. . . to process what just happened
watching the early returns on PBS one of the commentators said “America is on trial and we’re about to find out who we are.” the verdict is in / this is who we are
they kept saying ‘this election is about the economy’ but that never felt right to me / what it's really about is the environment that we're so intent on destroying / what it’s really about is war and nuclear weapons and the military industrial complex - that dark secret inside the american psyche / it's about being human not a cyborg / it’s about being real not worshipping the god of money like a fool / it’s about billionaires controlling the media and financing elections / it’s about an american public totally brainwashed by the media till they don’t know right from wrong / that's what it's about and the verdict is in
the verdict is in and this is who we are but it’s not who i am / i’m going to continue enjoying my life one sweet breath at a time / i’m not a cyborg and i don’t worship money / i love my fellow creatures and i love my fellow humans and i love this biosphere that we all live in together
i love being alive and although my heart is broken i’m going to continue being alive - that’s the most important thing / and that’s what i mean by brainwashing - we think everything else is important and being alive is a subtext / something we only think about when someone dies / being alive is the most important thing happening and being human is the adventure we’re all on
good luck / love you
