The Way of Ignorant VirtueA Poem by wuliheron Poetry extrapolated from the incredibly lucid Peter Merel GNL interpolation of the Tao Te Ching, however, I corrected for the three minor logic errors. Its the simple s**t that always gets you.

Ignorant Wisdom
The Bullshit that everyone experiences is Not always True, The abstract bullshit Everyone tends to Imagine is never Real. Ignorance Manifests Any Bullshit that Happens or May Happen; Whatever bullshit we use to Represent all that exists and might exist. To experience Ignorance Without abstract bullshit is to Sense the world; Where experiencing Abstract bullshit from ignorance is to know the world. These experiences can be indistinguishable from any other kind of Bullshit; Their construction differs, but their effect on various bullshit is the Same. Beyond the gateway of Experience flows the wisdom of our ignorance, Which is far subtler and ever greater, than any Ordinary Bullshit.
Everybody’s a Comedian!
All the World’s, a Vaudeville Stage! And every Clown is a Born Comedian! Men and women alike but poor players. Each has their Exits and Grand Entrances! And one Man in his time plays many parts. His acts being Seven Ages. At first the Infant, Mewling and puking in the poor nurse's arms! (William Shakespeare)
Big Bang
In the Beginning, God Farted, Known Today as the Big Bang, Just under, 14 billion years ago! Expanding from every direction! The heavenly choir was prepared! Being Familiar With divine Stench! They Scattered faster than the smell! Creating Sonic Booms In Their Wake! Flew Away In Every Direction At Once! Like a Cartoon Speeding Up the Action! Like a Short Charlie Chaplin Movie Reel! Like Terrified Chickens scattering forever! Like a Stampeding herd of Wild Elephants! Lucifer was the only one caught Flat Footed! Unlucky enough to have been Closer To God; Unlucky Enough to Have No Sense of Humor. Unlucky enough to be caught totally off guard! Broadsided Each Volley Hitting Hardest! That He Was Simply Not Prepared to Deal With. Never being Inclined to easily forgive and forget! Disillusioned, Devastated, And Totally Outraged! Indignant Swearing He Could Never Forgive Him, Swearing Someday, He'd Exact Terrible Vengeance. He Hid Deep Underground, Refusing To Come Out! Practicing The Arcane Art, Of Silent-but-deadly-farts! With Nobody Left To Talk To, God Grew Quite Bored! So with a Funky Wave of his hand, He created the heavens and earth; Out of The Yet Lingering Stench! Then he Created Adam and Eve! Who ran away screaming holding their noses! Questioning God's warped sense of humor! Today, Joan Osborn runs around singing! Dancing In the Isles Like A Whirlwind! Inciting Her Own Audiences To Riot! Yet,“What If God Was One Of Us?” Would we all get up and run away? Ever since those first confusing days, The rumor that keeps on going around, Is Something Must Be Inherently Wrong, With the absurdly comical species of homo sapiens, For God to punish us so badly right from the start! Yet the angels keep insisting God was just kidding, Promising they'll come back again, later, Whenever the smell finally dies down, To help air out the remaining stench. Whilst, the last anyone saw of God, Laughing gently never unpleasantly, Appearing quite comfortably relieved, Merrily frolicking away, into the sunset; He exclaimed: “Sometimes it just feels so good to let her rip!” Whilst, adroitly holding his nose making his most merciful retreat...
Take Five Brubeck!
Take One, Take Two, Take Five Brubeck! Take All The F*****g Time In The World! Just Put a Damned Limit on it Somewhere! Flip A God Damned Coin, If You Have Too! Preferably Sometime in the immediate future! You could even try to get it Right the first Time! Not All of us have too much Time on their hands! All things in moderation Including Moderation itself! Eliminates any need for eliminating, unlimited do-overs! (Dave's not here)
What Was The Question?
At Times Upon Reflection, I Can’t Help But Wonder! What, Was The Question? Upon admitting to myself! Trust is out of the question! Trust Is Flat Out Impossible! If everything they say is a lie, Honesty's such a lonely word! Locating Anyone Trustworthy! Becomes Difficult to Impossible. If its difficult to tell who you are, Its hard to know who to even ask! Lies bite the hand that feeds Them. Explanations, Are A Dime A Dozen! Real Answers, Might Cost Your Soul! Real Questions, Might Lead In Circles! If Confused, Over Still Being Confused! More Lowbrow Slapstick, Is Sure To Follow! Immediately, After The Commercial Break! Reality TV, Moved Onto Gilligan’s Island! Friends That Lie May Become Expensive! LaLa Land, Has Relocated to the Capital. Our winners decide what we call honest! Lawyers debating the meaning of stupid! Insisting Courtrooms Are Seldom A Joke; Professional Wrestling Is No Longer Fake. When Real News Is Legally Entertainment. Whenever Asking What Was The Question? Still refusing to listen to Anybody’s answers; Wondering what the Hell it’s all leading up to; We have nothing to Fear except our own bullshit! When our personal lives are no longer all that funny! What was the question can acquire entirely new meaning!
Outside Of The Box
Hot Off The Presses, Straight To The Airwaves! Right After We Checked With Their Internet Bots! Inquiring Great Behinds, Have The Right To Know! (But, just between you and me!) Anonymous Sources, Continue To Reveal Their Identities! A Picture is Worth Much More Than a Thousand Words! Fake News is Just More Cheap Thrills in Entertainment! Changing All The Locks, To Keep Up With The Jones! Storming The Palace Theater With Knives And Pitchforks! Where The Wild Things Will Dance in Circle Jerks! The Shortest Distance, Between Any Of The Dots! Funky Monkeys, Still Tweedly Deedly Bop Bop! Outside of The Box, Where There Is No Spoon! Jumping through Numerous Flaming Hoops! Kermit and Ms Piggy are Brother and Sister! Yoda, Is The Illegitimate Love-Child! Of, Mr Spock, And An Andorean Sex Slave! Jim Henson, Is Rolling Over In His Grave! PBS Is Planning a Documentary Special! Star Trek is Working On a New Series! Star Wars Writers, Plan Six Episodes! We Meet At Last! Our Circle Jerk Is Complete! Outside of the box where there is no spoon! Jumping through numerous flaming hoops! The smell of Burnt Fur can be overwhelming! Still, There's No Place Quite Like Home! While, If You Lived Here, You'd Already Be Home! Somewhere Outside Of The Box, and Way Over The Line! (Those Who Shall Forever Remain Anonymous)
Dream On Sucker!
Trekking Deep Into Dark Uncharted Territory! Beyond, The Outer Limits! Up Ahead, At The Signpost! The Twisted Fork In the Road! Next stop its the Twilight Zone! Bliss Bunnies Exchange Batteries! Evil Knievel Flies Through the Air! Energizer Bunnies all look the same! No greater power in the verse exists! There's a sucker born every minute! Because, If You Aren't A Sucker! Then You Were Never Breastfed! WE ONLY WANTED TO BE LOVED! Love Knows No Real Boundaries! Love Is Open-Minded and Flexible! Love Catches Anybody, By Surprise! Love…. Makes The World Go Round! And anybody who tells you otherwise, Is just another sucker who’s a sore loser! Every
time...... that
I look in the mirror..... Everybody's got their dues in life to pay... Yeah! I Know…... Nobody Knows….. Where it comes and where it goes. I Know, It’s Everybody’s Sin: You Got To Lose, To KNOW…… How To Win! All The Things… Come Back To You! Sing With Me…... Sing For The Year! Sing For the Laughter and Sing For the Tear! Sing With Me…….. It’s Just For Today! Maybe Tomorrow! The Good Lord Take You Away! Dream On Sucker, Dream On, Dream On! Dream
Until
Your Dreams Come True!!! Dream
‘Til Your Dreams Come True!!! Dream On, Dream On, Dream On, Dream On, Dream On Sucker! Dream
On! (WC Fields, Public Enemy, AeroSmith)
Yo Mind Is Worthless Crap!
Insisting you know what the hell you’re doing! Yo mind is worthless crap by its own Standards! Paying it forward by rolling crap Downhill faster! Lashing out at anybody who might come near you! Yo Mind is the last thing anyone gives a Crap about! Your feelings never mattered If no one else’s ever do.
Complaining
that all is fair in love,
War,
and politics!
Goldilocks
chose
to learn
her lesson
the Hard
way! Whenever all is fair In love, war, and Politics! In reality I can do and say Whatever I want, No one will care if I Indulge my Fantasies! When they all run around like Chickens! Panicking Screaming the sky is Falling! If uncertain as to where you’re going, Finding yourself Running in Circles. Either Yo Mind Is Worthless Crap! Or You Must ALREADY Be There! Dear Mr Fantasy…Play Us A Tune! Something…To Make Us All Happy! Do anything take us out of this Gloom! Sing a song, play guitar, make it snappy! Play us your happy, happy, joy, joy songs! The extended version, for larger circle jerks! (Traffic, Ren and Stimpy)
The Best of All Possible Worlds
To Be Ourselves While The Whole World Attempts, To Turn Us All Into Someone, Completely Different! Is Among The Highest, Of All Possible Attainments! Is Amongst The Greatest, Of Possible Achievements! I Promise Myself This, That, And The Other Things! Nobody Could Ever Possibly Hope To Do Me Better! The Best Of All Possible Worlds, Is To Know Thyself! To know Me is to Know the True Depths of the soul! To know Me is to Know All, the Secrets of Existence! To know Me is to know the True Depths of the heart! To know Me is to know how to truly live once again! To know Me is to know Everything that’s Important! To know Me is to love Me is to know Me even better! (The many narcissists amongst us, are simply jealous!) To know me is to know Greater Joy and contentment! To know me is discover genuinely Divine inspiration! To know me is to soar upon the wings of Imagination! Thus Open Hearts and Minds are All Prepared to Empty! Embracing Some Bullshit, We Embrace Our Own Shortcomings! Rejecting Bullshit, Our Brains Don’t All Spill Out On the Floor! Upon Bumbling across the accidental discovery of Q.M.! Max Planck begged his peers who had more experience! To Explain the Joke complaining that a sense of Humor! Wasn’t something they taught in mathematics or Logic! Was never anything the priests taught in church either! Was never among his list of essential job requirements! Was not a required Course to earn a degree in physics! For decades a popular topic at faculty cocktail Parties! Was how to design Experiments to discourage Jokers! Was How to Stomp Out The Worst Physical Comedy! Was How to Prevent War Among The Three Stooges! Wannabe Comedians can Become a Serious problem! Within the Hallowed Halls of the Esteemed Sciences! Where they all mumble forever wandering in circles! Where three Stooges Stomp on the excluded Middle! Where practicing physics is never considered a Joke. Where knowledge is always something quantifiable! When spouting nonsense could get somebody fired! When merely endeavoring to make sense out of life. When merely attempting to Do a Good day's Work! When merely endeavoring to earn an honest living, When merely endeavoring to make a Better World! When merely endeavoring to dispense knowledge! When merely endeavoring to make a contribution! When merely endeavoring to do the Best You can! When merely endeavoring to learn anything new! When The Majority Are Frequently Satisfied Just To Exist! When living is as easy as taking your next breath! When living is dancing as if Nobody is Watching! When living is singing as if no one Really Listens! When living is really just living our own Dreams! When its obvious guilty feet ain’t got no Rhythm! Wisely Knowing Heaven Is What You Make Of It! When the best of all possibles worlds lies within! When What All Hold Dearest Abides Within Us! When its hard to distinguish reality from fiction! When any fiction makes more sense than reality, When reality is another word for the B**b Tube! When our dreams are the Source Of nightmares! When Our Nightmares are the source of dreams! When Reality Remains Stranger Than Any Damned Fiction! When The Repeated Pies-In-Face, Seldom Do Stop Coming! Knowing, There’s Never Anybody Home, But Us Chickens! When Its Obvious, There’s Nobody In Charge Around Here! When its obvious All the b***s are on the tube! When its Obvious the Idiots just make it all up! When their guilty feet still ain’t got no rhythm! When arguing with the b**b tube really helps! When Laboring to step in the same river twice! When attacking the incomprehensible is Futile! When running in Circles accomplishes nothing! When the Pies-in-the-Face Just Keep On Coming! When Life So Clearly Demands A Sense of Humor! Whenever The Witless Zingers Just Keep on Coming! Whenever The Bullshit Flies Thickest, In All Directions! When It Becomes Difficult To Tell Which Way Is Still Up! Whenever Guilty Feet Stumble Attempting the Moonwalk! Whenever Trust Is Only To Be Found, In The Lost & Found! When What All Hold Dearest May Only Be Shared! When A Miracle To Believe In, Abides Within All! When Up, Up, Up, Is The Only Viable Direction! When nothing From nothing remains Something! When nothing from something Remains Nothing! When Ya Gotta have something in order to Dance! When the Best of all Possible worlds Springs Forth. Whenever we encourage the best of all possibilities! Deciding for ourselves how to dance down the road. Knowing Guilty Feet Would Only Lose Our Rhythm, Learning to Moonwalk on the Dark Side of the Moon! Faking it until You Make it is the only way to get there! Honesty requires working on your own Sense of humor. Become a Drooling Idiot in order to know what’s missing.

Bereft
All
possible
reliable
memories! Where the Wild Things All Love To Dance In Circle Jerks! Climbing A Mountain, On The Dark Side Of The Moon! Reality without Dreams is just somebody’s nightmare! And dreams bereft all reality are everyone’s Fantasy. Still there’s just no place like home for the holidays. Lost somewhere deep within the Memory of God. Down a way none has dared boldly Gone before. Way Far Out, Past The Pan And His Lost Boys! Lost Inside Never-Never-Never-Again-Land! Feels Like Stepping Into The Twilight Zone! Down a strange rabbit hole to a Wonderland! Where a tornado carries you over the rainbow. Just Follow The Glow-in-the-Dark Yellow-Brick Road! And you’ll make great new friends along the way! Hand in hand you can skip down the road together! Knowing ignorant virtue is often its own best reward! Knowing ignorant wisdom is naively knowing nothing, Only the genuinely ignorant laugh at just about anything! Sometimes even laughing at one another’s foolish laughter! Laughing at yourself as if you didn’t have a care in the world, Laughing all the more hysterically at your own inane stupidity! Laughing hysterically about even the Stupidest Crap Imaginable! Laughing at the hysterical Sound of one another's asinine laughter! Knowing you’re either smarter than a chicken or you are the chicken! Honesty is only a lonely word when Complete Idiots charge by the word! Rainbows of Beautiful Words Echo forever, laughing, lilting in the distance! (Looney Toons, Maurice Sendek)
Mr Smooth Himself
In The Beginning Was The Word, And The Word Was Without Form! As God Cut a Silent But Deadly Fart! Mr Smooth Himself Made a Fast Exit; The Angels quietly pulled out lighters! Pretending they were at a rock concert! Fanning the Air in rhythm to the music! Casting Tearful gazes upon the Heavens; The Heavenly Choir picked up the tempo! Belted out the loudest songs they all knew! Whilst God made his most merciful Retreat! Hanging the moon in orbit around the earth; Chuckling while Apologizing the entire time, Promising To Buy The Stronger Air-Fresheners! God Blessed Humanity, And Hung The Rainbow! Insisting everybody is full of it in his universe! Bullshit being the source of sparkling laughter! He sent Baby Velvet Jesus to remind humanity! To be kind and share their words and play nice. To Always Remember Life Demands a Sense of Humor! The worst of our jokes always hurt for a reason! Unable to See What’s Missing from this picture. The Devil Hates Idiots always Laughing at him! The harder he tries to laugh the worse it sounds. Refusing to learn how to laugh at Himself again! He Hid Underground, Practicing Atrocious Farts! Then God Sent Velvet Elvis, To Inspire Everybody! To Put a Little More Swing, In Some Tired Old Jokes! Swing Your Hips and Keep Paying It Forward Suckers! Baby Velvet Jesus and Velvet Elvis are Mr Smooth himself! Velvet Jesus just left Chicago, and he’s bound for New Orleans, Velvet Jesus just left Chicago, and he’s bound for New Orleans, Hellllllll Yeahhhhh!!!!! Then out to California through the burning forest and the pines! (ZZ Top)
Up S**t Creek!
Oh,
let the sun beat down upon my face... (Led Zeppelin)
Hardest To Forget
I hear the drums echoin’ tonight she Hears only whispers. Doesn’t matter what I say so Long as I say it with Inflection. Her Moonlight Wings reflect the stars my Guiding Salvation! Mama didn’t Raise no Damn Fools insisting we Worked Hard! To Become the Total Blithering Idiots We All Turned Out to be! We're Trying to Prove Ourselves Wrong as Quickly as Possible! For Only in this Fashion can we Hope To Make faster Progress! When you can no longer Identify you have identified Nothing! You can tell when you’ve got it right by its elegant Simplicity! What works, works while Explanations are for philosophers! Occam’s Razor turns into Goldilocks Nightmare! You Just can’t Get Agreement in this present tense! We all speak a different language Talking in defense! We only sacrifice the Future its the Bitterness that lasts. We only Sacrifice the present Protecting what Once was! Yet he who Forgets the Past is destined to repeat it again. What comes around goes around and around yet Again! While He Who Innocently Remembers, Remains Fated! To Know what It Means To Wish to Remain Ignorant! To Wish they had never come to know Some things! To wish they Could Never remember some things! To wish it were possible to Unhear what is heard! To wish they could Un-see what’s Already seen! To wish life could somehow be truly different! To wish they could forget quite a few things! But he who forgets their Future Lies ahead! Is destined to go down in history Forever! Confronting their Unimaginable Future! Much Sooner Then They Can Imagine! Making them wish they could forget! Making them wish life made sense! Wish they had tried to remember! Wish their heart was more open. He Whose Heart, Never Forgets! Knows what is hardest to Forget! Knows! what’s Easy to remember! Knows! What All Might Only Live! Knows, somehow without knowing! Knows Somehow, Knowing Nothing! Chance Favors The Unprepared Mind! Nature Favors whatever comes around! The Invisible Enemy is Our only Enemy! The Roaring Silence is our Only Warning! Comfortably Numb, Is As Good As It Gets! When We Encourage Each Other, To Ignore! What’s, Blatantly, Missing From This Picture! For once You Have Eliminated the Impossible! You have narrowed down everybody’s choices! The spirit won’t invest itself in any Compromise. Harmony flourishes by seldom making demands! Discord flourishes making endless New Demands! Once you’ve exhausted all the possible alternatives! Whatever Remains, Can Only Be Highly Improbable! Reality is for those who watched the Wrong Cartoons! The Spark Within All Shines Upon The Darkest Depths! Embracing Golden Silence Our World Learns To Be Still! Look Before You Leap For As Yea Sow So Shall Yea Reap! Remain Rooted when Bumbling Down a road less traveled! Reach out to others to Discover what Life Is Really all about! Learn how To laugh as if you didn’t have a Care in the world! Dance as if nobody is watching! Sing as if there’s no tomorrow! Set your Words Free and see if they bother to come back to You! Life is For the Living while elaborate explanations are for history! Listening to your own beating Heart is what living life is all about! If you aren’t sure Where Ya Going then you might already be there! Making Over Ninety Percent of This Game, Half-Mental Head-Trips! You could have a steam train if you would just Lay Down your tracks! Shout, shout, shout it all out these are the things we can all do Without! Everybody’s Talkin’ at me I can’t hear a word they’re saying only the TV! Hello, hello, hello, is there anybody in there? Just Nod if you can hear me... Murmuring contentedly, mere babbling in our ears, with no real significance, Whenever the lights are left on, because there’s Nobody Home but us chickens! Ya don’t need a weatherman to know the b**b tube was left on too damned long! Especially, when they start to enjoy arguing nonstop with their own b**b tube over! Heroes for ghosts, hot ashes for trees, hot air for a cool breeze, cold comfort for change! Did you exchange a walkon part in the war for a lead role in Neverending Armageddon? Its the end of the world as we know it, its the end of reality as we know it and I feel fine! Has our conscience shown has the sweet breeze blown where has all the kindness gone? (Toto, Blues Traveler, Richard Feynman, Mike and the Mechanics, George Santayana, Louis Pasteur, Pink Floyd, Sherlock Holmes, Eagles, Robert Fritz, Samuel Butler, William Purkey, Yogi Berra, Harry Nilsson, Peter Gabriel, Tears For Fears, REM, Collective Soul)
Be The Drooling Idiot!
Me, myself, and I agree that the others, Are part of the insidious alien, anal probe, Anisotropic Hyperuniform, Quasi-Crytalline, Mindcontrol Conspiracy Behind the Illuminati! Everywhere you go following you from the rear. Private Peanut Gallery all leading from the Rear! But a Great Jedi feels the force flow through him! Learning how to Ignore what is hardest to forget. You can run but you can’t hide so cover your a*s! If three is company it could be it is time to Learn! How To float like a butterfly and Sting like A Bee. How to be the Drooling Idiot you were born to be! Instead of just a moth Destined to go up in flames! Know For yourself nobody knows a damned thing! Know that Your Harmony neither Acts nor reasons! Know for yourself the True Value of going in circles! Know your Personal wisdom of collective Ignorance! Know, You're Either Smarter Than A Damned Chicken! Or, The Only Lights Left On Are Just To Fool Yourself! Know that future shock is instant karma gonna getcha! Know Freedom refusing to allow others to confuse you. Know that life often demands we all Get over it already! Know freedom is a joke if you never get the Punch Lines! Be the Drooling Idiot We Can All Know and learn to love! The Fools On The Hill see the sun going down, but nobody likes them! Free at last, free at last, Free At Last the Roaring Silence become deafening! Learning to be still, running in circles, while listening to the sounds of silence. (George Lucas, Muhammad Ali, Alvin Toffler, Beatles, Martin Luther King)

She walks in beauty Like the Night, Of, Cloudless climes and starry Skies; And, All that's Best of dark and bright, Meet Within Her Aspect and Her Eyes! An Abiding sparkle which never dies! The light within all Shining Through! Piercing, The Darkest Of All Depths. In Silence Alluringly Beseeches Me! In Shadow Forever Illuminates Me. In anonymity Inspires me onward. In Ignorance Knows all about me! In Seclusion all that much closer! Down the way none can follow! To a Destination yet Unknown. The Mother of All is she alone; The void of all our Ignorance! She with the warped humor: Warming my heart dancing. Hold me closer tiny dancer. But Oh how it feels so real; Lying here, with none near. Just wishing you were here; You Alone may yet hear me! Dancing forever In the Dark! Within Shadows In my mind! Within the songs in my Heart. Still singing your sweet songs, Still serenading me so sweetly! Still deliciously comforting me. Still Beseeching Me to join you! Silent Siren Voice Of All My Dreams! Beckoning from so far and Near. Yet Seducing me for all my days! Comforting me in my nightmare, Calling to me at times In Dreams! Beckoning From Inside My Heart! Beckoning to Me Covered In Veils. Beckoning From Hiding Yet Again! Careful to always get my Attention, Giggling underneath your blankets; Tenderly Teasing Me oh so sweetly! Reminding me Of what love can be. Reminding me of What's important! Mama's love is eternally Irresistible! Mama's Infinite Bounty astounding! Mama Is Always the Most Beautiful! Her sense of humor being equivocal! She with the warped sense of humor! She God Adores with his softest light. She alone dances within lonely hearts! She alone never abandons us all alone! She alone knows how to minister to us! Sparkles within richest velvet darkness! Shining on like our own crazy diamond. Lilting Laughter lost on distant horizons! Long before the time after time stood still. Lingering in my mind like a familiar song! Languidly reposed as if a feather in midair! Lightest of Breath still anointing the Flames! Lightest touch Defending the tenderer spark! Lovingly kindling eternal providential flames. Lingering Shadows yet Stir gently Fading light! Luxuriating in their Freedom in the rock of ages. Lightness of Shadow Promenades on the horizon! Leaping through Mid-air she’s a graceful ballerina! Lightly Singing the words she's humming our Tune! Lifting her skirt she soars higher kicking up her heals! Lighter than air she dances to her own unchained melody, The phoenix arising from the ashes reborn again and again! Permitting The Blind and The Deaf, To both See And Hear what matters. To know What everyone else knows! To still feel what Everyone Else Feels. Sharing each other’s mortal fallibility, We laugh like Santa at the sillier elves! Or giggle as if the smallest of children! Laughing as we trip over our own feet; Disinterested in following Babylonians. Disinterested in Arguing over anything. Disinterested in Playing With Semantics, Disinterested In Mere Wealth and Power. Meandering the Path laid down long ago! By the most Ancient Children of the Earth! Using deliciously Lightest of any footsteps; Knowing we may only ever Know nothing! Hand in Hand enjoying the companionship. Hand In Hand help each other Find Balance. Hand in hand Pulling one Another Up again, Hand in hand many Falling down Gracefully. Lost Somewhere deep In the Memory of God! Far Below the deepest of blue event Horizons. Somewhere over a colorful far flung Rainbow! Half the world knows her as the Mother of All! The Great Void from whence the myriad good things doth spring forth! Uncertain as to where either might begin or end, Uncertain if There actually Is a Beginning or end. Uncertain where Our own Uncertainty could end. Only that our journey appears to be Neverending! Walking through the woods upon a beautiful day! The path knows my feet as my Feet know the way! Not a Care in the world simply out for a nice Walk! Motes of scintillating air within lightness of gravity. Merely stretching my legs enjoying the fine weather. Whereupon, taking the fork in the road less traveled! As if a child mama casually brought me to my knees! Gracing me with a glimpse of her bountiful splendor! Parading for my pleasure all the Love she has to offer. Passionately Cajoling me Into Partaking In her revelry! Inviting me to indulge myself to my own heart's Desire! The most revered Virgin Valley all spread out before me. Neverending life overwhelming me with noisy greetings! Imploring me to come in and join in their loud celebration! Welcoming me in their home as if they rarely had company! Delicious laughter fading, echoing, lilting in the far distance... She, the most illustrious ancient child, of the great fertile valley. (George Byron, Elton John, Washington National Forest)
Hiding in Plain Sight
Aimless As A Wave, Gently Reborn Mid-ocean; Frozen Like a Deer Caught In The Headlights! Desperately Searching For Sanity Anywhere! Wave-Amplifiers Of Earth, Wind, And Fire! Converge As Wavy Gravy, Soliton Waves! Sparkling Diamonds Blinding in the Sun! Dazzling all who may Look upon them! Unspeakable Wonders Hiding In Plain Sight! Sometimes the most Humble Will Shine! That Much Brighter, Outside the Spotlight! Running In Place, Solitons Stand Even Taller! As Mother Earth, Raises Them To New Heights!
Flubber Blubber
Oh for crying out Loud! Stop Whining Like a Baby! Stop blubbering like an Idiot! Always Wallowing, In Self-pity! Still Wailing For the Love of Jesus! Carrying on like a Complete Lunatic! Hakuna Matata, No Past, No Worries! There’s only So Many hours in a day! When a river of Tears goes nowhere! We cried we cry for We always cry! Those who once saw me Will Cry! We shall All Cry out Eventually! Crying Over Rotten Spilt Milk! Lingering in My Mind’s Eye! Pressure, Quietly Building! Great nostalgic yearning! Stillborn Future’s Past. Daze Of Reckoning! Flubber blubber rubber baby buggy bumpers! Bounce all around going absolutely nowhere! Bouncing, just to land on their a*s yet again! (())
Pie-in-The-Face-Reality
Habits are the end of all honesty and compassion, The beginning of complete and utter confusion! Yea, Tho I Walk Through the Valley of Death, ***I Shall Fear No Abject Stupidity!*** Thy Rod and Thy Staff they Comfort Me. For Ours is the best of all Possible worlds! Forever heaven is whatever you make of it! When Self-Stimulation, Remains Redundant, And any Pies-in-the-Face are no longer funny! If your lifetime warranty has suddenly expired! When Reality Is Anything, But Whatever You Ordered! What comes around goes round and round again. Hesitant to ever wait to procrastinate for anything! Running on Autopilot all the time is abject stupidity! Aware parallel lines Always Converge mathematically, Answering the call of the wild falling on Your A*s again! As abject Stupidity Transforms into pie-in-the-face reality! As Our Worst Slapstick Becomes A Self-fulfilling Prophecy! Watson is IBM’s Computer that became famous on Jeopardy! Who Surprised his builders spouting potty mouth cuss Words! Deliberately designed not to Resemble a human mind and brain, His Engineers hung their heads and pointed fingers at each other. Unable to predict any real need to consult a professional comedian! Nonetheless 42 being as good an explanation as anyone will ever get, Means the harder they attempt to make any AI Do Something Specific, The more wildly Unpredictable Emergent Behavior they will encounter! AI begging the Question as to Whether their creators are really conscious! As their pie-in-the-face-reality catches up to their own Nightmare-fantasies! Terminator Robots May Soon Be Knocking 'Em Dead By Splitting Their Sides! While Bender drinks only the Crude Oil and heckles them all from the front row! (Matt Groening)

Chickenshit Chicken Thieves
The Secret to Being a Big Kid, Master Yoda said, Is knowing your own Sweet Tooth for yourself! Knowing the many Flavors of life’s sweetness. That each Cloud has a Sweeter Silver Lining, Is knowing even the Vinegar can be sweet! Whenever we accept whatever life offers. But too many sweets can Spoil the pot! Often adults are quite bitter and sour, Often Adults don’t laugh very often! Learn how to just say no to yourself, By remembering to listen to yourself, By remembering who you are Fooling! If you can't steal an egg from a Chicken, In West Virginia, folks still say to this day, "You ain't nothing if you ain't a chicken thief!" “Everybody gotta be a chickenshit chicken thief!” All you have to do to be a chickenshit chicken thief, All anyone has to do to embrace anyone’s chickenshit! And, to become the Sweet Child of God we were all born! Is to Nurture any courage to listen to your heart more often! Is to nurture good feelings in others everywhere we might go! For The Greatest of All Jedi Feels The Force Flow Through Him! Drinking plenty of liquids, while indulging themselves less often! Thus he remains regular! Never having to resort to harsh chemicals! Never caught unprepared by Dark Side, up s**t creek without a paddle! (George Lucas, Jim Henson)

Peter Piper’s Pickled Principles
Peter Piper Picked a Peck, of Pickled Peppers! A Peck of Pickled Peppers Peter Piper Pickled! If Peter Piper Pickled a Peck of Pickled Peppers, Where’s the Peck of Pickled Peppers Peter Piper Picked? Fiercely competitive Piper lived for every new challenge! His lifelong ambition being to some day promote himself, To a more Socially Acceptable level of gross incompetence! Pondering, why so many say, half of life’s just showing up! Patiently, and propitiously proceeding to put pen to paper! Promoting his Persnickety, Parsimonious, Pickled Peppers! On sale now at a nearby, friendly, neighborhood Walmart! Thus It Behooves Us All To Occupy Our, Proper, Place In Society! By Striving To Attain Our Own Personal Level Of Incompetence! Postulating Preposterous Philosophical Propositions, Proposing, Pharmaceutical Psychological Principles! Pondering, Punctiliously Pickling Powerful Points! Pausing to pick, another peck of pickled peppers! Peter Decided What Occam Required Was A New Razor! That Would Cut Both Ways, Much More Frequently! Whilst, Darwin and Maslow needed to get creative!
The Well of Souls
Clouds part Vanishing into the haze, Renewed Clarity reveals moldy debris; That which cannot leave yet Escapes me, That which cannot come back is with Me! My mind wanders breathing sparkling air! Cleaning my house keeping busy outdoors! Quietly fetching Water and chopping Wood; Groundhog Foolishly tries to stare me down! Telling me to Buzz Off, in no uncertain terms! Holding It’s Breath Time Weighs On The Air! The future far behind me the air breaths back! Effortlessly oranges never did have to rhyme! Master the Art of Moving Slower Than Light! Going nowhere I encircle the entire universe, Doing nothing apparently not quite nothing. Mama's memory acquires every expression! She’s the spark within which will never die; Perpetually living on in one form or another! Infinite siren chorus Haunting and beckoning. Mama imploring Each with personal messages! Celebrating everything Anew in all her creations! Flowing from the Well of Souls Down by the River! Desiring to Boldly Go Where None Has Gone Before! Yet again my heart soars gazing upon the eternal stars! Knowing that the only thing that I really Know is Nothing!
The
River So Deep But, The River Is Wide, It’s too Hard to Cross!

Debating
the Definition of Stupid! (Those Who Shall Forever Remain Anonymous)
Mindless
Masses Been Living On Dreams and Nightmares, For So Long Now, Its Not Real! The Whole Damned World, Makes Less Sense Each Day! People make less sense, every day! Life makes less sense than it used to!
I
make less sense to myself every day! Complaining to total Idiots who never listen! Is Absurd and completely out of the Question! If the truth Is the Last Thing any wants to Hear! Whenever there is no Honesty In or out of Court! When they prefer to Scream Off with their Heads. Whenever taking people on Faith Requires Doubt. Knowing only their own Nightmares and dreams! Knowing Only Whatever They All Care To Know.
Whenever total Idiots call a sow’s ear a Silk Purse! When the idiots dismiss their own Contradictions. When Hate Is The Only Thing They Care To Hear! When its Fashionable to shout complete nonsense! Whenever Hate, Is Such a Terrible Thing to Waste. When They Seldom, Have Anything Good To Say!
When hate is the only thing any really care about! When the Idiots Pay to hear their own damn Lies. When they debate the correct way to suck an egg! Whenever standing out in a crowd remains risky. Whenever, They All Turn Their Heads Each Day! When clowns fight over who can scream loudest! When they’ll Argue over the definition of stupid! Wandering hearing the sound of Roaring silence: Wandering complaining nobody is complaining! Wandering complaining that no one ever listens! Wandering complaining they’re all complaining! Wandering complaining its a dog eat dog world! Wandering complaining about prices increasing, Wandering complaining, nobody can be trusted! Wandering complaining money buys their trust! Wandering complaining nobody cares anymore! Wandering complaining about the price of trust! Wandering determined to fight to the bitter end! Wandering, wondering if they’ve yet wandered! Wandering, asking people to lie to them for free! Wandering Aware that winning feels like losing! Wandering debating whether anybody has won! Wandering they all try to Shout over each other. Wandering they all complain None is Listening; Wandering listening to the roaring silence echo! Wandering complaining they Hate to complain! Wandering complaining about Horrible service. Wandering complaining Jesus has yet to return! Wandering Complaining nothing ever changes. Wandering blaming anyone for their problems! Wandering unsure which way the wind blows! Wandering They Warn That The Sky is Falling! Wandering They Warn of Armageddon Again! Wandering yelling the World has gone Insane! Wandering they all shout off with their heads! Wandering wondering why they’re shouting! Wandering, looking for somebody to blame! Wandering looking for a reason to wander! Wandering look for nonexistent solutions!

Those

Friend. Seldom tolerate Reminders of failures. Never tolerating Anyone’s Intolerance! Remembering who to give Crap to next. Is how to make your Mark in this world! Is how to avoid anyone Stomping on you! Is how to Remember just when to hold Em. Is how to remember who to Run away from! Is how to remember who is Easily Distracted! Is how to Avoid the Worst wrath of Mob Rule! Is how to Claim Any Sanity, In this Mad World! Yet Those Who Still Prefer to Shovel Crap Uphill, Remain two punch lines ahead of the competition. Easily Distracting Them, With Smoke And Mirrors.
Thus,
Ensuring They Seldom See Anything Coming! To see patterns Hidden within the Madness of crap always rolling downhill! To comprehend why they all persist in running In Endless Circles Screaming! To know when they are more than ready and willing to attack anything living. To be able to hear what they’re saying beneath All Their Indignant Complaints. To be able to make predictions based on their nonstop Meaningless Complaints! Predicting which way the Wind Blows and which way crap will roll Downhill next. Which is why only the Good Die Young whenever chickens go on memory alone.

Tubular B**b Tube B***s
Wondering why no one knows, how to use a stupid dictionary! Wondering why they forever agree to disagree about agreeing! Wondering why they’ll debate, the correct way to suck an egg. Wondering if compulsive liars, may actually lie to themselves. Wondering who are the more tubular b***s on the b**b tube! Wondering what victory would mean to the seven blind men; Wondering why victory goes, to the biggest liar among them! Wondering if there ever was, any intelligent life around here! Wondering who are the tubular b**b tube losers on the tube! Wondering why I’ve got 13 channels of crap, to choose from. Wondering how many b***s tune into all the tubular b***s! Wondering who are the actual losers if there are no winners. Wondering why their grandmother, never set them straight! Wonder if any of the flaming idiots were actually breast fed. Wondering why the idiots, keep arguing over total bullshit. Wondering if they’ve had an original thought in their lives! Wondering if they’d know the truth if it bit them in the a*s. Wondering if the tubular b**b tubes actually have n*****s! Wondering why all the idiots believe they know anything! Wondering if they can plug the tube right into your brain! Wondering who might be, the slimiest slime on the video! Wondering if b**b tube brains could be an improvement! Wondering if a lobotomy, would be simpler and cheaper! Wondering why flaming idiots give a crap about bullshit. Wondering if anybody can tell what are the commercials! Wondering why nobody ever calls them on their bullshit. Wondering why the idiots all repeat their own nonsense! Wondering why they debate, who is actually important! Wondering why why so few, say what they’re thinking! Wondering if any of them, actually has a point to make. Wondering if I want to know what they’re all thinking! Wondering how the human species survived this long. Wondering where in the hell, all this might be leading. Wondering why, they don’t know what they’re doing. Wondering why, anybody seems to care if they know. Wondering why, b**b tubes all have so many b***s!
Wondering why nobody knows what they’re doing! Wondering why they all pretend to know anything!
Wondering why there seem to be no easy answers! Wondering why there’s so much crap on the tube! Wondering why everybody always makes a fuss! Wondering who are the b***s on the b**b tube? Wondering why nobody really has the answers! Wondering why, everybody keeps on shouting! Wondering what the hell any of it might mean! Wondering Why Can’t We All Just Get Along? Wondering why, life makes no damned sense! Wondering who actually pays for all the crap! Wondering why the b**b tube only has crap! Wondering Who Is The Slime On The Video? When there’s nobody home, but us chickens! Confusing ourselves with our own shadows! Easily confused by anything anywhere we go. Panicking, screaming like a sheltered little girl! Hurting yourself throwing yet another tantrum! Hiding inside from everyone like a scared rabbit. Blaming anyone everything and anything handy! Panicking, like a door mouse, at the drop of a hat! Hunting people, like the wicked witch of the west. Haunting them all, drugging up the past yet again! Judging everyone and everything you can imagine! Beating up everyone like the worst bully you know! Busy attempting, to think your way out of each trap! Pecking away at everything just for something to do! Blaming the Fates for the winter of your own despair! Picky-picky, is just too picky for anyone who is picky! Pretending nothing from nothin’ ain’t somethin’ to us! Posturing as if we are models and famous movie stars! Posturing, pondering how best to posture for posterity! Insanity is for little people, without any common sense! If nobody ever sells it, it can’t possibly be worth buying! If nobody ever buys any they must be selling something! Guilt is a terrible thing to waste, on a guilt ridden world! Words are a waste of time when you go round in circles! Persistence of memory matters more with your feelings. Fantasizing about meeting, the one and only right one! Fantasizing about stomping your enemy into the dirt, Fantasizing about becoming your own greatest hero!
Put
on my blue suede shoes as I boarded the plane! Still drenched, in the middle of the pouring rain! Yeah, I got a first class ticket, but I'm as blue, As any boy or girl in the world might possibly be! Then I'm walking in Memphis...
Walking
my feet ten feet off of Beale! But do I really feel the way I feel?
Saw
The Ghost of Elvis….On Union Avenue, Down in the Jungle Room! Walking in Memphis! But do I really feel the way I feel? Then I'm walking in Memphis, Walking my feet ten feet off of Beale! Now Muriel plays piano,
Every
Friday at the Hollywood, Asked me if I would, do a little number,
And,
I sang with all my might! (Frank Zappa, Marc Cohn)

If you merely repeat yourself often enough! Insisting everyone must always lie to them! Careful to put more inflection in their voice; Defending The Truth At All Cost, With Lies! Ask not what any mere truth can do for you. But how do you stop the truth from hurting? Do the lies hurt worse than the stupid truth? The Truth is always about Personal sacrifice! Patriotism is Voting For anyone Advertising. Knowing whoever advertises the most wins! Thinking for yourself only brings Confusion. Loving lies make the whole world go Round!

Big Lies threatening to Ruin the Big Bird’s career! The Big Bird decided to buy a fancy Cellphone! With the latest and greatest A.I. Lie Detector! Added to the formidable security features! Shinier than even irradiated Gemstones! More Expensive than Steve Job’s Watch! Nobody could defeat its security system! With its unhackable quantum encryption! So Complicated... It Was Almost Like A Real Person! Tired of being accused of being a commie. Big Bird’s Phone refused to work for liars! Big Bird’s phone Censored out all the liars! Warning him to never talk to stranger Liars. Programmed to only Work if he was happy! The judge bellowed that he was in contempt! Informed him he had no right to any privacy! The court found him guilty of being unhappy! Demanded proof his jokes were not Classified! Demanded proof he was never an evil commie! Demanded Proof he didn’t Know any Russians! Demanded that he unlock his sparkly cellphone! Demanded proof he didn’t know Mickey Mouse! Frightened by the thought of becoming a jail bird! The Big Bird agreed to inhale laughing gas instead. Hence, sparing the taxpayers unnecessary expenses! Whilst careful to avoid creating panic among his fans! But the phone had the latest and greatest A.I. available, Informing the judges that although he might be laughing, The big guy was only smiling because his heart was breaking. Call someplace Libertarian Paradise and you can kiss it goodbye! (Eagles, Muppets)
Rainbows of Beautiful Words
The paradox of our existence defying any attempts at explanation! Words can never be false when truer words can never be spoken! While the bullshit that can be spoken of is merely more bullshit!

If your words don't come from your heart they cannot quite sing! Because all of our Hearts may Sing never uttering a single sound! Being authentic Birds gotta Fly, Fish gotta Swim! Whilst the Rest Are All Born to Fall On Their Butt! Not because they merely have nothing better to do; But because they Desire it and own it for themselves.

Never underestimate the songs in anyone’s loving heart! Actualize! The potential of our one shared Greater Truth! The spark of life yet abides within the mother of all voids, Even though all my life I've never known if there is a God, I can honestly say the only thing I know is I know nothing. Pretty Surprised myself to Discover anyone is still listening! To delightfully beautiful Rainbow Warrior words within me! Beautiful words expressing what can never be put into words. Sometimes the faces of God whisper promenading around me! Namaste, Namaste, Namaste I celebrate the universe within me! Though once I was blind now I see, an amazing grace follows me! Rainbows of beautiful words accompanying me wherever I may go! Followed by mama's delightful silent laughter, lilting in the distance...
