Pensive Patriot (or, Revolution is a Young Man’s Game)

Twenty five years ago

I was all for revolution.

My insular world

made numbers

seem larger (one always feels part of the majority in a group of like minds)

Life goes on,

realization that nobody

actually cares (except for themselves and commodities)

a thread of apathy

running through our

fabric of indifference…..or some such thing…..

They (it’s always THEM!)

are counting on

perfunctory populist thought….or lack thereof….

It was THEM!

slowly stealing our country

as we turned a blind eye

to mediocris endeavors.

D.C. looks like WCW (or Adult Swim)

puffing, posturing,

saying nothing,

and doing less…..or nothing more than required…..

Meanwhile….

Our myopic eyes

feed on pseudo-reality

and bastardized journalism,

genetically modified organisms

eating what little

grey mush remaining

in the flickering glow of

PRIMETIME…..

WE NEED REVOLUTION! 

I am for revolution,

but a one man revolution

is considered

nothing more

than terrorism

by THEM,

at best,

a sure quick death,

(or folding Whitey Bulger’s laundry

after a romantic walk in the yard…)

And I’m not sure

I care that much

anymore…

Besides,

revolution is a young man’s game….

Tiny Rant on Gay Marriage Debate...

What do I think of gay marriage? Absolutely nothing. As a a happily married heterosexual male I do not feel the least bit threatened if men marry men or women marry women. The institution of marriage is not jeopardized within the church, synagogue, or mosque. What business is it of mine or anyone else's for that matter, if some one would like the right to provide for their loved ones when they pass away? Meaning, this is a founding principle of our country, that of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, all of which is extended to those we care about. Most of us, if we are honest and not complete jerks, can agree that nothing would make one so happy on their death bed than to know that the ones you love are taken care of when you die, whomever they may be.

As a narrow minded bigot you have the right to your opinion. That right is guaranteed by our constitution. It also guarantees my right to say you are wrong and a cotton headed ninnymuggins.

As Christians we can defend non issues until we are blue in the face, but the argument remains footle when there are far more pressing issues that we can be addressing. Strain the gnats and swallow a fly. Ack!

I guess I do think something about it.....
