14,282. IF YOU HAVE TO WONDER

IF YOU HAVE TO WONDER

If you have to wonder how 

everything got so screwed 

up, then I'd think it can't

be so very bad. If so, you 

wouldn't be needing to 

wonder about it at all.

-

It would just jump out at

your face. Despoiled oceans

and water; macadam and

highway runoffs fouling

the rivers and streams. The

houses and towers, built on

tawdry muck and causing

all poison and ills to occur.

-

'If not now, when?' I laugh

when I hear that stuff: 'Be

the change you want to see

in the world.' What a bunch

of horsehair garbage: Those

feel-goody meditation types,

with their yoga mats and 

their Thich Nhat Hanh.

-

I laugh to my reservation, to

think of all the slaughtered 

and maimed  -  a country here

now pretending it never did

anything quite that wrong. All

so that the Peloton and the 

Lulumon can make their

American dollar.

-

Hide me out, where no sun

shines. I want to run far away

from what's there. I guess that

if Truth had a bevel axis, it

would swing far from here.
