"once we were strangers bumping past other lives in a focused fog now all our stories have melted into two vivid hours maybe we're better now, stronger, with a deeper soul and we'll be whole again in a different way and this time will teach for a new day hurry up time... speed us away to the day where the sky doesn't rain with the why and the pain hurry up sky... carry them home then carry our eyes to your blue and your calm and away from that one black cloud" ~ Jen Chapin ~ |
amazing life, sometimes... especially in stories ok... so was the paranoia of the McCarthy hearings real?... I mean, did it consume careers and scare people into jumping to death from tall buildings?... were people really in fear of their lives just because they would not publically point loaded fingers without evidence?... and was our government pointing those loaded fingers without evidence or based purely on assuptions and superficial, often brief, associations?... are we willing to believe it really happened?... how about a govenment interning people under armed guard behind barbed wires based soley on their race or religion or beliefs, even when their beliefs and actions truly are peace, love, and do no harm?... and did a billion people, including your grandparents, look away when a government decided to eliminate millions of people based on their race and/or religion?... did your family, a few generations back, actually own and beat and hang people as if they were animals beneath human?... can you wrap your mind around any of these thoughts as if they really happened in this physical reality?... can you imagine what living in that reality might be like?... what if... this guy put a whole town of believers, that is, people all believing in and willing to die for the same cause and way (a way that harmed no one) on trial just because the towns people did not believe in the way the majority of the country believed?... can we believe a government would use armed force to violate the constitution government is supposed to protect and defend?... how about a community of students who challenge the government and stood up and shouted about how wrong they thought the government was?... would the government send in police and the army to push around and try to indimidate the students into giving up their beliefs and shut up and go away... would the army actually shoot students because they disagreed with the government?... what do you think?... could that really happen in this country?... today?... ever? how about outside the borders of the country?... right now... or, for that matter, to stretch the possibilities of thise query beyond the known to the infinite, beyond the borders of the planet?... what are the universal (or even human) laws of interaction between sentient beings anyway?... rights?... what is right? . o O ( did I ever tell you about my childhood in New York? ) O o . so the motion sickness went away and I found the people didn't make the world go round we're all just riders through the storm or calm secretly trying to do no harm but we will scratch and claw and fight for what we think is right alright and we will destroy what is wrong or what they say is wrong just to belong and every day deep down we cry for every one who ever had to die and every night deep down we dream that life could be as good as it can seem in the most innocent child's dream new york city makes martyrs of us all there are many of them standing tall sooner or later all towers fall mountains kneel down under natures call and we will rally 'round the cause for what we think is right are laws and we will destroy what is wrong or what they say is wrong just to belong and every day deep down we cry for every one who ever had to die and ever night deep down we dream that life could be as good as it can seem in the most innocent child's dream hollywood paints visions of our lives we're all shocked when a new story arrives it's a wonder tradition survives based on the goals toward which mankind strives but we will sell souls for success for what we think is right, I guess and we will destroy what is wrong or what they say is wrong just to belong and every day deep down we cry for every one who ever had to die and every night deep down we dream that life could be as good as it can seem in the most innocent child's dream and try to stay away from the nightmares try not to believe that no one cares try not to destroy the thing we share try to stop poisoning the air water, ground, hearts that (want to) care minds that would be aware love but love only one way love but love only your kind love but love the things they say love them as they take your mind love but leave the truth behind then wonder why you can't find love and we will scratch and claw and fight for what we thing is right alright and we will destroy what is wrong or what they say is wrong just to belong that every day deep down we cry for every one who ever had to die and every night deep down we dream that life could be as good as it can seem in the most innocent child's dream influences sometimes combine beautifully for a moment and when that moments lasts long enough to pass it's magic through a message across time and space, it moves along the path from magic toward miracle... please tell the story... parable... tale... angels, faeries, poets, rainbows, promises, passions, fears, foibles, pickles, whatever one or we might choose to believe in... in the end we want to find peace and happiness and security and some sense of being here, real, acknowledged, respected, appreciated, nurtured, loved... meanwhile, I wandered around the web a bit earlier today... before heading out to get stuffed at the seafood buffet and then watching The Majestic, a movie that you might see influencing the start of this entry, this session, this ramble, perhaps the black cloud, perhaps the dream that blows the cloud away... all the wondrous stories blended and melted into two vivid hours... and as you must realize, once again, the Chapin genius shines on... on and on and... may we all the rest will flow tomorrow and so on |
