Skunk that skunk. Maim those weak. Fry order. Dump decency. Right worth. To elect is to be right as rain. Fair fights and demon idiots win in the world of dreams. In the world of wants. In the world of how does it feel to want. Competition flourishes and you win a Buick. Games on games. Wheels on wheels. Naked whimsies of naked riders riding naked on horseback….. nakedly. The fantasies and virtues of fantasies of virtue are long and luminous.
When there has to be a vote…make it crooked. Where there has to be an electorate fix it. Where there has to be a district game it. Where there has to be a show….dance. Politics is for suckers. Might is for pros.
Common Suckers.
Lift that bail. Tote that barge. Skunk that skunk. Hammer that nail. Moral dignity and severe belonging. Group buzz and kumbayah. From the bottom up comes the power to change, to be wise. From the bottom up comes the holy hell of the saintly pedestals upon which the bottom feeders and the mighty pigs rest and lord. From the bottom up.
Grand stability and surely supporters. Roving marauding monsters cover great wide swaths of devouring nightmares devouring all before them as inebriated locusts in eternal heat swallow any governance and replace work with battle. From the bottom up dreams come true. From the bottom up America works. So it goes.
From the bottom up comes the power,the virtue, the massive movements hard knocks, hard pain, sharp elbows, hurting places. From the bottom up comes ribald thuggery and haunting bleeding. Grab assed grab ass…. from the bottom up.
The base up. The foundation up. Many times, many ways the power in government and life comes from the base up, the foundation up.
Building blocks supreme support edifices and efforts of grand public pooh baas, void doers, do gooders and all serious scholars. Mountains of sadistic gain are built lovingly and to the credit of justice from the bottom up. When it does its good work and is in good grace.
From the bottom up. Many times, many ways the shining power in government and life comes from the bottom up. Many times many ways.
America, America……home home on the range
East side west side…… Johnny comes marching home
Oh say can we see…..the grand old flag
Look away, look away …the midnight ride of Paul Revere
Lizzy Bordon took an ax
This land is your land… Georgia on my mind
The summer soldier and the winter patriot
The issues are complex
The issue dealers are power junkies
The system stays gamed
Day after day
What’s a citizen to do
Cry in his ineffective beer
Vote the system
Play holy and be the gamed happy gamer forever and a day
Cry and whine
Bitch and moan
Sweetly make no wily intrepid political tripes pay any price what so ever for blowing the gig America

Dominance Games: The long knives

The philosopher king or the wise council of elders may be, in their pure forms, the most admirable and efficient forms of governance. They may bring the best of virtue, vision, majesty, bearing and trust. These forms may be the abject model of all seekers of wisdom and truth, all seekers of greater, better existence for greater, better political entities, systems, states, facts. Wisdom and virtue flow undiluted, unfragmented from implementer. Implementation is a dream..
Virtues in these epochs of rule are great but as it is with all such things the templates always seem to have equal and opposite flip sides. The greater good is matched by the greater evil and in real terms governance is best served when as a staunch representative of protection from harm. The positive is as a bonus…an unexpected bonus of maturity and purpose, reflection and wisdom…that which when it comes… survives…leaves hope.
This is as close to safety we can come to in a world dependent upon the rational and irrational hates and passions of the bubbling classes. Passion has its virtues…and its price.
In these aspects and respects…we crave our loved version of mass influence…our republic…our democracy. All done well, good may prosper, right may flourish, balance may be achieved. All done not so well…most of the mob survives the long knives, the hounds, the wolves, the cuts and the destruction.
Politics is kick ass and dangerous, armed and dangerous, dangerous and dangerous. Grateful we are for what we see as the limits to the mass dangers we face, in the forms of the base outcomes we can endure. We bless the phlegmatic, the powerless, the resigned and the the facts of livable survival. Seeking the better and the good is always the fools errand of the naive known to the knowing and the wise.
