Shalowm all!
I thought I'd start a new topic where we can share things we've written regarding our experiences with Yah and his towrah that might be helpful (like letters to family and friends) or enjoyable (poetry and songs, etc.) to others in Yahowah's family.
I initially wrote this poem after the Shabat show on May 9th 2020. I'm in construction in California and it was the end of the first week we were allowed back at work. I was extremely angry and frustrated with the rampant thoughless compliance and absurd attitude of almost everyone I encountered.
If you've read it before, please note that I revised it today for meter and content so you might like a re-read. I like it much better now.
If anyone is inclined to put it to music, I'd love to hear!
Good natured constructive criticism is always welcome but I think this may be the final iteration.
The Fallout of FlightHumankind has collectively lost its goddamn mind
Carelessly arrogant, capricious and confused
We neglected to teach our children well
We ignored Yahowah’s careful instructions
And we ran from the cognitive dissonance
We indulged ourselves with their obedience
Without explanation, evidence or reason
And taught no care for logic
We destroyed their ability to think free and create
On the run from cognitive dissonance
We indulged our lack with their appeasement
Offering gifts, bribes and behaviors unearned
But gave only broken tools for living
We destroyed their ability to produce and create.
On the run from cognitive dissonance
We voted for religion and state to teach them
So easy to let others fill their minds with lies
Serfdom training, memorize and obey
We destroyed their ability to innovate and create
On the run from cognitive dissonance
We indulged our comfort and spoiled our children
We forgot love has edges like truth and choice
It knows what to hate and what to protect
We gave only broken and twisted tools for loving
On the run from cognitive dissonance
As they demand everyone love everyone else,
They scream the world upside down
Good judgment is the new evil
Ideas are the new violence
((You can only be free if you think like me))Opposite-land is the new normal
On the run from cognitive dissonance
Superficial lives load in digital clouds
Windows to exponential information
Distract and confuse those with broken tools
((Knowledge and facts are relative you see))Can't separate truth from a mire of confusion
On the run from cognitive dissonance
Dark morbid games are played with many lives
Most don't hesitate or even think twice
Eagerly fed orchestrated shiny media bytes
((Your government will save you, it wouldn’t lie))They cry from the windows "You must protect and save us all!"
On the run from cognitive dissonance
Put yourself in prison so you can keep your freedom
Not grasping the oxymoron, become a moron with no oxygen
Grasping for other's liberty and means
((Lives will be destroyed if you do not comply))Demanding irrational ignorance of evidence and reason
On the run from cognitive dissonance
Never satisfied, abandoned responsibility
Paralyzing panic at the concept of mortality
Obedience kills freedom in the minds of humankind
Submission is a virus that infects our very souls
But humankind will find destruction at the end
Of the run from cognitive dissonance
In our complicit obedience
We destroyed our ability to be free and create
In our indulgent neglect
We destroyed the hearts and minds of our children
In panicked fear for our lives
We destroyed our economic production
In apathetic lack of understanding
We have destroyed our world
In ignorance of Yahowah’s Towrah
We have lost sight of everything that matters
Humankind has collectively lost its goddamn mind
On the run from cognitive dissonance
