Welcome Back Facker
it's about time

Couple 'a years
 no reason or rhyme

Who gives a hoot 
​"Not me" says this boy

But sittin' down here
does provide joy

I'm hummin' a song
from way back when

Gene Autry once sang it
"Back in the Saddle Again"

The Only Ones

All we have​ is all around
.. for free

Yet we destroy it
​.. in greed

Only we humanoids
.. you see

Cause our perfect home
.. to bleed

We of higher intellect
.. so it's said

Smart incompatible species
​.. leaving all around us dead

Nothing is more important than reversing/repairing the damage we humans have inflicted upon our beautiful home .. Nothing.

Through all the arguments, all the justifications, all the excuses,  the fact remains that we humans are the only species which has caused harm to this magical spinning orb we inhabit.  We are the imbalanced/unbalanced destroyers of the very nature which nourishes us. 

Our greatest accomplishment as a species will/would be to restore our Mother to Her original grandeur.  THAT action would/will show the true greatness of humanity. 
Time will Tell
There are those who are proactive in an honorable endeavor to "make right" what we have so selfishly and arrogantly caused.  I was reminded of this last week when the recycling truck came 'round to pick up those items we submit for renewed life in a better form.  Recycling is a wonderful beginning to the rejuvenation of  nature's glory.  In thinking about recycling, my mind wandered to the fabulous Earthships created by Michael J. Reynolds.  Completely self sustaining homes created from used tires, bottles, and other items we have foolishly discarded for years and years.  What a concept from this true visionary.  I won't waste your time here when you can go to his site at  https://www.earthshipglobal.com/ and revel in the reality of those who care about restoring sanity.

This is but one example of what can be done with discarded items,  as well as a new awakening amongst our planetary tribe regarding the importance of having a healthy planet instead of having items we have come to consider luxurious as our technological skills have intermingled with the false importance of monetary gain.   If we have no nature, we have no happiness .. this is the truth.

I am guilty.  I am no different than anyone else.  I have been, and continue to be, wasteful .. fundamentally one with my possessions .. wanting to walk in the forest and enjoy its beauty and solitude before returning to my car and speeding towards the house in a haze of burned oil, gasoline, and the emissions produced.  I readily buy food items in plastic containers .. as the oceans and those life forms which inhabit them are buried by plastic waste.

It is exciting that tires can become homes, plastic can become thousands of useful items, and nearly everything which is unsustainable is finding new life through the efforts of recycling and through the new eyes of an awakening group of concerned world citizens.
So ...
knowing I am a seriously flawed humanoid, who has certainly done his share to disrespect our beautiful blue orb.  I vow to be more and more conscious of earth healing actions as I plod forward.
And ..
in absolute belief that recycling is amongst the most positive and life changing actions one can take, restoring the old into magnificent new forms, usages, and philosophies  .. next Monday when the recycling truck rolls 'round .. they will find this man sitting in that little blue bucket ..
hoping for
New Life


Imagine that ... Recycled !!

A Bout

​​"What to write about?"
haunting question which paralyzes with multitudinous thoughts
flying throughout my miniscule pockets of grey matter
"What to write about?"

As I wait for that one thrilling subject
an explosion of brilliance I can transpose to the keyboard
that earth shattering completely unique individually construed morsel
perfect for reader consumption ..
differing revelations continue their onslaught 
rendering me helpless
buried beneath mental attacks of too much information
crushed by too many visions

Then it happens
this attack of thought itself provides 
a "bout" of cerebral activity
 which I now relate to you on this fine day

I just wrote about a "bout" 

Yeah, I'm smilin'

​Alone

thriving on wasteland
purposefully impervious to environmental malaise

​exuding beauty
giving in defiance

example extraordinaire
for depraved humanity

Crying Potato

​
Born in dirt
in the darkness
total silence 

Happily freed
welcome the light
thrilled by bird songs

Tumbled through cool water
placed alongside family
​feeling their touch against his skin

Then violently shredded 
cast into the pan of hell
mercilessly eaten

Much like the fate of his human cousins
life is cruel either way
quickly disposed of or withered and dried with age

Don't cry Potato
we all shrivel or swim in the same wretched grease 
 .... eventually

Please forgive me
even with this knowledge
I continue to love eating hash browns

Big Car Splat

​​​I'm gonna build a big car
really big
so big I can stand on top of the steering wheel and look two inches tall


I'm gonna park my big car on the edge of a big desert
a really big desert 
so big I can have a big person drive my big car really fast for miles and miles


I'm gonna stand in the big desert and wait for my big car to come flying towards me
flying like a big jet plane
big car flying so fast across the big desert that it looks like a big sand storm approaching


I'm gonna take a big jump into the air
a really big jump
a big jump so high I will hit the windshield of my big car and splat like a big bug


I'm gonna go to a big place
that really big place
big splat with no pain facilitates transformation to the Big Place


So fuck you despicable virus
fuck you really big
my big car splat robbed you of this little one


Yeah, I'm smilin'  :-)
