"Their narrow heads can think no new thoughts so / Unable to expand they simply blow"
Popcorn
Mental flatulence and constipation Confusion mingled with befuddlement A general sense of consternation Of wondering where the merriment went
All of these things and worse can happen to Anyone anywhere woman or man All ages all races even to you Should you be seduced into muddlement And your soul reduced to Republican Enslavement ground to pavement left behind To muddle in the puddle of the mind Which they think they have destroyed but cannot Which they think they have silenced but are wrong
They never have been very smart that way They think they can crush us but they forgot God can hear even when liberals pray Nothing can stop us none can hold us down Their narrow heads spin to find us too strong For them to overcome by their attack Hold tight and fight for dignity today And we can smile to see narrow heads frown When they think we are cornered we fight back
I resist for I have nothing to lose The narrow heads underestimate me But I will stand up to them as I choose They huff and they puff and they debate me What a sideshow what a cheap thrill it gives They fume and hate and foam and berate me As they reveal where intolerance lives Their narrow heads can think no new thoughts so Unable to expand they simply blow
As usual, you express it the way it ought to be, Stevie. I also have a poem entitled, "Popcorn," oddly enough. Check it out if you feel like it. Love and peace to you,
Great lines and great images of comparison compressed into a poem worthy of being a political by line in the NEw York Times or better. Well stated my friend.
You have popped the Golden Kernel of truth! Two varieties of corn, flint and dent, both varieties of Indian corn, hard and dented analogous to popcorn conservatives. Those who maintain existing policies and who are opposed to change are simply 'I can't believe it's not butter' airheads. Thank you for allowing me this space for my corny moment! And thank you for the term 'popcorn conservatives.' You should submit it to the American Heritage Dictionary Roget's II: The New Thesarus.
This combined narrative dialogue and play is about the uncreated, unborn and undying transcendent Self of God-consciousness and Buddha-nature. It describes an odyssey of transcendent Consciousness Awakening and Remembrance.
