Rambling thought from my old journal.Trying to awaken my muse once more in 2009.

 

©2009 M. Bennett Hooper

 

Derrick Jensen says in “The Culture of Make Believe< that when all around us are lying and confusing us being honest is the greatest kindness.”
Why are so many Black folks afraid to be kind again?
Back in the day we were kind to our children honesty was the only policy.
If you misbehaved you would get your ass whipped.
Whipping kids ass now has become child abuse and Black people who should know better stopped whipping their kids.

Girls were told to keep their dresses down and their legs crossed at the ankles.
Girls now let it all hang out with painted on clothes which reveal every crack and crevice and then act insulted by men who assume they are whores because they are wearing the whore uniform.
Too many adult women when faced with hard decisions proclaim their adulthood by shouting I’m grown without really taking the time to grow continuously as if personal growth was a limited goal.

Daily taking the easy way out women sell themselves cheaply for rent and car repairs not realizing that truly great whores can satisfy their most basic needs, Billy Clinton.
So many are enamored of pimps like GW Shrub Jr. that they accept the daily ass whippings via rising gas prices, interest rates, prolonged illegitimate wars, and burgeoning national debt that even governmental money printing can’t hide.

Once subtle hatreds rise to the forefront as the poor prepare to battle the weak and the hungry deny the starving as the fat cat sings.
Cheer up tomorrow’s another day and Armageddon is just a fairy tale.
BOOM! BOOM!
Wars are merely smokescreens to keep the sleeping unaware of what is really going on.
BOOM! BOOM!
Wake up while there is still time or are you really regrettably the new emerging dinosaurs.

Mikii this is well written and needed to be said a long time ago. Now that the world has gone to hell in a handbasket as my dear father would say, everyone is upset. Where was the rage when it all started, when it could have been fixed easily? I fear we have become a nation of blind fools by choice.

Mikii, welcome back!!!
Myth, so many of them we have been serving in the past, so many are being dished today, and you won't believe which ones they will be served in the future.
Why? Because we are a humanity that wants myths, craves for myths, a humanity that put people in pedestals, and then, eats them.
