The First Time We Sailed Together

The First Time We Sailed Together

By Brian Thomas Armstrong

Down, down, fell the shiny crown, as the music played a sorrowful tune

And mournful screams floated on the icy air like heavy frozen zeppelin balloons

like tulips, one by one the bodies sprang up from the rolling watery grave

Steaming as they rose in the dark frigid waters, under the light of the April moon

That early morning brought the chill of death, giving birth to a half truth, half fable

Old loves they were lost along with the new, like bad bets on a barely used poker table

She refused passage to most of her patrons to Carpathia, saying that they were of a lower class

For they were only made of old tarnished copper and her of the finest newly polished brass

That fair maiden that left with her 3000 suitors, would selfishly spare just 700

For nothing did she leave them to hold on to in the end as she went down still looking splendid

Political Social Hysteria in 2016

2016 is the year of Social Hysteria manifesting itself in the 50/50 split division of American Society, and thus in American Politics as well. It will bring us ever closer to the brink of a dark abyss of conflicting ideologies that were once in balance by being out of balance, but who are now at equal strengths, and continue to tear at each factions power base in a natural Animalistic fight to overpower the other for the future safety of their own cause/creed. Ironically, balance cannot be restored to American society until one side gains back superiority again over the other, allowing both sides to end their aggression when the continual threat of perfect division is no longer an aggravating factor in both society and politics. The Social Hysteria that is plaguing the United States in 2016 can be explained as pure human nature itself, which is also in conflict with both its human animal mental and emotional earthly presets, and the higher spiritual conciseness of the human being.

In the Alley of Love
by Brian Thomas Armstrong
I’m in the Alley of Love
Pissing on a red brick wall
Don’t give a shit
I don’t give a fuck at all
I’m always on a side-step
That becomes a one-way street
Trying to catch-up
And I’m always swimming upstream
To a nightmare, once a dream
When it comes to my love
It always seems to be extreme
To love and have become so lost
In an emotional cardboard box
Is to never want to love again
I’m in the Alley of Love
And I’m living in my lovers sin

Love is Light when you’re in Darkness

Love is Light when you’re in Darkness
by Brian Thomas Armstrong

We can be our own worst enemy sometimes!
Love yourself and have faith in you
Take pride in everything you do
When you fail don’t feel a failure
Pick yourself back up and look to your future
Everyone sometimes loses hope
Feels like their at the end of their rope
But the difference between you and them
Can be the way you persevere and try again
Always remember that we can also be
our own best supportive friend!

How will Bernie Sanders pay for it all?

Why are Simple Truths so hard to Comprehend in America?

The Devil’s Wandering Eyeby Brian Thomas Armstrong
The Devil’s eye is wandering
looking everywhere far and wide
Many people think that he creates their sin
while their guilt they try to hide
He waits patiently as God sorts them out for him
The Devil doesn’t need their damnation to foretell
He has no need to promote their crimes
He just waits patiently to greet them all
when God casts them down to Hell
Then the people plead and beg to him
saying it’s the Devils will that they promote
While the Devil shakes his head in disagreement
as he sits there, smiles, and gloats

The Monster behind my Door
by Brian Thomas Armstrong

The Monster behind my door
Is the one that I adore

It keeps me insane
When my World’s inane

It makes me want no more
Providing all my needs behind my door

I have no love or trust
The monster turned them both to dust

It replaced them with my precious
Hatred, lust, distrust and fear

I’m in my monster’s embrace forever more

But not in a loving healing way

Just in a way that’s very popular today

Donald Trump: Shooting his own Voter Base in 2016

WOW! The GOP strategy for the 2016 Election keeps taking bizarre turns, but when Trump said he could shoot his voter base with impunity on the streets of New York City, and still win the election, it got even weirder. But, who am I to interfere with trumps wishes – As long as he sticks to his own Republican
voter base, fine with me! #socialhysteria

The S.P.D. Murder of John T. Williams

The S.P.D. Murder of John T. Williams

On a sunny, warm Seattle August day in 2010, Native American wood carver John T. Williams was murdered by the Seattle Police Department as he walked down the crowded downtown streets while on his normal daily routine of carving small totem poles with a small pen knife, then selling them to the tourists that flock by the Seattle Public Market.
Seattle Police Officer Ian Birk noticed Mr. Williams walking down the city streets and deemed him a threat, do in major part I believe - simply because he was Native American. Williams was one of many homeless Native Americans who roam downtown Seattle. These people are usually dismissed and overlooked by Seattle’s daily bustle of businessmen, the working class, and tourists.

When the officer approached Williams from behind, and then ordered him to freeze and drop his small carving knife and a stick of carving wood he was carrying, Williams was hard of hearing in one ear, and failed to hear the police officer over the traffic and pedestrians, thus did not immediately comply; officer Birk then instantly felt that this gave him the right to use lethal force against John T. Williams.
No threat was ever given by the homeless woodcarver. Officer Ian Birk coldly gunned down John T. Williams from behind, murdering him in the streets of Seattle, Wash, right in front of many horrified citizens who later professed that they felt no threat from the homeless Native American man whatsoever.

The officer was fired – that’s it, and was allowed to live his life somewhere else, work a steady job, live in a nice house, somewhere out of media sight, and out of the public’s mind; smug in the fact that he got away with “legal” murder with just a slap on the wrist. We must all remember that this type of legal homicide happens every day all over this nation of ours, by those sworn to “Serve and Protect” us. And that this violent tragedy can happen to anyone, or anybody’s family members, especially if they are citizens of color. This makes it everybody’s problem who believes in justice, personal safety from unwarranted persecution, and true American freedom in the society they live in. Let us still remember John T Williams, and never forget the fact that he was ruthlessly murdered by the S.P.D.

Putting Humanity Back Into Charity

I know everyone is busy, unfortunately the people on our city streets are busy trying to find food, shelter, and help from anyone they can; or God forbid turn desperate enough to hurt themselves or others. These concerns for our fellow man have to take precedence over getting home in time from work to go out for dinner, watch our favorite shows, or spin some wheels at the local casino. Public apathy and inaction leads to dictatorship and tyranny. The very nature of social inaction traps us all into or individual perspectives of only our daily lives while people die in the streets.
