The problem of the disenfranchised
They feel entitled and hold that over our head
No longer respecting the services given
Just think what goes unsaid

The problem of the Disenfranchised
Thought
Elst We Stay in the Cirque
Visualize the triumph
Discontinue behaviors that do not work
Identify what fails us
Elst we stay in the cirque
Repetitive bad habits
No matter how we justify
Locks up our will
Because we tell ourselves these lies
Precisely what master gives us liberation
Is the same master that enslaves our mind
To see this duality
A gift of sight to the blind

The Ameliorist
So you haven’t had it so easy
For yourself you had to fend
How do I get over my feelings of abandonment?
As a child I had to pretend
Sometimes it takes a lifetime
For you to work things out
If you never take any action
HD Thoreau’s quiet desperation
May surely come about
The ameliorist must make decisions
An ever changing environment we face
How do we improve our situation?
How do we stop running in place?
The path to reach any piece of mind
The thinkers must make amends with the past
Those who feel deeply must forgive any trauma
And mediate the iconoclast

Be You of Conscious Mind
The moment before
You drift off to sleep
A memory comes to you
One that is buried deep
Memories often populate
And integrate with your dreams
Leaving with you a communiqué
To unravel the schemes
The mind has a way
To process the unrest
Perpetuating those feelings
You may have suppressed
A subconscious attempt
To resolve any dissonance
A conscious mindfulness
The conscription of imminence
Be you of conscious mind
Be you one to search your soul
I present to you
Our cognitive tool for quality control

Sedition from Bondage
The key of captivity
Lies in the ability of the mind
Break the cycle of learned helplessness
Your freedom you will find
The fundamentals of illusion
Breed attachment and pain
When trapped in the problem
The solution we search for is in vain
Become the escape artist
Study the trap you are in
Visualize the possibilities
Become the Houdini and begin
The levels and degrees of servitude
We levy or subjugate
We mold our reality
Much of what we create
What is the sound of one hand clapping?
Teacher enticing student to see
Constructs in our minds
Can also be just folly
The statement below is false
The statement above is true
A liars paradox
Another Waterloo
The duck or the rabbit?
Wittgenstein would ask
Which will give way?
Which one will last?
The Zen koan, the Greek paradox, and Wittgenstein
All demonstrate a vantage point to see
Problems of human reasoning
All contingent on how we will be

Confabulation
I wanted to think clearly
A time I was less confused
Some moments I see vividly
Whereas others I have excused
The trouble with my memory
I’m not sure if I have the right take
What were the predisposed factors?
What are the presumptions we make?
Fill in parts of what we know now
File away under a current change of view
How will I ever really know?
There is no one else to interview
Is it really worth the effort?
Will my reality be forever changed?
Will I become more self-aware?
Or will I always be estranged?
I try not to confabulate
I try to sift out erroneous thought
This is important for me
I try hard not to be lost

Your Bona Fides should Represent
We may find out as children
When parents can lead us astray
They tell us how the world works
Until we find out the error of their ways
I am told many things about the world
With little evidence, faulty reasoning and bias not far behind
Despite ignorance and poor role modeling
We must still search for a truth that we can find
We are an agency in the population
There are many challenges we meet with resistance
Our own accounting
Our own insistence
If you speak out and criticize
Your bona fides should represent
Something to backup your claims
Something to ground your intent
Too many times we are not cogent
Not in thought, not in mind
Often we may say things
But oh so maligned

My Soul is not for Sale
My faith has been tested
My eyes have received confirmation
My soul is not for sale
My truth is my salvation
I take on my obstacles
I take them as they come
I learn from my mistakes
I modify my thinking to correctly plumb
Why do I fail?
Why is the question to ask
Why do I repeat?
Why is put to task
Clarify what is rubbish
Clarify the path I am on
Clarify what is good
Clarify what is wrong
Verify what is working
Simplify erroneous measures
Verify what is most important
Rectify misleading pleasures

WikiPsalm #Thirteen
There are times when we wake
From a trance like sleep
Giving in to an inner voice
Making promises we can’t keep
It is precisely in this time
We should vindicate our aspiration
Acknowledging a conflict building
Within this mindful vexation
Become clear about what is important
Clarify this in your deeds
Do not let unworthy influence
Give council that often misleads

Divide and Conquer
Johnny can’t read
Sister Eve is autistic
Growing up with entitlements
Have we now become masochistic?
Put a stop to these despots
Before we fall too far under control
Remember Orwell’s boot in the face
Was also on his patrol
Weaponized society
With anger and fear
Inequality and bigotry as the narrative
Logic soon disappears
Listen to the liars
Over and over again
Repeating begats believing
Adults like children
Continue to pretend
The trouble with a population
That will be torn up from within
If you continue to fight amongst each other
How soon the end will begin
Beat up ourselves
Not knowing the Masters pulling the strings
So keep your eyes on the ball
Do not fight over nonsensical things
Ask a Buddhist
How to be clear
They will give you an eight fold path
One that is real- one that is sincere
Ask a Scientologist
How to be clear
They will give you a lifelong membership
With the price tag only a cult member will endear
The feeble-minded members
The majority of the masses
The weakest link of the chain
In the chain of all the classes
Daddy please tell me
Did you fight for liberty?
No little girl
I fought for climate change and the Paris agreement
I spent all my time in this tirelessly
Nonsense is nonsense
To not see is foolish, I’d hope you’d agree
The corruption of public office
Our forefathers did foresee
