Do you remember the time
When the things that were real
Were the morning and the sun,
The evening and the moon,
Your faith, family, friends
And your lover,
A dog and a cat
Came along and were gone
You remember them still,
Like the laughter in the wind
And the tears in the rain,
Why not go back again
To the things that are real.

Dreaming Do
Like three, six, nine,
Comes alive
When you know the signs,
To see your dream
Come alive and true,
First you dream
And then you do.

Small town
Somewhere in Canada,
Where the clique
Reigns supreme
And a young
Person’s dream
Is a threat
To the old school’s
Plutocracy ,
Small town
Somewhere in Canada,
Where new ideas
Are trimmed
And held at bay
By dead minds
And new world
Bureaucracy.

Watching Trudeau hiding scandals
Like a cat covering diarrhea,
Watching Democratic vandals
Blaming the Russians
For the Biden laptop
Revelations,
Watching politicians climbing
Out of the stagnant pool
To point fingers and bullshit,
Watching intelligence agencies
Floating in the slime like
Crocodiles with only their
Eyes breaking the surface,
Watching the mainstream media
Clapping and cheerleading
Manipulating viewers like fools
And then,
The whole sordid mess
Is aptly framed by the
Toobin incident.

Of course there are many rumours,
Remote internment camps,
Tracking chip implants,
Social score system,
Government controlled
Digital currency,
Of course no one believes
The rumours,
Was it that way in Germany
In the nineteen thirties and forties,
Most accept lockdowns and
Wear the masks for fear of death,
Many are glued to TV sets for the
Latest statistics and instructions,
A few with ominous thoughts and feelings
As they watch Agenda 21 – the Great Reset –
Inching closer like slow moving lava.

Do you squirm
When you read about
The Nazi’s quest for a
Perfect world,
Do you squirm
When you hear about
Social scores and the
Uighurs’ plight in China,
Do you squirm
When people are treated
Like non-humans in your
Own country,
What about
Agenda 21, the great reset,
The new world order.

A Parrot and a Mugshot
As one-sided as can be
Claim they have the right
To be the authority,
The dias has a bias
As does the news
With Jackasses in their pockets
They have nothing to lose.

Living
On the North American side
Of the Ring Of Fire,
On the edge of the locked
Cascadian Subduction Zone,
320 years since the last
Mega-thrust slip,
Most unaware
Few even care
And yet,
A bug from Wuhan
And we shut the country down,
The WHO pulling u-turns
Politicians like interns
People in masks
Hiding at home,
All morphed into
Chicken Littles.

After fifty plus years
Of counting down the hours
To place an X in the appropriate
Box,
One comes to the realization
That it doesn’t really matter
In which box the X is marked,
Similar lies from different colored
Ties
Taunt and laugh that you didn’t
Catch on sooner,
Perhaps that’s why the US silent majority
Looks to the rebel Trump to kick the shit
Out of the corrupt and stagnant boxes.

When you look at
Your children
And they are almost
As old
As your grandparents were
When you were four,
What do you think,
When you see young people
Not more than eighteen
In masks and black
Waving their fists
In the faces of an
Elderly couple
Drinking coffee
At an outside table,
What do you think,
When you listen to
Bureaucrats and politicians
Posturing, deceiving, contriving,
Covering their scandals and bullshit
Like a cat covering its crap,
What do you think.
