To Utopian Society

Democracy is fair
Much better than communism
Dictatorship
Or anarchism

There is no better way
To satisfy and govern millions
Of people living inside a country
Giving power to the people

But it has one fundamental flaw
Perhaps dependent on the perspective
From which some may say it is
Not a flaw but rightful self determination

However it maybe perceived
The assumption that human beings
En masse will inherently self propagate
To utopian society

Or not even to that extent
But just make progress over time
No matter how slowly
To achieve that end

Is an assumption that
At best is only a hope
And at worst
A wishful thinking

When Providence Delivers

The problem is that
No one knows what
The other person is thinking
Even if they tell each other
All hours of the day

As one could be lying
But more often what they say
Is not quite what they are thinking
As most thoughts are
Out of touch with subconscious
Leaving the opponent guessing
Trusting
Hoping

Presuming the best if optimist
Presuming the worst if pessimist
No matter how close their relationship
Ought to have been worth something

All bets are off
All relationships worthless
Loyalty courtesy friendship out the window
And the only one standing
Stands wondering
Until that day

When providence delivers

To It Is J

There's certainly no shortage
Of wise sayings about life
From Chinese fortune cookies
To philosophers
From janitors to presidents
And random tweets by random people
All trying their best
To demonstrate understanding
Hoping and striving
To live a better life
Some sayings being true
While others way off base
But no one questions
If A then B
It is C therefore D
When E it is A
After G then B
To it is J
And all combinations of
When if after is then to should
While the only one that matters
The one that is not a saying
But truth beyond reason
Eludes many

My Way Or The Highway

It is truly fascinating
To watch someone
Whose entire interactions
In any and all types of
Situations in life
Hinged on the dogma
My way or the highway
Rarely unaware
But usually in denial

Having no regard
To anything or anyone
But himself or herself
Racking up collateral damage
Blaming everyone and everything
But himself or herself
Not being able to tolerate
Those who they cannot control
Perceiving them as threats
To their way of life

Ceaselessly searching
Until they find a way
To eliminate and destroy
Those who are more tolerant
With ingrained mantra
A lifelong devotion of
My way or the highway

As A Clam

Most people think

Turning the other cheek

As referenced in the bible

To mean be at peace

Don't fight back

And forgive 

But what it actually means

Is to give the opponent

Someone who is obviously angry

At  you for whatever reason 

An opportunity to express that anger

To let them fulfill their evil desire

And feel satisfied

Content at having expressed 

That pent up negative energy

Hence turn the other cheek

Or simply 

Just provide them a box 

Of girl scout cookies

For purchase

And they will be happy

As a clam

Having refused to purchase

One box
