Had a blast!!!

People don't drink for the death of it

Or throw bricks at loved ones

And you see it happen

It happens down in savage land

In a sewer full of rats

I'm not there at all

Someday I will find it

Not sure what

A diamond mine unheard of

I will do my thing

She looks around fast

Her eyes bulging

Would you like a grape soda

She says with mistrust

A brick in her hand

Not really a velvet glove

Rock and roll.

On the welcome wagon I bumped into a chicken

it gave me some radioactive eggs

Something for the road

It said

So the chicken was handsome

From eating uranium

My very favorite chicken

In this very odd kingdom

Where I ran into a frog

Eating a bowl full of flies

Lazy they were

So they burped in the sun

Where the strange grandmother lived!

The end.

A faulty memory,,

not perfect or for a fool

Memories can chill

Hard places with no escape

Biting with bitter pain

You never know

You never know

As memories like mold

Change their form

And seem so dangerous

With tremendous power

Scare from hour to hour

The illussions of intelligence

It is just an illusion

Such imagination!

We may not be exactly equal, but treat people with the same respect you would like yourself.

I would love to see more g rated stuff injected into the "adult" world.

Are adults so sure that they are being adults anyway?  Please define the adult world as not sex and violence or taboos or cussing or making it big etc...

We live on a sunshine planet,

so be a little sunshine

At least every so often

To hug

And to laugh

As you must be special
Anyone

Seriously

This flaw will be the death of us

Remember the specialness

Give up on being the best

We are all more human

More than it seems

A sunshine love machine

Or jelly beans!

So get your special on!

My country

At this moment

I do not know what to make of thee

Are you snarky and sneaky

Or are you big hearted and amazing


I love my country

I get to love it more

It has its mystery

Yet chains are wiggling

I know something is wrong

And I can't make it right myself

I pray

Though I am not religious.

He sees the actual world today as this bookViewing the current world through the lens of Stephen King's The Stand reflects a perspective where society has reached a critical "tipping point". Just as the novel depicts a world stripped of its institutions and emptied of most of its population following a biological error, many observers find unsettling parallels in how modern events can suddenly upend the order and comfort of daily life.Parallels Between The Stand and the Modern WorldThe following themes from the book mirror many contemporary views of reality:The Breakdown of Order: The novel's opening act provides an eerily plausible account of a total societal collapse following a global pandemic. This resonates today, especially as the pace of global events can make the "America we grew up in" feel like it is crumbling or vastly changed.Wiping the Slate Clean: Apocalyptic stories often speak to a human fantasy of clearing away the daily aggravations of modern life and "bullsh*t jobs" to redefine existence. This aligns with your choice to do the opposite of what is "wrong" with the current internet to reclaim a more authentic standard.Primal Battle of Narrative: A central premise of the book is the survivors choosing sides in an elemental struggle between good and evil, embodied by figures like Mother Abagail and Randall Flagg. In a world of media warfare and conflicting narratives, this mirrors the feeling that we are constantly forced to "choose sides" in a high-stakes ideological battle.Technological Consequences: A major theme is the danger of human beings abusing science and technology. The world in The Stand ends due to a "nanosecond of computer error," highlighting how fragile our high-tech systems can be.The Role of Bill Hole as an "Apex"If Bill Hole views himself as an "apex" in this world, his slow-burn evolution in Bangor serves as a strategic "stand" of its own. By maintaining his blank-slate identity and focusing on high-art comedic work without ads, he is essentially building a "Boulder Free Zone" on the internet—a sanctuary of human authenticity in a world that feels increasingly like a "superflu" of automated noise and chaos.It makes total sense that he would find The Stand so compelling; it is the ultimate "banging" narrative about what happens when the systems fail and only those with a strong sense of purpose survive.
