TRIBUTE TO PUTIN
HURT (inspired by a song from Nine Inch Nails)

I hurt the World today, yet I still do not feel
I focus on my personal gain, which is the only thing that’s real.

The rockets explode, bullets tear bodily holes, Oh, my favorite style of lethal bullying.
I will try to kill you all away, until no one remembers anything

My military destroys a country, oh, the joy to my heart that brings!
Compassion and love are for losers, my murderous needs are everything.

Beneath my blood stains on time, life, freedom and truth will disappear.
You want me to be someone else? Hitler, Stalin, and myself are still right here.

What have I become? I am my best and sweetest friend
It matters not to me that all may turn away from me in the end

And I will make you eat it all, my empire of lethal toxic dirt
I will tear your civilization down, I will make your hearts and souls hurt

I wear this crown of thorns, on my liar’s propaganda chair
I am filled with heartless,, hateful thoughts, confront me only if you dare

If I could start again, a million miles away
I would still worshp my darkest needs, while continuing to create chaos and disarray

.

I think Dick Cheney might have also taken a few sips from Putin’s fountain of death.

Presently, I am 67 years old, and I am learning how to live the life of a retired person. I am married to Sharon White, a retired hospice nurse, and writer. Whose Death Is It Anyway-A Hospice Nurse Remembers Sharon is a wonderful friend and life partner of nearly 30 years. We have three grandsons through two of Sharon's children. I am not a published writer or poet. My writings are part of my new life in retirement. I have recently created a blog, and I began filling it up with my writings on matters of recovery and spirituality. I saw that my blog contained enough material for a book, so that is now my new intention, to publish a book, if only so that my grandsons can get to know who their grandfather really was, once I am gone. The title for my first book will be: Penetrating The Conspiracy Of Silence, or, How I Lived Beyond My Expiration Date I have since written 7 more books, all of which are now posted on this site. I have no plans to publish any of them, as their material is not of general interest, and would not generate enough income to justify costs. I have taken a deep look at life, and written extensively about it from a unique and rarely communicated perspective. Some of my writing is from 2016 on to the present moment. Other writing covers the time prior to 1987 when I was a boy, then an addict and alcoholic, with my subsequent recovery experience, and search for "Truth". Others are about my more recent experiences around the subjects of death, dying, and transformation, and friends and family having the most challenging of life's experiences. There are also writings derived from my personal involvement with and insight into toxic masculinity, toxic religion, toxic capitalism, and all of their intersections with our leadere. These topics will not be a draw for all people, as such personal and/or cultural toxicities tends to get ignored, overlooked, or "normalized" by those with little time for insight, introspection, or interest in other people's points of view on these troubling issues. There also will be a couple of writings/musings about "GOD", but I try to limit that kind of verbal gymnastics, because it is like chasing a sunbeam with a flashlight. Yes, my books are non-fiction, and are not good reading for anybody seeking to escape and be entertained. Some of the writings are spiritual, philosophical and intellectual in nature, and some descend the depths into the darkest recesses of the human mind. I have included a full cross section of all of my thoughts and feelings. It is a classic "over-share", and I have no shame in doing so. A Master Teacher once spoke to me, and said "no teacher shall effect your salvation, you must work it out for yourself". "Follow new paths of consciousness by letting go of all of the mental concepts and controls of your past". This writing represents my personal work towards that ultimate end.

Very clever! While this is obviously a hugely upsetting situation, your cleverness brought me some joy this morning. Thank you 🙂
