What if the World is flat after all
What would that mean
Would it alter my steps
Would it change the axis around which I spin
They say it is a spinning sphere
Hung like a blue marble in black space
But They say lots of things and it changes like the wind blowing this way and that
They used to say it was flat
Pluto used to be a planet too
Then it was not, now who knows
Can someone remind me if eggs are still bad for you
Is it Global Warming or Global Cooling or just Change now
It is hard to keep up between seasons of American Idol and Netflix marathons
It is hard work whoring myself for the next newest shiny thing They say I must have to be complete
I need to turn on the programming written for my particular demographic to get my bearings
Let’s see . . . what trifle shall I mediate on today
Whose direction will fill my thoughts and be parroted with borrowed words
Am I against Christians or Gay people, Black or White Devils or the manipulated Mexicans brought in to fill a growing gap
Do I care more about puppies than baby parts
Will I kill you over an idea that you are an idea, a label not a soul
Existential unnamed rage projected onto the stereotypes injected into my mind
Or will today be a time to remember that I forgot to feel terrorized
By the ones They have created, pissed on and off, and financed
Cause if I am angry about flags and fags or pants that sag I won’t consider
It will never enter my mind that perhaps I am asleep dreaming I am awake in this hall of mirrors
A prison of half-truth and misdirection, held captive by the cage created in my mind
Fighting for the crumbs from Master’s table that I have built and even now sustain
Righteous anger aimed amiss is an impotent thing and is no threat to Them
It only tightens the noose and the more I struggle the less I can breathe
That is why it was said to turn the other cheek. It dissipates Their power
They feed off the struggle of the pawns and the knights, the bishops and the royal court who think they are players
But no, they are being played, both king and pawn.
The game is played above their heads with pillars and ladders to heaven
Whether one travels a space at a time or the length of the board it is still on the square, boundaries defined by the Makers of the game
Rules and moves defined, determined by demographic, groups magically manipulated by the illusion of averages and statistics
Groups cannot think, only individual souls might consider that there may be better questions that would reveal the real play
A soul might pause and wonder why is it that they ask Them for permission to marry in the first place or why it is we seek a right that we already posses
A soul may ask how it is that we have surrendered our authority to smiling sorcerers and devils that claim to own this world and us through Divine Right
Birthright traded for a bowl of beans, distraction of their fertility rituals, and conjured safety
For They promise security and solutions from threats and problems They created
They break my legs and I gratefully accept the crutches They provide from my labor
And I will continue to eat the poisoned food and water They make available then come flaccid and fat and weak, hat in hand begging my Masters for Healthcare
I will not give a moment’s thought to Their mass genocide, drug trade, trafficking in children for sex, starvation of tens of thousands because it is convenient, expedient for Them
No, but I will fight for my right to remain a slave to the business of the MON EYE god they serve, stay discontent in my little cube as they offer me up as a sacrifice to the Lord of the Rings
It is all business, nothing personal, I am a number, a member of a group and have grown accustomed to my bondage
My chains may be of iron or gold yet chains they remain
And I will be on guard to protect my status
It is what I have traded for my empty, grasping, and envious soul
I have become my own prison guard policing myself and others ever watchful for the code words that signal a breach in the walls of my demographic
Cracker, Nigger, Faggot, they change through the years and the current context of culture
They are a function not a person, but if I am a statistic what do I know of spells and incantations spoken over me from my birth
Flags and Fags and pants that Sag are the current code words which illicit the predictable preprogrammed patterned response
I will watch as they change business models based on trends and temperament of the slaves
Socialism, Capitalism, Fascism, Communism, are all isms and ocracys and any will serve them at need
It is all the same game to them and they need good ignorant slaves whatever They call them or the system dejure
Even if one wants to be a “good” Master, they still want to be Master
But, what if the world is flat after all
What would that mean
Would it alter my steps
I think not. They come one yard at the time either way
I encounter one soul at the time too. I have never met an average or a median or mean
Men and women and boys and girls given rights by their Creator
Given seeds and water and earth and resources for life in love and grace, not walking death and slavery
Real change happens in the heart and the mind as we awaken and shake off the webs they weave
They can only do what we allow, it is all a head game played by our leave
No is the most powerful word
There is no need to fight anything but the fear and the addiction to what does not satisfy anyway
P.S. It is interesting that the UN uses a Flat Earth map. What’s up with that?
P.S.S. They said it was flat, then a ball, but now use a flat map, I wonder what people will do when They tell them that the Aliens are here to save us and it is important to submit to trans-human implants?
P.S.S.S. It all sounds crazy when it is first said. It always has because it’s different. It sounded crazy when they told you not to shit your pants anymore too. Your world was shaken but you learned to handle your shit differently.
P.S.S.S.S. The funny and sad part is that some folks will take more issue with the map and alien stuff than the slavery they are living.
P.S.S.S.S.S. Just remember that if there is fear and a promise of safety They generated the fear and built the pens for everybody to run into. That is the real game.
P.S.S.S.S.S.S. Perfect love casts out fear – Love, Your Creator
🙂 Be Groovy!
I’m too lazy to write a book 🙂
Now, THAT is one i.m.p.o.r.t.a.n.t. piece of work, my friend Plato. Thanks for writing it. ‘Whether one travels a space at a time….” I hear several songs in this one.
Boy isn’t THAT the truth! There’s a whole book there pert near!
It was long enough for several.:) thank you for your gracious comment.
I could see you with feet up on the desk smoking a cigar, slowly stirring whiskey straight up…. 🙂
I think its the Southern sultry voice, or maybe because I kept thinking of Walt Whitman and Mark Twain for some reason
only the ones who have no Faith in anything will be offended…
I enjoyed this open window of fresh air very much, Thank you for sharing your thoughts….
Take Care…You Matter…
maryrose
Single Malt 🙂 Thank you for being here.
I thoughts LOLs…
You’re Welcome, glad to meet you here in cyberspace 🙂
very groovy. Nice writing, a little deep, must reread it again but I do know that no one can make me feel or think what I do not chose to, what I do not believe, I don’t play their games, I won’t. I am not a sheep, but do feel sorry for all those who are. And I love excessive verbosity!! 🙂 Michelle.
🙂 I think it was cultural commentary as much as anything. I was not thinking of individuals but group think I guess and trying to describe how it seems to work to some degree. Perhaps what I was describing was my own process of waking up over the years more than anything else and what i see going on. I am glad every time you stop by. Thank you.
I am glad for your process of waking up! I have experienced that process as well! I really do feel a ground swell of people waking up, I think we are living in a time of a possible evolutionary leap, not for everyone but for a lot of people. 🙂 Michelle
I am glad you are out there. Thank you for being here.
Brilliant response Pluto, you made me smile on a very wet, cold and miserable English July afternoon.
🙂 he’s just playing. So was I. I’m glad you joined in.
Um…I don’t get it!
Are you saying that Pluto is flat, or that Crackers need to tan?
And why are there no cartoons in this post?
Yes
Lordy! You two make a fine pair! Giggle! 😀
Oh, then I DO get it!!
Great, long, salient read.
Exvessive verbosity can help with sleep at times. 🙂
LMBO!!!
Excellent! …. And I am not speaking on behalf of Capitalism, mind you!!! ✨
All my best wishes! Aquileana
Thank you so much. 🙂 Seems to me that the different systems as they stand are just different franchises for different markets all feeding the hidden owners. Blessings my friend.
Wow wow wow!! What an AMAZING poem!!! Loved hearing it, too. I can’t always get audio or video where I live. Weak internet, but I got to hear this and was glued to every word. Fantastic! So true and so genuine. Thank you.
Mary
Thank you Mary. It means so much when talented thoughtful people like you take the time to play with me.
No one should be offended by the truth, well said.
Good morning sugar. At least it is here.
It’s a thought provoker, mind stoker, left out not a thing, in true colors it will ring, the telling of slavery,
by the puppeteer of depravity. I heard nary a word that was rougher than the stinking breath of the puffer…
It deserves so much applause, like the freedom fighter with a cause.
Twas groovy, man. And we love ya for who you are.
You are Groovy! 🙂
Oh it just came to me… was watching something from youtube, all 60s music and remember the days of the ‘Love In?” Well, we can have a “Groove-In” And the song that might be one that can be used for it is “Groovin'” by the Rascals! 🙂
Groovin’…on a Sunday afternoon….
What? Are you saying the world’s no longer flat? You got me in such a panic that I couldn’t focus on your poem. Maybe you should have dealt that shocker a bit more gently.
Seriously though, I’m impressed with your focus. You don’t leave anything out, do you? I like being me, but I’m beginning to wish I had your mind.
This is a big, wonderful poem, and a powerful way of spreading the word.
It reminds me once again that those in power are the very people who shouldn’t be, because they’re generally there for the wrong reasons.
I don’t suppose you’d consider changing the world by becoming the President of the US of A?
Plato for President! Thanks Jane for that. I read this this morning then, had to do some things today, haul steel that didn’t get hauled, but I was thinking about you on my drive back home. Therer is no fluff in your head dear friend. Deep thinkers are my kind of people.
Do you realise that in March I said I’d have to keep up with your blog? And yet I haven’t been back since, untiltoday. That would be because I forgot to click “follow”.
Hey friend. 🙂
My life’s been complicated lately, so I keep disappearing. If you don’t see me for a while, it’s not that I’ve lost interest.
I understand. I will reserve a seat for you here. There will always be a place with your name on it waiting for your visit.
I’ll be happy on the floor with a cushion.
Keeping up is relative:) Ball dropping is allowed and encouraged so that you can take care of you and do what you need. We catch up and follow when we can. So glad to see you again. I do the same thing. I used to have more time to read, then I started moving and “blam” a month just vaporized. I thought you were about to move too, so I expected to hear from you eventually. 🙂
I found a home. It’s in an area that I used to dislike, but I love living here. I’m on the third story of an apartment block with a lovely view of fields, trees and sky. I can see the sunset through my window each evening.
It’s strange, having a secure place after being homeless.
I’m glad you have a home now. It feels better to have a place to be you.
Hey buddy. See what’s inside this head? Makes me odd. 🙂
My first comment got censored. I said, I’m liking your head, then I thought better of it, got self conscious, then wrote it anyway. Nothing odd about you. I have a very similar thought process. You don’t hang around with that many artist musicians do you? We are all like this Plato. Most people hide it. What is this O D D thing you speak of? Often disturbingly direct? Opinionated dry-humored- disorder? Other daughter’s daddy? 🙂 Just messing with you.
LMBO! 😀
Not pure, also not blushing:)
Funny 🙂
Hi!
Hey sugar.
Hey!
Love it.. As always, pretty much spot on..
I agree with Buckminister Fuller. You don’t change the system by resisting the system, you change the system by creating a new system that renders the old system obsolete. We have the power and ability to create a new system that is fair, just, equitable and sustainable and works for everyone – we can create our own system and just walk away from theirs – walk away from their war machine, their corporate agriculture, their divisive thinking – us against them… we can do that. Or not. Can we?
I think it is possible if enough people awaken to the game. If by resisting you mean fighting the system I agree. Fighting and violence just feeds it. Ultimately any corporate mass system depends on voluntary participation even if it is through lies or fear or the adiction to free stuff. I think some rough times are ahead and at least part of what I need to do is say what I see. Even if it is limited to my perspective
I have a theory. We are already dead, and we don’t know it. That’s my theory and I stick to it.
We are when we exist outside our own groove. 🙂
Yes. Thought is dead; only old knowledge… nothing new in it, always same old, same old…
The world is flat, don’t you know?!
Flat or round It comes to me one step at a time:)
Unless we fly a plane. 🙂
True but there are some folks who wonder about even that. I was thinking anout how all the old and new cosmologies always had a political element shoring up the authority of the ruling class
http://politicalvelcraft.org/2013/05/10/rolling-stone-rothschild-corruption-goes-mainstream/
Yep. Its not even occulted or hidden any longer. Its all published and available for anyone to see if they look.
Wow!!. Your poem is powerful. You told the absolute truth. Remain strong in the Lord, and keep telling everyone what they need to hear, and to Whom they should listen.
Thank you my good friend. I am glad we have you during this time. You are greatly needed. Your light is needed.
It’s even better than what you did earlier. P.S.S.S.S. The funny and sad part is that some folks will take more issue with the map and alien stuff than the slavery they are living. It’s all right there summed up in a nice, neat package. If people don’t get it, it’s because they don’t have ears to hear and eyes to see. The language — if anyone is offended by it then they’ve never stood in a line in a store anywhere and listened to how people talk.ESPECIALLY young people. Young people who need to be made to see NOW so that there’s still a chance this country will wake up, this world will wake up.
P.S.S.S.S.S.S. Perfect love casts out fear – Love, Your Creator Perfect ending. And your audio was amazing. <3
Well that is what has been welling up in me. I’m past caring what most folk think. I’m talking to those who are awake or waking up
AND, your really DID do it without coming across angry. That was an amazing reading of the poem. Is this one you’re going to use with the guys? Perhaps you need to write a group of political commentaries like this. I kept wondering what a student in a high school class would think if they read this in school. THAT would be so interesting.
School is one of the control functions. Individual teachers might risk it but the system has little to do with awakening young minds
Yes, i see it that way, too. I’ve always appreciated your take on the school system. You ought know. You probably hear WAY more about it than most folks from the kids you talk to.
Right on. Write on. You said a lot of true things, Plato.
Thank you Mrs Thing. I was wondering how folks would take this. I am glad to know what I intended got through. Smart strong woman. I am glad we have you in our times.
Phew… What a read… I hope no one takes offense to the strong language but try and understand the message in the piece. Once again phew… Be Groovy … “Perfect love cast out fear” 🙂
I know sugar. I was not trying to be provocative for it own sake. Part of the point was that our culture is more offended by those words than what is happening.
Very true Plato… I could feel the tension in this piece from start to finish. I could tell it was weighing on your heart. All I could think was phew, phew, I know you must feel a sense of relief after writing this… Sometimes we want to speak our truth but feel limited or not sure how others might take it. So we remain quiet and keep our truth stifled. and suffocate ourself. I often wonder about freedom and how free we truly are? When we can’t even speak our truth. We don’t want to offend others but certain things need to be said…As long as it is done in good spirit. I know this comes from a good place. I’m happy for you Plato. Keep being Groovy … I agree with your reply. People take more offense to the words than the truth of the matter…
🙂 sometimes we can offend out of concern. It is the other half of love
