It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)"(Bobby Dylan)

Darkness at the break of noon
Shadows even the silver spoon
The handmade blade, the child's balloon
Eclipses both the sun and moon
To understand you know too soon
There is no sense in trying.

Pointed threats, they bluff with scorn
Suicide remarks are torn
From the fools gold mouthpiece
The hollow horn plays wasted words
Proved to warn
That he not busy being born
Is busy dying.

Temptation's page flies out the door
You follow, find yourself at war
Watch waterfalls of pity roar
You feel to moan but unlike before
You discover
That you'd just be
One more person crying.

So don't fear if you hear
A foreign sound to you ear
It's alright, Ma, I'm only sighing.

As some warn victory, some downfall
Private reasons great or small
Can be seen in the eyes of those that call
To make all that should be killed to crawl
While others say don't hate nothing at all
Except hatred.

Disillusioned words like bullets bark
As human gods aim for their marks
Made everything from toy guns that sparks
To flesh-colored Christs that glow in the dark
It's easy to see without looking too far
That not much
Is really sacred.

While preachers preach of evil fates
Teachers teach that knowledge waits
Can lead to hundred-dollar plates
Goodness hides behind its gates
But even the President of the United States
Sometimes must have
To stand naked.

An' though the rules of the road have been lodged
It's only people's games that you got to dodge
And it's alright, Ma, I can make it.

Advertising signs that con you
Into thinking you're the one
That can do what's never been done
That can win what's never been won
Meantime life outside goes on
All around you.

You loose yourself, you reappear
You suddenly find you got nothing to fear
Alone you stand without nobody near
When a trembling distant voice, unclear
Startles your sleeping ears to hear
That somebody thinks
They really found you.

A question in your nerves is lit
Yet you know there is no answer fit to satisfy
Insure you not to quit
To keep it in your mind and not forget
That it is not he or she or them or it
That you belong to.

Although the masters make the rules
For the wise men and the fools
I got nothing, Ma, to live up to.

For them that must obey authority
That they do not respect in any degree
Who despite their jobs, their destinies
Speak jealously of them that are free
Cultivate their flowers to be
Nothing more than something
They invest in.

While some on principles baptized
To strict party platforms ties
Social clubs in drag disguise
Outsiders they can freely criticize
Tell nothing except who to idolize
And then say God Bless him.

While one who sings with his tongue on fire
Gargles in the rat race choir
Bent out of shape from society's pliers
Cares not to come up any higher
But rather get you down in the hole
That he's in.

But I mean no harm nor put fault
On anyone that lives in a vault
But it's alright, Ma, if I can't please him.

Old lady judges, watch people in pairs
Limited in sex, they dare
To push fake morals, insult and stare
While money doesn't talk, it swears
Obscenity, who really cares
Propaganda, all is phony.

While them that defend what they cannot see
With a killer's pride, security
It blows the minds most bitterly
For them that think death's honesty
Won't fall upon them naturally
Life sometimes
Must get lonely.

My eyes collide head-on with stuffed graveyards
False gods, I scuff
At pettiness which plays so rough
Walk upside-down inside handcuffs
Kick my legs to crash it off
Say okay, I have had enough
What else can you show me ?

And if my thought-dreams could been seen
They'd probably put my head in a guillotine
But it's alright, Ma, it's life, and life only.

"The Beautiful Twins"

You will find a repaired photo of Mhai Scott in my adjusted now called "Justifiable Homicide".composite .Justifiable homicide is what they called the action of the Virginia police who killed a little Chinese woman ,Mhai Scott who had a knife. You have to wonder exactly what kind of training it takes to shoot someone with a knife. I mean a bat might have been a better decision than a bullet.It seems to me that a long broom might be an antidote to a knife , that is the stick could keep a small Chinese woman at bay while the other police could surround the woman , knock her over with their Billies..or swat at her with newspapers. Damn, you could throw apples at her and get positive results without having to kill her with your gun. Prince Georges County and Montgomery County are no different and they have been pushing the boundaries of the law since long before 2001. It has only gotten worse. It is a wonder that there aren't more people flipping out ,waving knives on their three day a week jobs for Walmart,KMart, TJMax, McDonalds,and Home Depot where they are under the wire without benefits, no idea what their schedule is , and sharing housing with others.They said she was threatening them . Boy , grown men , grown men who are supposed to be trained to handle situations not shoot , whitewash , and ask questions later.

The point is that these killings are constantly happening all over the country and it is not a racial situation. It is a human situation facing the citizenry of the United States. The sensational - racial amplification takes the focus off the real situation that the police , the government , those forces we invest our trust in to do the right thing are not doing the right thing. How long is the police state going to be supported with fear mongering. In Boston , they shut down the entire city for one boy after the local security dropped the ball . In DC 2002 , they shut down the entire Beltway looking for the wrong truck. This testing of a free society has resulted in the loss of a free society.Everybody is holding on for dear life . You people who work for the government , the military , and even private industry since the January 2010 Supreme Court Ruling can't openly express an opinion that is counter to what you know is dictated to you by your boss.Facebook,Google, MSN,Twitter, etc. etc. are all now in the pocket of Obama.Democrats are not Democrats. Republicans are posturing opportunist preaching like Moses , like Akhnaton , like Taliban from the point of view of "God"told me this morning and all that shit.There is no free speech. It doesn't even matter what you do , it is what you say . The thought police are here and they shoot first , whitewash , then ask questions later.

Corporates say its the fault of the unions that they moved abroad but we know that NAFTA didn't help the US . Corporations would still have child labor if they could and don't forget slavery. We are not that far off ,in fact this Corpocracy is just another form of slavery. Stop waving the flag and saying ,"..but this is the best country in the world ." and all that shit .It isn't and hasn't been for a long ,long time . We have become the Nazis.There is no common sense in our congress, the TSA, the NSA, the CIA, the FBI, the Pentagon ,or any of the letters out there trying to hold on to their budgets in spite of them already being fat ,inflated beyond our understanding because the real budgets are secret. Doesn't everybody want to have more toys ? Why do we have to support men with toys that kill? They are not protecting us , they are making it worse for us , the US in the world . You don't have to shoot and then make up stories about why you had to shoot . This has become the US Foreign Policy . Drone Warfare creates more "Justifiable Homicide" in the name of the American People .The label "Collatteral Damage" doesn't do much to cover up what should be called "Murder" . Bradley Manning blew the whistle on "Murder" ,murder similar to war stories I heard from men at Travis Air Force Base in San Fransisco in 1965 but ,then again , those "Atrocities" were not collateral damage but what we became supporting a questionable foreign policy .Hey , all you "Letters" ,come and get me and let me fucking retire in prison or shoot me and put me out of my misery but don't tell me you are protecting me . You are a greater danger to me than any terrorist blowing his ass up . One day the far left and the far right will come to agreement on this fact and this will be the end of the war games , the corporate take over of our democracy , or these states will lose the epithet "United"."

Lt In the Depths of the Blues Detail

American Diatribe or Little Boy Lost

Right now it is dangerous to point out the deficiencies in the current administration.The Wiki-Leeks Guy , Manning , a young man in the military,a "Whistle Blower" that saw atrocities commited by our military, exposed them ,acting on his beliefs ,was tortured for a year before he was brought into court to admit his guilt. Is that Military justice here in America? The Obama Administration has continued the Bush policy, the "Patriot Act' and the amplified "Patriot",the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), an act that should be recognized as treasonous to the basic aesthetic American Civil Rights that were guaranteed in the Constitution ,those "Inalienable Rights" that we once cherished.Tis is all done in the name of protection or the illusion of protection.I don't believe for a second that the wars in Viet Nam , Iraq, or Afghanistan have protected me in any way. I have been in harms way many times but not in war but here in the States. I would like to be protected from the police. Even bringing up the subject is a dangerous thing to do .The police of PG County Maryland were out of control before the attacks of 9/11 and their abuses escalated afterward like Johnson's Viet Nam.


The current volunteer military should know what they are doing before they sign their lives away and trust this government.Signing that contract is endorsing what ever policy the administration of either political party puts on our flag , that pretense of acting in the name of me , you,and the rest of the American citizenry.Pre-emptive strikes are accepted as the American way.Drone strikes without regard to the innocent lives afected and sometimes snuffed out . The term"Collateral damage" has brought about the acceptable spin that negates the term that should be used ,"Murder".Torture and occupying countries are now what the American military does for us.They are creating more enemies than friends and not protecting us at all.Our government is neglecting the basic need for government in the first place of protecting our own territories and shores,for instance the New Orleans flood of 2005 and in 2010 the protection of our shores was somehow given to BP Oil along the Southern Coast and not our military. When people say that they are fighting for me , that is a lie , a spin created to perpetuate this myth that America is the greatest , the most powerful , able to leap tall buildings in a singly bound , and all that jazz. Raising the flag has become a diversion from what ever secret comes to be seen that they have determined shouldn't be seen ,like those Wiki Leeks ,or for instance or in the early seventies, "The Pentagon Papers".America has faltered.


We are being run by the corporates who have been considered citizens since January 2010. The last election was the first time that they were able openly to buy out the candidates.Don't believe the current "Spin" being told by the corporate press or the imaginary television journalist that the excessive ,undisclosed campaign funds didn't affect the last election. The current congress are still paying back their benefactors and will continue to ignore the American people in favor of their money sources.The current congress has said and done nothing about the " Citizen's United " decision. They are working as a team ,both Republicans and Democrats to undermine our democracy in favor of the "Corpocracy" that they are supporting .


Any one who joins the military will be subjected to what the corporate masters decree and not representing American citizens any more than our congress represents us anymore. Our military , including the National Guard , has been tied up in Afghanistan for over ten years ,they are spread across the world. The bases in Germany ,Italy, in fact throughout Europe are worthless except for what they cost . That is where the money has gone . Privatizing Social Security is a terrible price for individual citizens to pay and could be analogous to the current ten percent thievery on the table in Cyprus.


Man , the police will not protect you but will come after you have been stabbed.If you get caught in the mess of the Justice System , they will throw the book at you ,lie, make up charges and then you will plea bargain in an attempt to extricate yourself . That is the justice department's job ,a habit of lies which allows criminals to get off easy and the innocent to pay through the nose ,if they can afford it . The military is a political pawn , a mythological representation of National Defense. They are not defending anyone anymore . They are aggressors. We are now an aggressor Nation. Wasn't that what Germany and Japan achieved in 1941 ? So we have both the "Gestapo" and the "Brown Shirt Gang" invading ,peacefully killing in our name .Supporting the "Good Dictators" like "The Shah of Iran",Sadam ,Musharraf, Mubarak,not to mention previously supporting and arming Osama Bin Laden are all the self serving bad policies of past administrations acting on our behalf. At present the Obama administration is tetering on the policy of supporting the Syrian Insurgence who well might actually be Al Caeda .The International Conglomerates that own this country have profitted on each of the wars. Our National debt continues to goe up, the economy is shaky for the individual citizen, but Wall Street thrives ,like right now . No, I don't support this military or this government.The problems are systemic and deeper than mere political parties.It is dangerous to speak out against this administration,even more so than against the Bush criminals who were pardoned before they were brought up on charges in one of Obama's first acts as president in 2008.Kind of reminds me of "Ford"pardoning Nixon yet Obama isn't supposed to be a Republican.

The Mailman Takes a Bite

The Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act, a law which requires the Postal Service to do something that no other business or government agency has to do–pre-fund its FUTURE retiree health care benefits.The Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act (PAEA) stipulates that the USPS is to make payments of $5.4 - $5.8 billion into the Postal Service Retiree Health Benefits Fund, each year, from 2007 to 2016 in order to prefund 75 years of estimated costs. This requirement also explicitly stated that the USPS was to stop using its savings to reduce postal debt, which was stipulated in Postal Civil Service Retirement System Funding Reform Act of 2003.] This is in addition to deductions from pay for federal contribution to social services. This pre-funding method is unique to the USPS. In June 2011, the USPS had to suspend its weekly payment of 115 million into the fund because it had reached 8 billion dollars in debt and the retirement plan had a surplus of 6.9 billion dollars. This hasn't been being reported by our corporate media puppets, by that I mean ABC,CBS,NBC,CNN,FOX,etc etc.. Another fact not being widely circulated is that independent agencies and the government itself have concluded that the USPS has overpaid into its two retirement systems.It is unfortunate and hypocritical that the Obama administration has advocated the elimination of Saturday delivery service as part of the deficit-reduction package while insisting on the need for job creation. If they simply transferred the overpayment in the retirement system into the future retiree health care obligation ,and eliminate the entire "Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act", the Postal system could go back into the black. It was making money before the creation of this terrible manufactured financial crisis designed to break the one of the largest unions and dismantle our reliable public service. The capitalists pigs will privatize and get another big profit on the backs of Americans who will pay a lot more to Fed Ex and Ups ,who's stocks are soaring in anticipation. There is nothing Obama can say for me that will change my opinion of his hypocrisy.He might mention "Citizen's United" in his "State of the Union" .. but fat fucking chance ! His policy has been to endorse the Republican ,Corporate take over of this entire country.He is a phony ! "...The King is in the altogether, But altogether the altogether, He's altogether as naked as the day that he was born. .." I am not sure what the founding fathers had in mind when they endorsed the right to bear arms but I have to wonder if they still had the memory of the King of England and a general mistrust of giving power to a government only to see it become corrupt.Large guns like AK - 47s might be the only deterrent to the current corruption of our system. I have no idea what is in the minds of people who are buying AK-47s yet I know that in my mind we are on the edge of a failing system which includes corruption that I am not sure we can resolve by trusting corrupted legislators . The problem is systemic ,built in ,bought in by the corporates and banks who are not working toward democratic ideals but across the boundaries of states and countries toward their own interest which is always the greedy ,"More ,more , and more". A Revolution probably won't come but it should never be out of the question,especially if the "four year revolution"plan doesn't work anymore.
