Madness in the Background

 

Madness in the Background
by Brian Thomas Armstrong

Madness in the background
That’s all I ever hear
Whether near or one block down
A deafening roaring sound
The den of chaos
Ten times as strong
Overpowering right from wrong
A madness in the background
It drives me madly insane
That is why they caught and brought me here
And locked me deep away

 

Persevere by Brian Thomas Armstrong

 

Persevere
by Brian Thomas Armstrong

My mind was full as I sat in the empty silent field outside of my deserted village
Peace was not in my mind, though my tomahawk pipe was in my hand

Sadness
Revenge
Loneliness

They were my only friends

A Buffalo Spirit appeared alongside me
It told me

Do not let them break your Spirit

Persevere

Even though they hunt you and leave your bodies rotting on the ground
They still cannot exterminate you
For you are also a Spirit of Pride and Perseverance
That not even the evil ones or the years can remove from this land

The Spirit disappeared from my eyes
But it filled the emptiness of my heart with purpose

I will survive my enemy’s madness, until the day that they become sane

 

The Human Animal

 

The Human Animal is a cruel and wicked thing, ruled by its own savage human nature
The Human Being is an enlightened entity, which tempers strength, with love and mercy;
ruled by divine spirit. BTA

 

Modern America: Crime becomes a flourishing $70 billion Dollar Prison Industry

This is what it comes to, when your country cares more about the money, than humanity - Why rehabilitate when you can facilitate for cash!

Crime becomes a $70 billion industry, and prisons are now run by publicly traded corporations.

Cash strapped States sacrifice the welfare of their citizens incarcerated family members they are in legal charge of, by farming out their social responsibilities to the lowest bidder.

This practice allows private prison contractors to uphold occupancy guarantees between 80 and 90 percent full, encouraging the private prisons to actively promote a high convict recidivism rate, and disregard good behavior for early release.

Once more, America’s dark Capitalistic nature creates an “UN-Modern American Ideal of Decency, Morality, and Ethics” That is allowed to flourish under the noses of apathetic citizens, dooming us all to future corrupt and self-destructive American government approved self-tyranny.

Man's Best Friend

Man’s Best Friend
by Brian Thomas Armstrong

A best friend is there when no one else decides to care

They are happy to see you, when no one else is there.

They eat what you eat in excitement

And sleep where you sleep

Comforting and protecting you on cold and lonely nights

A best friend also always listens to you every day

When work was hard, and relief is nowhere in sight

No matter who is wrong or who’s involved

Man’s best friend is there to make you feel all right

The best way to Fight Animal Cruelty is by being Involved! - https://www.aspca.org/get-involved

1960's style bigotry in 2015 Indiana

1960's style bigotry in 2015 Indiana

It's back to 1960's style open bigotry in Indiana! Civil Rights means Human Rights and Indiana is blatantly getting away with setting the country back half a century of progress on Civil Rights, for all Americans. Is this the kind of America Republicans want in 2016? A backwards America on Civil Rights! I remember a time in the 1970’s, when businesses in Seattle could post signs saying "No Long Hairs Allowed.” Since I was a hippy kid then, I couldn't eat at certain restaurants, shop at certain stores, and I was “legally” denied employment at many places in Seattle solely because of my hair style. Think about the Air Time and Outrage that this kind of story would get now.

The people posting those signs would seem incredibly ignorant and backward today wouldn't they. It is time to start being outraged about people today who feel they have a “God Given” right to take away other people’s Civil Rights to live normally and unhindered in this nation, just like every other tax paying citizen who isn't gay. The LGBT community should be allowed the same protections under the law as any other socially established group of Americans.

First they take away your rights, then they take away your land, then they take your life or make you live in a concentration camp. Yes this was once the way it was, not just in Nazi Germany, but here in the United States of America as well. Are we doomed to allow the hateful, bigoted, self-righteous and exclusionary citizens of our country to digress our great nation back into these shameful eras of socially acceptable acts of bigotry and hate? We all know the answer to this question is – Hell No! Tell Indiana its form of facilitating and promoting fascist hatred movements will absolutely not be tolerated in 21^st Century America!

The American Political “Humanitarian” Spin-Job

 

The American Political “Humanitarian” Spin-Job
by BTA

The American spin-job of starting wars and destabilizing governments, due to our self-serving politicians, and their never-ending self-righteous strategic political accusations of “crimes against humanity” IE: Blaming the Castro’s, Putin’s, Ayatollah’s,  and Assad’s of this World, for the assorted societal and governmentally-inflicted ills of this Earth, must finally come to an enlightened and timely end. This age-old, D.C., tactical multi-party political move of constantly manipulating the American Public’s Social Hysteria levels, in order to nationally justify overseas robbery and homicide, must be revealed for what it truly is, - Shameful, Selfish, Irresponsible, Sinful, and Dishonorable. Our national history and our modern behavior, shows the World that once again our government intentionally targets and hurts common everyday people and their families, Worldwide and at home, who are innocent pawns in their conveniently timed accusatory parleys of old fashioned American scare-tactic politics, in order to “secretly” serve and protect their own interests, while smugly and pompously pretending to care for the welfare of the entire World’s population.

Mathew 7:5 – “Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.”

The Timber in our own Eyes

Congress passed the Indian Removal Act in 1830, during Andrew Jackson’s presidency, and also because of Jackson’s personal involvement in the forceful extermination and removal of many Eastern tribes. But Jackson was merely formally “legalizing” a pre-planned and carefully laid out scheme, which was implemented by one of the United States’ founding fathers, Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson’s plan outlined his intended atrocities to be carried out on America’s original inhabitants, in a series of private letters that began in 1803, although Jefferson did not implement the plan during his own presidency, he was just as culpable in implementing the crimes of this sanctioned Act of Congress, that were cruelly and mercilessly perpetrated against the Native American people, as the then, President Andrew Jackson was.

"Being deeply impressed with the opinion that the removal of the Indian tribes from the lands which they now occupy within the limits of the several states and Territories . . . is of very high importance to our Union”- an 1825 presidential message to Congress.

Chick-A-fill of Self-Righteous Soul-Cancer Causing Hatred

Jesus only saves bigoted hillbilly rednecks because he is obligated to, not because he wants to. So get over yourselves you self-serving "uptight white overly- righteous Christian business owners" - Obviously you read the Good Book upside down and drunk. PS: Chick-a-fill full of hate is bad for you regardless of who you are!

When Alice Fell

When Alice Fell

by Brian Thomas Armstrong

When Alice fell into the hole

She tumbled down below

She found herself, within herself

And gave herself a show

When the show was over

She awoke, and slowly headed home

With a whole new set of friends

Inside her young head

She will never again

Ever have to be alone

As above, so below

As above so below, If below is F'ed up by negativity - it transfers negative energy to the spiritual World - which in turn manifests itself into more negative things materializing on the "solid" World we are trapped in - Truly creating our own Heaven or Hell on Earth!

Put your Eye Helmets on!

Put your Eye Helmets on!
by Brian Thomas Armstrong

See what’s in front of you

The past is only faulty vision that gets worse with age

See what is around you

Apathy blinds you from everything near you

See the now you live in

Seeing only the past and future

Leeds you blindly away from the present

Put your Eye Helmets on and look inside you

Then Brace Yourself!
