a space cowboy in an age of unreason

Post by saw »

the presence of fear is equivalent
to the absence of reason, the real
terrorists are the leaders who exaggerate
the danger
throw your television in the East River
go to the public library, check out
a big pile of history books, look up
some independent media on the internet
commercial free of course and eshew
the likes of Jerry Bruckheimer type
portrayals of enemies in caves
whose only purpose on this planet
is waiting for a tiny window to kill you
celebrate investigation, honor the fearless
journalist, and don't forget Joe McCarthy,
hear the words of Edward R. Murrow,
" We will not be driven by fear
into an age of unreason."
please don't call me Mr. Didactic
call me the space cowboy, call me
Maurice, call me the gangster of love.

jerry bruckheimer has been on the pentagon / cia / exec. branch payroll for years ... the whole hollywood blockbuster factory for that matter ... and the video game industry, and cable news, and ... well, you get the idea. obviously there are some bad folks out there, but jeez, we need to get a grip ...

rise of the machine, model w.o.t.
the perfect shape shifter, plane drifter
frictionless device on massless masses
invulnerable to any disabling reason
a perpetual motion machine at last
hunker down, debunked physicists

thanx mnaz......the hype of danger is overblown so billions of dollars that the citizenry could really use right now can be diverted to private contractors that really aren't required to deliver the goods....just collect the check, and we could go on and on with the arms industry and such, but I sense many are getting hip to this scam that is bankrupting our country.....
