Just Dirt

Just: 1) Only, merely or simply “It’s just a joke” 2) behaving according to what is morally right and fair “A just cause”

Simple dirt, this living soil, fed by our ashes and the slowly decaying plants that we had nurtured

Just dirt…that is, righteous dirt. The ancient healing earth, our silent and loamy benefactor

The rich-smelling, good-tasting, long-lasting, crop-nurturing humus that provides for us all

Those happy dirty children, those wagging dogs rolling in good dirt, this tired farmer’s dirty hands

Dirt shoved aside, carried off, compressed into lifeless, random heaps, dumped and forgotten

Carelessly robbed of its roots and enslaved by the pitiless alien lords of industrial agriculture

Carried off with all the chemicals they so often overuse to kill profit-cutting weeds and pests

They forced up some crops, got their bonuses and left us to just watch the poisoned soil blow away

Just dirt beneath our bare brown feet, this so-simple dirt that we simply cannot live without

The ground a living layer filled with bacteria and microbes – they who share almost all of our DNA

Honest dirt, from which we were created and will return, according to so many of our religious myths

Dirt Simple some say, but we know it’s much more, that close-knit, moist and dark bio-community

Crusted with salt left by their dried up fossil water, magnifying and wafting toxins into the air

Preserved with all the care of cost accounting, then sold off for yet one more lame, cloned stripmall

Casually raped with grunting, smoky-toothed bulldozers, auctioned off to the highest bidder

Torn up, trampled down, littered upon - then ignored, scorned and casually pissed on…in passing

This land that my family farmed with love for generations, the good earth that we so treasured

Magically bringing forth the food that supported us and our livestock, and even the wild birds

We paced it and crumbled it between our fingers, for its health defined our very sense of well-being

Planted the trees that blocked the wind to help to hold the soil - and we pulled the weeds by hand

All forms of toxics are spilled on, drained into and buried under it:And we are ashamed of being dirty

Naked too long, growing cracked and hard, unable to sponge up the gentle rains anymore

You - go pour this stuff out over there in the dirt, and hurry up, we got more real work to do

Scoop it out by the ton, crush it, wet it down, chemically extract and leave it laying in leaching piles

Walking barefoot amid the seedlings in a warm summer rain, babies with us as we tend our fields

Turn it over gently to smell the richness of the spring, rejoice over the good rain, along with the soil

Bury grandfather with our ancestors in this land he loved, ache in spirit along with the drought

Built our home with the mud and straw from this place, drew sweet, clean water from beneath

Crowned with rusting metal, faded plastic, and broken glass, now it oozes awful liquids

Absolutely ignored until it accidentally fouls us while on our busy, self-important errands

Feces mixing in with the mud, poisoned, but still able to harbor disease-inducing micro-organisms

Upon catching our drifting mercury and lead, hydrocarbons and PCBs, its toxic dust fills our lungs

Just dirt, a rich home, the very source of all our sustenance, that ultrathin skin of the earth

Ours to use up and despoil, waste and defile, gouge and quarry, in absolutely any way we see fit

Miraculous, fragile blessing built over thousands of years, we must preserve it for our children

Let it dry up, die and blow away, WhatEver, but hey, we intend to remain, purposefully unaware

No Worries, It’s Just Human Nature

War is part of our genetic makeup & Traditional Family Values - And also a vital economic stimulus!

Beating each other senseless is just human nature, especially when we are drinking heavily together

Homo Economicus does not naturally do things like recycle or save energy if he’s not paid to do it

We’re just following our pioneer instincts as we rip up new bandit ATV trails in our national forests

Man has flourished on red meat since Creation, during the dinosaur days, and I’m not changing now!

We hate gays, black, arabs & illegales because its just our nature to slaughter those different from us

Preying upon the sick, poor, widowed & elderly has been a human tradition ever since time immoral

Why, slavery goes back to our caveman days when captured enemies were raped & put to hard labor

It’s always been true that no one pays when everyone is at fault:Like for our air, water, forests & soil

We toss out our trash just like our ancestors did - to keep our loads light when we’re out on the hunt

People have always needed flashy creation myths, like all our laughably old-fashioned One True Gods

We’re obviously programmed to yearn for egotistical and paternally-sociopathic despots to enslave us

God meant for women to remain covered, uneducated & abused: And to raise up sons exactly like us

It’s simply supply & demand to pay higher prices until the next popular resource is used up or extinct

Humans instinctively prefer fibreless, nutrition-free, salt, sugar, fat & chemical-laced factory food

Real men will always thrive in the smoke & noise given off by unmuffled, petroleum-powered engines

Peasants have eternally craved rule by their moral betters - Who treat them as disposable moochers

To ensure our progress, glib sales types must always be highly rewarded for their all-consuming greed

Societies possess an innate ability to stall on major issues, looking to muddle thru or find a quick fix

We all know our growth depends on selling the Very-latest, Ever-more and yet another Even-bigger

It’s only natural to ignore our starving brothers every day in pursuit of our own individual happiness

Of course we want more money every year for exactly the same job, while we get fatter & stupider

It’s obvious that our current house of credit cards lifestyle dates far, far back into prehistory

It’s just human nature to scorn reason and leap with a blind faith into the arms of a predatory clergy

We all find it easier to just say NO! than to pass expensive, and likely unnecessary, over-regelations

It’s hereditary to scoff at research that Faux News mouthpieces dismiss as junk science or fuzzy math

No one ever wants to ponder the emptiness of the cosmic void which looms at the end of every life

Honestly, we all do better by focusing on sports, drinking, gossip and the safe details of family life

All government becomes more inefficient, wasteful & costly the more prosperous a nation becomes

It’s simply our innate survival of the fittest mentality that drives us to slash wasteful social programs

& there’s no justifying my having to pay for repairing roads, bridges, dams or electric & water grids

We’ve always defended our omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent gods against any imagined slights

Humans have forever needed to save energy for hunting & fighting - Hence my place on this couch

Driving an 8 passenger SUV alone to work every day satisfies a very real, very ancient need within us

Evolution is only a theory, but Social Darwinism is the survival of the fittest reality men must live by

Human nature is unchanging so it’s best to grab as much as we possibly can: Right here & Right now!

Bristling With Dumbed-Down Canned Opinions

“America’s Strength: The Morality of Its People” - latterdayconservative.com

It’s not like they’re ineducable - These good working folks all test out around average as school kids

But, whiners say, the school systems failed to get them to absorb enough education to think critically

That is, teachers could not spin the curriculum entertainingly enough to hold their fickle attention

In any case, now they bristle with tough canned attitudes & fierce, but quite dumbed-down, opinions

Yes, they can loudly mouth the latest in god-fearing, faux-patriotic fake news in supreme confidence

They also know this fact: If it’s hard to read, it’s always boring, stupid, irrelevant and unnecessary

They can see they can get any info they might really need, in a hurry, right off their smartphones

But they can parrot tons of slick ads, worthless sports stats, cool movie lines & obscene hiphop lyrics

Many of them leave it to Jesus to sugarcoat all of those overwhelmingly-confusing metaphysical fears

Employers don’t need geniuses but they find these folks lacking, vis-à-vis simple Chinese peasants

Proudly-loud Harleys & giant smoking pickups noisily herald their quests for fast food & Asian plastics

They do have a deeply personal grasp of terms like diabetes, hypertension, obesity & arteriosclerosis

They’re OK with soil destruction, H₂0, pesticide & fertilizer overuse - So long as white bread is cheap

Addicted by conglomerates to factory food, they just can’t understand why they keep gaining weight

Coal-friendly, Clean or not, they bravely battle that climate scam armed only with old thermostats

Way too often they are far too loudly-eager to bomb places they often can’t even locate on a map

Their Creationist bedtime story is so remarkably lame that the best satire cannot make it any funnier

Their beliefs are buttressed by an unread Constitution & Bible plus media Traditional Family Values

Scoffingly dismissing socialist satistics, they know ours is thE finest healthcare system on thE planet

Ruggedly independent, they only grudgingly become welfare & disability moochers – by the millions

They angrily support phony political scandals ginned up by blustering rightwing media mouthpieces

Amazingly, corporate sports really is a highest priority in their short, but wasted, lemming-like lives

To them, working like servants for the rich, who program their ideology, is what freedom is all about

Their fix for the madness of all the mass shootings is to heavily arm Dad, Mom and the kids, 24x7x365

Their hatred of them dam regelaters stems directly from their freerange apartment cowboy heritage

They know recycling is st00pid & only for doped up socialists, unless & until they get paid for doing it

They realize that exercise is a waste of time, pushed upon them by smothering government nannies

To them, that overreaching EPA or Employment Prevention Agency should be abolished immediately

They anchor their ignorance to an unquestionable, childlike faith backed by loud & nasty attitudes

They always elect rich, old white conservative men who label them moochers and offshore their jobs

They harbor a gut-level hatred for those who would reuse, recycle, refurbish or, god forbid, reduce

Their outdoor recreation must always entail burning gas NASCAR-style on a jetski, snowmobile or ATV

They don’t need that damn Obamacare since they’re already used to blowing off their unfair ER bills

You can observe them in any of those 8 snack aisles stuffing their carts with chips, cookies & candies

Don’t quite yet get that living on 88% interest payday loans really isn’t a long-term financial strategy

Yes, proudly-ignorant & bristling with attitude they’ve cast away fool reason for unquestionable faith

Just Outside Our Pre-Programmed Maya

Maya – fr. Sanskrit, The illusory reality of the material world

Dirty rain can’t penetrate the pavement, so it quickly washes our wastes straight down to the rivers

Our billion tiny non-point sources are an uncontrolled runoff into their unsafe drinking water intakes

The magnitude of the devastation would simply overwhelm our minds, so we just smile and carry on

We are as hungry dreaming automatons meeting our simple swarm needs in strictly programmed ways

The vast fecal output of the mega-chicken farms leaches off & turns the bays & water supplies green

Every single home drips a thousand different chemicals, each and every time it rains

The innocent pigs imprisoned by the thousands stamp their contaminated waste into the groundwater

Model families spray poison on their flowers and over-apply everything to their artificial bluegrass

Abandoned sites still filter PCBs into streams and bays as well as into the flesh of nearby inhabitants

But, we are assured, this poison uptake issue cannot cross the species line separating us from animals

A dead space the size of Massachusetts is excreted from the Mississippi’s anus we call New Orleans

We tack up flimsy cellophane protective barriers around the new chancres of our ongoing progress

We roar across the shrunken Western reservoirs drunkenly shouting above our 500 horsepower din

Meanwhile, hot desert winds harshly evaporate the precious water at an astoundingly rapid pace

And yet, every single drop is spoken for, spoken for several times, in over-allocated state compacts

So, we clean out their upstream poopie but still drink of their vast array of chemicals and hormones

Turns out it’s far more cost effective to just warn of poisoned waters than to actually clean them up

Your kids should never swim with the remaining fish which we have tainted too badly for us to eat

But it’s OK, my precious children, you can always drink bottled New Jersey water & toss the plastic

And you won’t have to fret, cause you never saw, or even knew about, anything that was any better

Heavy factory fleet nets smash coral reefs that are already bleached out and dying from the warming

That’s after they came by with arsenic and dynamite to stun and paralyze their prey

A dead bycatch of seabirds, dolphins, albatross, marlin, sharks and rays bobs lazily in their wake

But, they’ve externalized the costs of ocean strip-mining so you can simply enjoy our weekly special

We institutionalize warfare, glorify suffering and commit ever-spiraling sums to our so-called dEfense

Only the truly wacked-out dare suggest that our divine Jihads simply quicken our own destruction

Countries encourage defensive population growth only to then fight resource wars to feed them

Conflict is simply inevitable so we know research to eradicate it would just be more socialist waste

We snicker at their fairytale squishy nonsense regarding climate change as well as global warming

Libtards dont dare ever mention how much money and how many jobs it would cost to even try to fix

And proudly every family joins the battle by adjusting home thermostats to their personal comfort

But one-worlders keep twisting out of context, junk science in their vast, conspiratorial takeover plot

And every single morning brings another half a million mouths to try and feed sustainably...

But only fascists whisper against the will of all our gods regarding our duty to be fruitful & multiply

So each day we add to our responsibility to squeeze out just a little more from just a little bit less

And no government dares think beyond simple food, shelter & jobs…and new breaks for the very rich
