"In This Time" Poem by Michael Walkerjohn

Criteria
clarifying underlying
attentions, deteriorating
transference testing arriving
positive, and large scaled, over
all of this global world, would not
this, in wildly unpredictable seemingly
malicious unpredictability; express ‘extremes'
of the worst experiences about to be experienced?
Grasp, the enormity of, ‘much bigger than all of US'!
‘Increased unpredictability, unique trajectory, the
witnessing of the disconnects when every
thought and statement reiterates …
"We don't know what we don't know! "
One, once realizing this humbling of the
unnecessarily blind, and overwhelmingly unsettling
within every individual's perception, of the prevalent impacts
complex and adept significantly and particularly engaging in
‘this systems' uncertain present; a target turning and
forward moving hovering and reaching toward
‘knocking on death's door' as each of the
‘species human' simply continues on
in a mode of ‘chasing the world? '
What are the ‘means' of changing
this practice? A particularly ‘portable'
human specialty … that ‘monkey see then
monkey do' insanity not confined to the environments
of any one sector being instead a prevalence throughout
every fiber of the current ‘human condition; ' this attracting
of ‘the elected' developing the biggest impacts resulting in the
loosening of all things within the worldwide community of
all humans … this infection infecting the thoughts and
mindset, of each and every human; consuming the
humane and allowing the toxic bloom of the
inhumane to spread across the globe …
How do ‘we' then express overwhelmingly
and create the biggest impact in the ‘best' possible
way for all of the ‘human community' to exhibit a worldwide
‘protect all' condition that world be an everlasting characteristic
for a ‘next phase' system wide change? That change, one wherein
the ‘response, ' from the ‘pinnacle' of humankind would be that
resounding; OH, Hell Yes! Here is a thought. A worldwide call
for a new ‘preparedness, ' based on every moment that
remains carrying a calculation, however fraught
testing the endurance of the human spirit!
This introducing once and for all, the emotional
support passed on and through ‘our' species ultimate
beliefs, that ‘together' we are each, in this moment; our
own ‘healers' blessed with an acute awareness, a completely
sane, and intensely humane surge in humaneness eliminating the
brainlessness currently exhibited by the leadership of the one nation
that is rapidly becoming that meandering, rudderless, and beguiled
heaven for blithe ignorance and idiocy; this good old U.S. of A!
This now being said … are not your nose rings causing your
noses to bleed? More somber and most unflatteringly
so, at an almost unendurable dazed flattening is
this question poised: Why are the each of US
further questioning ‘our collective will' to
change these trends entirely? Is it not
the penultimate moment to pursue
and effectively; bring change?
Come into being people!
What is in a memory
and why are our memories
so easily misperceived and easily
muddled? Why is there such a concern
and concentration of societal and political
thought and speak, focused upon memory?
Folks, memory is; that ultimate smokescreen.
No two memories are precisely alike. Discussing
issues based upon memory and biased by memory
turn simple concerns into frustrating and demanding
points of ‘zero return! ' This equates to absolutely
nothing being done on any of the issues that
are burning through the fabric of a very
sotted and corruptible, seriously
laughable elected leadership
strata which is effecting each
and every participant in this nation's
present direction … ‘in this time.'
