WILDERNESS VOICE: Your Unalienable Right To Live

 




Your Unalienable Right To Live


It’s time for the kid in us to grow up and face the facts! Looking for a freedom and life of one’s own isn’t quite as sweet as the next war comes and the truth hits home. While being hard pressed by the daily cost of living paycheck by paycheck putting national concerns dangerously easy to dismiss: We're simply reaping what has long been sown. And it’s not about MAGA, ICE or Middle East. While the mounting body bags are just getting started: It’s about A Constitution that’s always been selectively inclusive, exclusive, and as we move toward global order, it’s becoming irrelevant.

Face it! While building growing systems of preparation; segregated educational programs, limited employment opportunities smothered in rites of passage, a political arena where representation goes to the lobbyists with the biggest purse, and a media tool able to misdirect attention through selective misinformation: America has been breeding a nation of obedient automatons - temporary useful COGs (swayed by rewards and punishments) in the mechanical wheels of economic progress. Darwinism (survival of the fittest) at its best!

Meanwhile, affecting everything and destined to knock on everyone’s door, the mounting issues: Environmental (e.g. air pollutants, heat waves, water drought), Labor (becoming more techno, entrepreneurial, or just plain servitude), Voting Rights (getting filled with things like who can, can’t, where, and how), Freedom of Speech (falling under corporate censorship, restrictions and consequences), Immigration (becoming a matter of who can financially afford it) War (both home and abroad), A.I. (becoming the central system of universal surveillance and data collection), and the beat goes on.

As stated in Marvin Gay’s song, ask: What’s going on! Mother, there’s too many of you crying. Brother, there’s far too many of you dying. You know we've got to find a way to bring some lovin' here today. Fathers, you know we've got to find a way to bring some lovin' here today. Picket lines and picket signs! Don't punish me with brutality! Talk to me, so you can see. Oh, what's going on? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5TmORitlKk&list=RDo5TmORitlKk&start_radio=1

 

Coining the term “imperial overstretch” to warn “no nation can sustain global military commitments while neglecting its domestic socio-cultural and economic infrastructure”, many have tried to stress “A superpower cannot maintain global dominance if its domestic foundations erode.” While great thinkers have predicted that “although capitalism provides prosperity and a better way to organize society, the system contains contradictions such as crises, inequality, and class struggle.” Even President Eisenhower warned “A nation cannot be both a global military empire and a healthy democracy without risking internal strain.” Point: America is in global retreat and domestic decline, until the land of the free is awake and can see, until her conscience has been found, we better wake her and ourselves up this time or face the making of another Boston Tea Party Brewing! No Taxation Without Representation!

This is not time for finger pointing blame or asking who’s winning. We’re all losing and passing the bill onto the next generation! It’s time to look at the cost and who is flipping the bill. Consider the cutbacks (e.g. social services, health care coverage, education), the switch from loyalty pensions to 401-k pay your own way, the rising cost of fertilizer on farmer expenses steering the rising cost of food, and the decay of national infrastructure. While focusing on ICE targeting brown and idly watching IRS plan specific tax rebates to dole out debt relief packages to already privileged individuals and corporations, a big red Bull’s Eye is being painted on the backs of every citizen. It’s not about just seeking a cease fire abroad. It’s about the need for a cease fire right here at home.

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...

The Jesus Factor :: Humanities Map, Legend, And Compass

Image
  The Jesus Factor  Humanities Map, Legend, And Compass  We’ve all heard of the light ! That enlightening knowledge and understanding of how God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit will converge to give humanity a second shot at a life full of harmonious coexistence free of growing pain and suffering. But the uncertainties of daily life have given rise to a fear of lacking tomorrows wants in ways that justify an unprecedented need for hording greed. Under such external pressures, it’s time to question: How much of that light (e.g. peace, love, and joy) is actually still in you?   Darkness is quickly spreading a blanket of worldwide despair ; humanities intended fruits (e.g. kindness, goodness, gentleness, forbearance and self-control) are becoming but mere shadows as we walk along the corridors between “Once Upon a Time” and “It Is what It Is.” Thus question: How deep is the darkness within you?   Seemingly overwhelmed, we fail to grasp the simplicity of common sense. ...
