When the going gets weird #3

Do you know where your Revolution is today?

Poet Mikel K tells it like it is; or at least how K sees it.
I see nothing. I say nothing. I know nothing.

My beard has gotten long enough where I can swallow it, just like I sometimes do my hair.

The milk man had something attached to his telephone, and we were all able to pay by credit card. It made me think that I hadn't seen a Cadillac with a Dead Head Sticker in a long while. The times they were certainly, uh, changing.

My dog, Morrison is a consistent mooch, hovering about the kitchen whenever I am in there, acting aloof, like he is near the refrigerator for love, and not scraps pf food.

Look for Mikel K's Flick, "More Hair," on Mikel K Poet's You Tube Channel.

Axl will never capture The Greatness of His Youth. Can you blame him for trying? I think that sometimes it is best to retire Ahead Of The Game! Here he is, as a kid, performing the song,
"November Rain," with The Real Guns N Roses, and Elton John. (Hey, didn't this performance ocurr
around the time that Axl was accused of not speaking nicely of Gay People?

There is this really cool bug crawling on my desk.

It's 2 a.m. I used to be lonely at this time of day, or drunk.
I have a friend in jail; it's really a bummer.
If I had a spare three grand I'd get him out.
I would have to lecture him a bit, though,
once I did; I'd have to tell him that he hasn't grown,
that he is still doing the same shit that he did
as a kid when I met him. I thought the behavior
was exciting then. I'm old now; I think differently.
Some of us are much better off with the bottle laid down.

I'm listening to Bob Dylan sing "Hurricane." Did Rueben Carter get out of jail, and if he did, how did the rest of his life turn out? Are you a leader or a bum? In 18 years, I will be as old as my father was when he had the heart attack that killed him. Will I live that long? Is Rueben still alive? Did Bob Dylan's song help spring him, if indeed he got sprung? There is Google. There is no excuse for ever again not knowing something. You can look up anything on Google. My computer is a competitor to Google, sometimes. It keeps me on Bing. Fuck Bing; I like Google.

From what I can tell, The Koch Brothers have a lot to do with this drive to eliminate The Middle Class, make us all poor, take away any benefits that the poor get now, and completely destitute us all. What are they; Fascist Nazis?

What's the solution to war?

What's the solution to war?
We should send old men and old women
to war, let them kill themselves off
in the name of bigger cars and better
air-conditioning.

Let the congressmen and the kings,
the presidents and the heads of state
pull out guns and knives and battle
to the death.
Why should my son or daughter fight
for you, you fucking cowards, you killers,
you creeps.

You hide behind your hallow halls,
you hide behind your laws that money buys.

I want you out in the open
looking down the barrel of a gun,
see what my son would see,
before he pulled the trigger,
a man just like himself,
scared just like himself,
put there just like himself
by a man like you.

The blood that spills
the guts that pour
should be yours, Mr. President.

The guts that pour,
the blood that spills
should be yours, Speaker of the House.

The brains that splat,
the guts that pour,
the blood that spills
should be yours, Senator.

Teenagers should not be killing teenagers,
they should be studying math.
or tearing down an engine,
or hitchhiking through Europe.

War is not a game of chess.

The revolution will not be televised
at a five star restaurant

I'm so much a part of
the machine
that I will probably
never revolt against anything
more than the waiter who brings me
my steak cooked incorrectly.

I must end the paragraph that I am working on now; for my pillow calls to me.
Good Night. I Love You. Sweet Dreams.
