WHEN GREEN FADES TO BLACK, TWO OLD MEN HACK - AT THE GREEN EARTH
[Devo (De-Evolution) Dylan intro]
FOR THE TIMES
THEY AREN'T A'CHANGING
FOR THE TIMES
THEY'RE A'REVERTING
FOR THE TIMES
THEY'RE A'INVERTING
AND THE CHIMES
HAVE BEEN A'DESERT-ING
FOR THE CRIMES AND SINS
ARE A'FLOURISHING
BEHIND A BLOODY HYPOCRITICAL NURDNING
A RAY-GUN WITH A BRAIN FULL OF FARTHINGS
WITH A CONSCIENCE AS THIN AS SATURN'S RINGS

<un-trained writer's attempt at pseudo-scripture after reading John>
FOR IN THOSE DAYS - IT SEEMS -
UP AROSE A SAVIOR FOR THE PERSIANS
AGAINST THEIR MOST BRUTAL AND HORRIBLE KING - Pahlavi -
A SON OF A LOVER OF HITLER (OR SHICKELGRUBER IN THE REAL)
WHO, HAVING OPPRESSED HIS OWN PEOPLE (more than 100,000 DEAD)
FOR HIS ELEVEN PALACES (FOR IS NOT GOLD THE ONLY COMFORT FOR THOSE WHO SINK BELOW THE LEVEL OF HUMANE - NESS) AND VAIN - GLORIOUS SELF - LOVE.
THIS SEEMED SAVIOR - KHOMEINI - BEING A HOLY MOSLEM MAN
APPEARED TO THE MASSES, AS A MOSES -
AND CERTAINLY HE WAS, AT FIRST.
A GREAT MORAL LESSON 'TWAS THEN PLAYED OUT,
AS IT HAS BEEN MANY TIMES BEFORE__________
BECAUSE THOUGH HE SOUGHT GOOD FOR THE PEOPLE OF HIS LAND,
AND HE KNEW THE RELIGION OF MUHAMMAD IN MUHAM'S TIME,
THERE QUICKLY GREW FACTIONS WITHIN PERSIA OF DIVERS VIEWS
WHICH ALLOWED EVIL TO MISLEAD THIS "SAVIOR"
TO UNWITTINGLY BECOME A HANDMAIDEN TO SATAN.
THIS MAN, BEING GREATLY LEARNED IN THE ANCIENT SCRIPTURES
SUPPOSED THAT THEY WERE SUFFICIENT KNOWLEDGE IN AND OF THEMSELVES
FOR ANY SITUATION THE WORLD MIGHT PRESENT
- FOR THIS IS WHERE HE COMMITTED HIS GREAT BLUNDER - FORGETTING
THE MOST FUNDAMENTAL ASPECT OF ALL RELIGION AND GOOD PHILOSOPHY -
- FOR THIS IS <T R U T H> - ,
UNVARNISHED, UNHINDERED AND LEADING EVER TO
BETTER AND HIGHER <INTELLIGENCE>, ERE WITH
<LOVE-UNDERSTANDING-COMPASSION>, WHICH IS A TRIUMVIRATE OF
<HUMANE> - NESS TO SET THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN GOOD AND AIMLESS PHILOSOPHY, RELIGION AND BESTIAL COMBATIVENESS. i.e. the metric of judgement.
ANYONE CAN UNDERSTAND HIS PREJUDICE AGAINST THE NEWER "MODERN" KNOWLEDGE WHICH AS FAR AS HE SAW - HAD ONLY BROUGHT TO HIS PEOPLE AND CREED EFFICIENT MEANS OF DEATH AND PERSECUTION__
AND SO HE THREW HIS ENORMOUS SUPPORT TO THE (IN SOME WAYS) IGNORANT, ORTHODOX LADEN (BURDENED) CLERGY - WHO,
THOUGH THEY WELL - INTENTIONED WERE; ALAS, TOO BLIND AND IGNORANT OF THE MODERN WORLD'S POWERS AND STRUGGLES TO SEE THE TRUE EFFECTS OF THEIR ACTIONS - INDEED KHOMEINI CAME TO VIEW THE WORLD AS A CHILD - WE (THE GOOD) AGAINST THEY (THE BAD = THE NON - "REVOLUTIONARY ISLAMIC WORLD") FORGETTING (OR NOT COMPREHENDING) THE DELICATE ALLIANCE OF FORCES THAT HAD MADE HIS ASCENDANCY POSSIBLE
- FOR HIS GREAT FAITH HAD INDEED BLINDED HIM INTO FORGETTING THAT GOD MAY GIVE A VICTORY TO THOSE ONLY WHO FIGHT WELL ENOUGH ON THEIR OWN -FOR GOD HELPS, HE DOES NOT COME DOWN AND DO THE PHYSICAL OR MENTAL BATTLE HIMSELF
- FOR THIS IS A WORLD OF MEN, NOT GODS - IT IS THEIR TESTING GROUND.
{a world of examination - as it 'twere}
- SO THAT, IN SUPPOSING THE MODERN RICHEST, MOST POWERFUL NATION TO BE SATAN HIMSELF HE ALLOWED HOSTAGES TO BE HELD IN HIS COUNTRY TO BRING DOWN THE U.S. AMERICAN LEADER, BELIEVING, MOST IGNORANTLY AND FOOLISHLY THAT SUCH A DOWNFALL WOULD FORCE IMPROVEMENT IN THE LEADERSHIP AND POLICIES OF THIS COUNTRY.
SADLY, HOWEVER, HIS ATTEMPT IN IGNORANCE TO REDUCE SATAN'S POWER PLAYED PERFECTLY WELL [A LA SATAN'S SPIDER WEB TRAP] DIRECTLY INTO THE HANDS OF CORRUPTION, EVIL AND OPPRESSION WHICH HE THOUGHT (FOOLISHLY AND SELF-RIGHTEOUSLY) HE WAS THWARTING.
FOR AS IT CAME TO PASS - HIS HUMILIATION OF THE CURRENT LEADER (CARTER) MERELY INSURED THAT THE MORE MAMMON -PROSTITUTED, HYPOCRITICALLY FASCIST, NATIONALISTIC AND HENCE MORE DANGEROUS FACTION IN THAT MOST POWERFUL COUNTRY WOULD BE SWEPT BACK INTO POWER!!!
AGAIN, THIS WAS THE MORE SHORT - SIGHTED, IGNORANT AND HENCE MORE BRUTAL (SATANIC) FACTION - WHICH ANY CURSORY KNOW - LEDGE (=GOD-AGE) OF THE INTERNAL SITUATION WOULD HAVE MADE CLEAR TO HIM.
- BUT SATAN, IN HIS FAVORITE DISGUISE OF SELF - RIGHTEOUS "KNOWLEDGE" LED HIM TO WEAR BLINDING SCALES OF APPARENT = IGNORANT (SO-CALLED) "TRUTH"
UPON HIS EYES AND MIND AND HEART AND SOUL -
BEWARE THE MAN WHO "KNOWS WITHOUT A DOUBT" FOR HE MAY
BE SATAN'S FOOL - PAWN ......................AND THERE BE MANY - ALL TOO MANY
{"One born every minute"}
THE SHAME ONLY BEGINS HERE
- FOR SO DISRUPTIVE DID THIS HOSTAGE SITUATION PROVE -
THAT GOOD MEN WERE FRUSTRATED FOR THE LEADERSHIP
- AND, INDEED, ONLY ONE OF EVERY TWO PEOPLE IN THE LAND DID EVEN CAST
A BALLOT - WHICH WAS THE LOWEST NUMBER IN THREE DECADES_
__ WHICH SPOKE POORLY OF THE PEOPLE'S FAITH IN THEIR LEADERS
__ AND YET THE "NEW" GROUP HAILED ITSELF LOUDLY AND DID CRY THAT THE "PEOPLE" HAD GIVEN THEM A MANDATE TO DO AS THEY PLEASED
- WHICH ALL SEEMED STRANGELY REMINISCENT OF THE "BIG LIE" APPROACH
USED FOR HITLER - THE MODERN MODEL OF SATAN__
__ AND QUICKLY THIS NEW GROUP SHOWED ITSELF TO BE A CONTINUATION OF EARLIER GREEDY, HYPOCRITICAL, SHORT - SIGHTED & IGNORANT PAWNS
OF THE GOLD KINGS IN THE WESTERN WORLD -
EVIL'S MARKER W/IN A FEW WEEKS OF THIS PERVERSION WAS LAID DOWN
IN "EL SALVADOR" WHERE NUNS WERE RAPED & MURDERED
AND IN NEW YORK CITY WHERE A MUSE OF PEACE (JOHN LENNON) WAS ASSASSINATED-
------------------------- SIGNS APPEAR-- TO THOSE WHO RECOGNIZE THEM ------
=============================================================
THE "NEW ISOLATIONISM" OF THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF AMERICANS - AND THE "PATRIOTIC IGNORANCE" OF REAGAN'S 1984
(what would TJ think?)
The Global Perspective/concern instilled by the reality of the Viet-Nam body bag homecomings upon the generation called up to "serve" (or to "be served" - as on an altar), and the half - generation of 5 years younger cognizants (now @24-29 years old) are giving way to the next wave of young innocents who have little direct remembrance and fear of that "experience".
This fact, along with the dimming of memory for those older, and the settling into of careers, MONEY and family obligations of the intermediate group, allows a "cognizant gap" to exist, as regards what really are the consequences of "MILITARY INTERVENTION" and paves the way for a third sacrifice of America's young since the last justified war (WWII), for the political careers of conservative ego-maniacs and the continued dominance of the first world over all others in the glorious defence of our "standard of Living".
Meanwhile, as long as Salvadoreans, or Lebanese, or Afghans fight and die -- it's O.K.......y'know!
as long as we can make the payments on our house, car and other sundry debts to our commitment to Economic Dominance. (THE GREEN GREED DEVIL OF THE WEST)
And the popular majors in colleges these days are business oriented - & the Romans never really knew why they decayed - y'see they weren't into Philosophy (it doesn't pay$$$ quick enough - 'twas the Greeks who thought a little DEEPer)
-------------------------------------------------------------
One Generation got shot to Hell
One Generation learned to forget, and did well -
and allowed their kid brothers to start it over again - SWELL!
Reagan glories in the Victories of War,
he's fought and died in a dozen battles on distant shores
on celluloid. {cellophane}
He recalls how well we fought in W W TWO,
I couldn't agree more - I'm against Fascists too!
but if he is -
what does he spend our tax money on in the Salvadorean Zoo??
Democracy he sais - as the Death Squads take aim on you.
(with bullets marked - made in the red, white, and blue)
Yes - Ray-GUN says the silent majority elected him,
by a landslide - it demonstrated a mandate not slim
but does no one remember that fewer turned out,
than for any prez. in thirty years, without a doubt?
& that Khomeini on Carter's back could have
elected MICKEY MOUSE,
if he had been the only opposition in the house?
And now the "Right" Right say we don't want to know,
what they do around the world -
cause it would harm their show!
of strength and arrogance against "our enemy" -
whatever it is,
you see Big Daddy/Brother knows best what for all 'tis,
so don't complain about the direction we are going,
it's 1984 - and the BIGLIES ARE flowing -
No, it just seems like the thirties in the Germanies - y'know?
