died on this
beautiful planet from idiotic reasons:
Car crashes,
stupid wars,
starvation because the rich stole the food that was supposed to go to the poor
starvation because the world bank shoved the country into monoculture and the people forgot or weren't allowed to grow their own food
drugs that doctors gave doing the person in
lover's quarrels where the gun is the answer
drug war idiocy
and so on
This human race does dumb things
with its big brain
that gets used to make weapons
and to justify the most common human
fallacy:
The Me Right, You wrong fallacy
And throughout today,
many will be busy saying
the terrorists were wrong
or that George Bush was wrong
or that the whole economic mess of the country is wrong
and you know what:
everyone who wants to be right,
is
and yet,
are they happy?
So let's dance around and wonder:
are we terrorizing ourselves with the idea
that 9/11 shouldn't have happened
are we terrorizing ourselves with the wish
that in this country at least
crazy men with the idea that they can solve
anything by killing a bunch of people all at
once ( Hiroshima anyone? firebombing of Dresden and Tokyo)
should happen
people want to be right
the most idiotic form of this is to go
out and figure that you are so right
you get to kill off a bunch of the Wrong crowd
crazy
and then,
if we want to erase this idiocy
from the world
or from happening in "our" country,
who are we, but mental expungers of the
the Wrong folk
so we wipe the "bad/ dumb/ wrong THEM" out
with our judgment
me right, you wrong
ah, such sweet poison
such a common way to waste our lives
and the unfailing way to be unhappy:
You, the past, should have been different
me right, the past should have been my picture,
you, reality, the past as it was, is WRong
la, la
lots of luck
so, if you don't agree with me,
be happy,
but don't be right,
be amused, confused,
curious:
how could he possibly think that way?
what would it be like if I tried that out for awhile?
And if you can't entertain an "alien" viewpoint,
why get so mad at the terrorists,
who clearly lacked humor and the good graces
to see that not everyone agreed with them
they are just like us
with the extreme of getting to really wipe out
what they don't like
including themselves
imagine how much self hatred goes into terrorism,
forget all the hogwash about 40 virgins in heaven,
these dopes all knew they were going to die,
and that they were destroying themselves
nothing but good old lack of love
for self
others
and the whole big mess
can lead to such drastic acts
and then again as the ramble rumbles
down,
and the 3000 mentioned above are all
dead
and here we are still
what's that about?
it's our moment
this gol dern moment is
our life
how much love and joy
and tolerance of the "wrong" people,
and love for the "wrong" people
can we conjure up
IN THIS MOMENT,
CAUSE IT'S THE ONLY ONE
