Subject: Alfred's Odd Ode #156

Apology to MW #156 (For July 19, 1997)

Everything has its own special significance,
Some watch the terror from comfortable chairs.
Some are consumed with their own contribution.
They are wasting in dark hallways, they are falling down dark stairs.

We're locked in our factoids of cognitive dissonance.
We cheapen our contract with those that we fear.
We keep them walled out from our pampered enclosure.
We wear from *current* wardrobes, discard what most hold dear.

I'm watching the best give in to despair.
Some declare their surrender.
There is always tomorrow, a truth it could bring.
Though wounded minus recompense, wound in bunkie fetters.

The air is filled with laughter that is whistled past the graveyard
By those insisting science understands.
Those that then restrict themselves --=20
To shallow little channels, and narrow little bands.

The Multiverse still stares unblinkingly.
It underscores your strife.
It's meaning is that quantum leap,
Beyond your mere indifference, beyond your crafted life.

One hundred thousand chances in this galaxy alone. . .
A big dark room we sit in all the time!!!
We have the smallest candle lit,
And it flickers in the breath of those t'would muff our chime!

We wrongly think we crown creation.
Our *dominion* is wrong minded.
We whistle past our graveyards too deep in debt to science;
I want to look another place where science will not find it.
=20
It's not the bee's knees, and it's not the cool beans
That it _sells_ itself to *each*, and *every* mote.
Traditionally, to solve just one problem, in itself will make three.
Adherence to it's guidelines wraps it's fingers round your throat!

It's not the science anyway, it's the men who say they use it.
The ones who plant disease to watch effect.
The ones who profit hugely at an undeserved expense.
The ones enthusiastic as they as they strike you from their list.=20

It's time to wrest control away from those who should not have it.
It's time to live our moments as we will.
It's time to give away what you thought you sold today
It's time to make new friends, it's time to risk a thrill.

So what do you want from me -- I'm a liberal. I think people are set up
to fail, lured or trapped into buffoonery they do not deserve, and sold
a phony baloney value system to cover incontinent covert conspiracy.=20
Whew!

fundamentalist's stake for being classically liberal.
