woke up with this song calling to me

praying for peace is settling for war.

these complacent, westernized social media butterflies, content to click their fingers a few times in solidarity, have no conception of the enemy we face.

they don't care a lick about that oh-so-grand gesture of changing a profile photo. they want to kill you, me, and everyone else.

we are as soft as the romans before us. words and mouse clicks. what a sad state of affairs.

"of the people, for the people"? in actuality, it's "over the people, on the people".

with religion on the downswing, politics appears to be the new opiate of the masses.

i mean you take a multitude of issues and define polar opposite stances for each, and leave people a tacit choice therein, knowing full well this creates an untenable situation, an unsolvable problem.

all the while, those who buy in to this perennial kick-fight circling the pit of "progress" or what-have-you... what do they have to look forward to? stress and frustration. luckily, we have the prescription drug industry at the beck and call of society, ready to swoop in with a bevy of options, each with their own warnings and side effects, to quell the stress, to alleviate the frustration.

the social media, the echo chambers, the talking heads, the constant anti-magnetism exhibited from adjoining seats, chairs and aisles on tv. of all it, the lowest hanging fruit for a society starved for attention and validation.

and people buy into all of this bullshit willingly. it's baffling.

woke up. had coffee. dressed out to go ride bikes, the guilt of a thousand sins reeling within me. realized i was given an extra hour.

got about a fourth of a mile down the road and turned around, screaming to myself, out in the open, scars revealed to the world.

showered, went to church, wrote god a check, kept to myself.

got out, drove home, and here i sit, again dressed out to ride my bike. the following song was my soundtrack for the ride home.

my dichotomy. my struggle. my balance?



still amazed colbert put this group on national television in america.
