STUPID CLOUD #3

History, that joke everybody invites into their minds,

like taking medicine to keep us sick, to promote

the cloudiness there, was last seen for the hoax

it is shortly after two back-to-back world wars

destroyed forever our faith in each other and

we in the USA forgot that all the Giants before

had fucked things so badly we could not bear to

look at what had been done in the names of our

flags and the USA obediently took its turn as

lords of destiny for all mankind.

Hey, you have to remain convinced of a cloud of stupidity

to suffer this world's countless laughable images. Nations

are imaginary. All of them, not just the other guy's. Yours!

There is no cloud where your information is stored. You think

that way simply because you believe yourself to be unworthy

of freedom. Undeserving of real strength. You are your only

hope for an escape from the programmed nuthouse.

One nut at a time.

I heard an intelligent man speak recently of what it means to be.

an American. He is capable. Has lots of money. He is a boss.

Yet he chooses to speak of clouds that do not exist. What it means to be

an American? Only someone who is willing to falsify a presentation

to others will talk in such a manner.

Nobody is American. The ones who call themselves that have the least

right of all to the name.

We are all of us simply individuals. We are what the wind says we are.

Listen. Ask, instead, what does it mean to be alive? Fail in this and

remain in the nuthouse. A place anything can happen.

Many inside the circle of nuts have promised to straighten out the circle

of idiots from inside it. They write greed driven memos and books and

hold seminars and lead retreats and give sermons and speeches while they

live off the war.

What the Hell good is that?

How, pray tell, can a greedy man teach another greedy man

to stop being greedy?

Okay, the country song goes,

“I'll be at peace when they lay me down”

But, listen, should you fail to find the peace

you wish for before death, how you gonna find

it as a skeleton?

I mean, if you cannot find it with a living brain

tied to a living heart...and a lantern...and both

hands...well, what have you to complain about?
