What You Gonna Do When They Come For You

 



What You Gonna Do When They Come For You 

The stage is set! Throughout our present human existence, the veils of convenient naiveness and avoidance are being lifted and everyone is starting to see the writing on the wall: We are all treading dangerous waters full of little nipping piranhas, big biting sharks, and while looking up to our global leaders to make the right decisions: Prey! Innocent bystanders awaiting their fate. Bottom line, the script has been written, the curtain is about to go up and the characters, everyone, is about to play their part. Are you ready? 

Are you, behind that identifying social security number, a person or an automaton? An expendable, easily replaced, cog in that self-serving wheel we’ve learned to accept as progress. The guns have been loaded, their chambers have been spun, and the targets have been raised: Utopia (heaven on earth) or Dystopia (hells wrath unleashed). 

Last chance to choose! Front and center stage are the magicians with their slight of hands, their hired pied pipers leading the innocent to the cliffs of extinction, and the seemingly clueless ostriches with their heads in the sand are in ready wait to act. But wait! How does all that work to affect me, you, us? 

Magicians, the puppeteers holding the seats of final say are skilled at creating illusions. While diverting audience attention with well-timed misdirection, they replace one object with another (e.g. Gaza, Ukraine, Africa, Venezuela, California, Chicago, New York, Tennessee etc.) and without detection maintain the objects of their end game secret. Shh! Just listen to the Pied Pipers (e.g. Hollywood, Media, Churches, and paycheck dispensers) hired to keep the masses merrily marching their way to the cliffs where most are expected to buy into the saga or leap. But the Ostriches are the enigmas to watch: A problematic riddle full of underestimated mystery and contradiction. Myth use them to describe someone who refuses to face their problems head-on. Fact is their heads are busy rotating their nest of eggs to ensure they are kept safe and warm. When endangered they use their enormous wings to create a cloud of dust to distract nearby threats, deliver kicks strong enough to kill a lion or, capable of running 10 miles at speeds of 40 miles per hour, they initiate a race away from their hidden nest. These are not mere characters with magical tricks! With a deep understanding of how the mind works, their techniques are dedicated, meticulously planned and able to create irresistible illusions leaving the general public bewildered. So keep your eyes on the prize, the ball bouncing not for money but the power to control a future requiring minimal automatons: Conscience free humans to reward or punish. Make no mistake! With freedom of speech and the enlightening purpose of education under fire; America and its constitution is burning! 

So, who’s report can you, will you believe? The great divide of partisans, denominations, class, color, socio-economic status and international borders are becoming near obsolete. But hey! I’m just another voice in the desert wilderness to ignore while withering beneath the heat of current times: The banners of Democracy, Freedom, Personal Enlightenment and Choice are giving way to the greatest magic trick ever being pulled: Mass Socialized Docility! It’s not just underway, IT’S ON! Meanwhile, there are lives in the balance! Innocent blood is being spilled! The lines in the ever-shifting desert sands have already been drawn AND IT’S TIME TO CONSIDER: Just where on the food chain are you standing. It’s time to ask yourself: What you gonna do when they come for you?

The Hurting Heart of Humanity -April issue

Image
  The hurting heart of humanity Humanities heart is in a state of global crisis! Growing natural disasters have compounded the widespread social conflict and injustice driving class and racial inequalities to unbearable levels. Crime, violence, mental illness and corruption have become little more than a normal cost of doing daily business. Existence has become an arena where depleting resources and dwindling economic opportunities are dangerously justifying the resulting consequences. of Growing unemployment, poverty and homelessness have reached unprecedented levels. Thus, mounting forms of addiction are just efforts to ease the strain of having to live in constant competition with each other at the cost of losing one’s innate natural desire, need and ability to love, trust and share. Meanwhile, the looming dark clouds full of thundering hate and lightning-fast hoarding are crippling the social threads of compassion under the weight of growing fear and despair. In truth, lookin...

Voices in the wilderness - May Issue

Image
  Voices in the Wilderness Fellow artists, blessed and gifted with talents and opportunities to be yet another historic voice in the wilderness crying out for justice to be made manifest; may our weapons of choice be sharpened to be heeded and heart felt. May our work’s, howsoever small but still flickering, become beacons of light against the seemingly growing social darkness gripping so many with feelings of helpless, hopeless despair. May our performing platforms serve as battering rams able to shatter the illusions blinding so many from the truth: We Are One! We are stewards, co-heirs destined to harvest and share what this world, this planet, this society still has the potential to offer and make manifest. For promised better days to come we need just accept that we are the voices, the hands and feet of a cosmic force made manifest thru us, for us, just because – because we’re built for more than present minds and hearts have come to accept. We’ve been granted eyes, ears a...

What Did You Do - June issue

Image
  What did you Do Whether one believes and accepts it or not; we have been gifted, more so blessed with imbedded talents and skills to achieve and fulfill what many call some preordained destiny. Thus, we each have both the right, and the obligation, to coexist while pursuing that which would provide individual meaning and purpose. The very bible not only instructs us to “Be Fruitful and Multiply” but was referenced when this country’s founding fathers, asserting as self-evident, that all men are created equal, went on to coin the term “Inalienable Rights” to mean God given birthrights assuring “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness” for all of earth’s inhabitants: Regardless of what legal guides man may seek to instill thereafter. So important “WAS” the thought that they went on to say, “Whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends (as currently being witnessed), it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish” what powers be and “institute a new gov...

Jan Article / 2021 - New Year, New Deal ?

Image
  Buffalo Latino Village Jan 2021article New Year, New Deal ?   Happy New Year! Its done! The ballots have been tallied, verified and announced. On January 20 th Biden enters as the new landlord and Trump exits as the delinquent tenant. But things seem far from over. Trump is not thinking of willfully vacating. So forget the drama and simply unleash the marshals with a court ordered eviction for negligence.  Like any of us, shouldn’t he be subject to arrest for trespassing. More so, shouldn’t his refusal to relinquish power be considered an act of mutiny : A crime punishable by death? But let’s wake up and face it; dominating the national discourse like no one before “Trump has been allowed to reshape the global office and shattered its century-old norms and traditions”. Fearing what’s supposedly waiting, he even seeks pardoning himself from any pending prosecutions. Funny how they call it an “ assault on the institutions of democracy ” without mention of “the...
