The Callous' Fodder

.
.
.
Yeah, it's true... I'll see them 
in my early morning skies—
perceived because I'm looking 
...with a perspicacious eye.
.
Too... not indifferent to your scoffing
a trifle wounded by your scorn
remains that, yes, regardless, 
they're a truth that's being suborned.
.
See, we don't deal with them! 
We push them to the rear! 
We're cloaked with our "traditions," 
and we're frozen by our fear!
.  
Religiously, we're "counting beans," 
using science for excuses... 
all to disavow "conspiracies" 
acute with the abstrusest!
.
See, the stuff I've seen is present 
to any witness I might have. 
A friend, a'watch there with me... 
like the ones whom I have had? 
...But these are few and far between, 
these few who'd go along—
exploring outer darknesses 
after midnight's "sung her song..."
.
...To "BE" up... so damned early 
that the dogs are still asleep; 
to stumble in the kitchen 
and chance whackin' unshod feet? 
A lot to ask of one not blind 
to disbeliefs one has inside... 
These disbeliefs that one's force-fed 
to clutter up one's mind, it's said.
.
Yeah, we'd go out in the morning 
after, early, getting up, 
and we'd rise up with the lights off 
you know... so rhodopsin has a shot! 
We'd take some cups of coffee 
for the stuff that sharpens skies, 
and you'd watch with me, the UFOs, 
...we'd see with our own eyes!
.
It takes some "long-term" looking 
with the head well-tilted aft. 
People watch you looking 
and pretend it's YOU that's daft!
Though, that long-term look is useful...
It gives one time to think...
on how things fit together
as the cosmos nods and blinks...
It pains the neck a little bit, 
but try to persevere! 
It won't hurt for too much longer!
Then... you start to see them, clear...
.
...Lean up on a hitching rail! 
...I've a low retaining wall... 
It makes "the watching" easier 
as stars wink out or fall. 
...And sometimes skies are fervid 
with a movement of their own; 
the stars then "wondrous wanderers
sans a spot to call their home!
.
I've got some good binoculars, 
and rigged a steady stand; 
the images resolving 
are unmoved by shaky hands. 
They are clear beneath the star-field. 
I can zoom them in quite close. 
They ARE, not merely pelicans... 
...but for sure they won't be ghosts!
.
They're there like... stars set moving
They resolve as "orbs of light"; 
their movements are in magnitudes 
which vary, dark to bright.
They wink with strobe-like brightness 
in a random pattern dance. 
They'll glow like worms, unevenly... 
then out they'll blink, like chance!
They'll slow to almost stopping, 
then they'll speed up to a flash, 
increasing in intensity
or then "dimming out," abashed!
.
It's plain these things are out there 
so it's not that fight I seek... 
(fights about their *existence* 
are all specious, thin, and weak).
.
Though scan the implications! 
It's there one finds the nub... 
of graft which has corrupted us, 
so a few would have "enough."
.  
See, if UFOs infest the skies... 
the order would be NEW! 
It does, in fact, change everything
All outlooks change their view! 
That's still and all, a good thing 
with a future looming down... 
something unpredictable
a concrescence come to town!
.
Too, I'd bet on more autonomy 
as the value to be gained. 
"What's our profit in it,
Catbirds ask in sad refrain. 
See, their catbird seats are up for grabs 
because they've lesser value
Everyone'll be self-sustained
—self-reliant—so... revalued
That's my intuition
that's my optimism, friend, 
that "reach," indeed, exceeds its "grasp," 
or what's "heaven" there for, then?
.
See? They can't "co-opt" the aliens... 
or it would have come to pass
ET would be among us
begging food and hauling trash
...But UFO's are individual, 
they are personal—up close
They'd know the... "individual," 
and it's that approach they chose!
.
...But the "manor lord" won't have it, 
as his meter must be paid (!?!)—
inconvenient and contrary 
are the "beds" that he'd have "made"! 
So then, "reigns" are jerked too sharply 
by "tradition's" hands—which smell! 
These "rich" don't live like "people," see? 
...They've "contempt" that they'd still held!
.
...But, that's the problem neatly!
It's our culture on its rear. 
...And don't think we don't deserve that! 
We'd have earned it? Face THAT! Clear?
.
Too, values that were values "prior," 
before our new "concessions," 
might be found to be the agents 
of our cowardly intentions
Relieved, all bets are cancelled, 
and any "debt" just goes away
We'd find a brand new card game 
is the deal dealt that day!
.
Too, you can bet a *cosmic* card game 
with the deck all "strange" and "new." 
The "cards" will be peculiar... 
@nd th3y'll 83 num83r3d str@ng3ly, t00...
.
What's that left within us, then... 
when our future comes to pass... 
when we've made our fate's transition
and that future's here at last?
.
...Well, all that's left is love and... fate... 
cleaner power we'd all have... 
power more expansive—
a cosmic "kingdom" here at "hand"?  
This is only intuition; 
optimistic, I'd declare. 
...Comes vast "accelerations"; 
I'd contend "concrescence" glares!
.
The sooner we all cop to this... 
the better off we'll be... 
as there's so "much more to 'heaven'
than a "top-class" has, you see?
.
That there's that clear autonomy 
to be found at "zero points." 
That there's, in fact, a "free lunch," 
and that's "hemp," not "smoking joints." 
That there's respect which we don't have 
when we're the brunt despised... 
and mere fodder for the callous few... 
and their psychopathic lies.

Look up and out and in with courage because
the sky is telling truth about your culture
that your culture is too frightened—and too invested—to let you see!

.

Terence McKenna observed that culture is not the individual's friend. Step outside its bounded box to have this demonstrated. Our "Callous" culture, remembering, then, that culture is not your friend, promotes a conformity that marginalizes and homogenizes a population from creative new ideas, good or bad. The history would seem to say that this is not an efficacious endeavor or pursuit. 

No... we're much better off and much better served by a vast marketplace of unruly, conflicting, and divergent... ideas. Conformity is a cloying death, subtle and suffocating. That's the history. That's what all the great literature has said... We'll digress a bit to observe, too, that the more equitably a society treats its Women, the more efficaciously successful that society will be. That's history, too.

Back at the "human potentiality ranch," it's similar to the fact of biological reproduction issued forth from the larger gene pool! More diversity equals more potential for success and failure... still, more "stuff" to try. More not being less, in this case. Try more "stuff" to have more stuff... work.

More ideas means more thinking can be done out of the box, thinking done of needs. Thinking out of the box leads historically, almost invariably, to some kind of useful elevation or progression for the species.

We would be as the gods... and why not? Weren't we struck stupid at Babylon by a collection of jealous gods for similar aspirations? ...Means it's possible, eh?

We could be as the gods... ...though, do we risk another Babalonian spanking? If so, I'd say God's pretty chicken-shit, all respect to God. Why burden us with aspirations forever disallowed? Is that part of the abuse? Is that what heaven's for?

I would aspire to "new things done in an unpredictable way." You, reader? It's how we can push back... even on entropy!

There are rewards to thinking outside the box... even precluding unfortunate consequences, I'm betting.  All our insights and high flying accomplishments come from confident leaps of justified conviction (read: a testing of faith! Untested faith seems valueless!).

There are punishments, too, sure. Today, people are still persecuted for ideas that they have, and they are further pilloried for the lawful expressions of those ideas. Here is your real blasphemy!

The irony is that there can be such egregiously shortsighted enmity in a nation that would otherwise (and so stridently!) pride itself on its appreciation of free expression... that there could be, then, such a gleeful suppression of same! If not gleeful, then arbitrary. If not arbitrary, then unethical. If not unethical, then just plain wrong, wrong-minded, or wrongly motivated eh? Such is likely so.

Not too long ago, less than a hundred years, we lived in an era of a current Republican's dream... it was a reality of unbridled and unregulated capitalism. It was an era without unions, workers' rights, social security, product safety, or individual justice. It was hell on earth for the garden variety human being, illustrating culture's unfriendliness; "Everyman" lived, injuriously, under the perpetual sword of an overly harsh social Damocles, even in our nation of nations... why, especially in our nation of nations!

The moment we began to allow (even grudgingly) for the free expression of ideas (and embrace an efficacious humanism!) is the moment when we begin our aspirations into a 21st Century of productive individual self-determination and self-actualization! 

Not scientism! Sociology! Secular humanism open-minded and self-aware, if dwindled presently, rather using our compelling Cartesianism like a tool for the betterment of "Everyman," not just the stockholders. See, it's the vast majority who can't afford "stock" given the chicanery of the corporations issuing their duplicitous and disingenuous "instruments" of difficult-to-depend-upon... bupkis!

That's what Walt Disney preached in the 50's. Anything was getting ready to happen! It did, too. New things executed themselves in unpredictable ways! Consider the personal computer!

Look at the advancements of the last fifty years and thank a barely tolerated cornucopia of secular renaissance ideas. The suppression of any idea in this context is illogical and corrosively contrary to that continued rise. I suspect that this assertion must be universally accepted. Death seems the only alternative. To whom are the "dark ages" laid but to the backstepping proclivities of the sectarian and violently non-secular.

...And sure!!! There will be bad ideas!!! Remains, that's beside the point! "Bad ideas" will fail because they ARE bad!!! Consider Trump's neo-fascism! It WILL fail. It's a bad idea! 

In the historic bible, God(s) whacked us at Babylon, as was mentioned, for demonstrating the potentiality to be as *they* were, that was their fear... not one wholly omnipotent God, mind you, but many, shall we say genetically superior and enlightened BEINGS—or just from where did genes with no clear analogs in other species... come from... NOT accounted for in our genetic record? Duplication, mutation, de novo gene birth? Maybe... but we don't know what we don't know.

Should we keep faith with a God who whacks us for thinking outside his box? Sounds like the aforementioned abuse to me. Additionally, have you noticed how much less respect each individual person has to be paid as the population goes, steadily and invariably, up—while our religious leaders say, and do, nothing? ...And I mean no thing but that which facilitates themselves or their scurvy priorities.

Ideas... Like... Gylany! Gylany! Learn it! Know it! Live it! Love it!

Somebody knows.
