Antiseptic

 All I have done today so far is post a lot more vital information on facebook pertaining to the Occupy Wall Street movement/protests/revolution. It has begun to spread like wild fire. There are even other countries beginning to show support for the movement. It is truly amazing and an awesome time to be living in. Future generations will be talking about this for some time to come and it will be in all the history books (digital or other form)! www.occupywallst.org

 Other than that, I have been writing/typing away and formulating some story ideas and new poem ideas. I very quickly decided to start writing another poetry e-book. It will be my forth and perhaps most interesting. So far it is titled Antiseptic Anarchism. The title came to me as I was reading Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass. Somewhere in the intro he wrote something about how he believes the poet to be the antiseptic of the world. That really struck a chord with me and I got this image in my head of a very altruistic way of life. My poetry seems to be taking on a new form as of lately and I do hope that it continues down that path. :-)

Revolt Now


Revolt like you mean it
Burn in effigy
If need be
Let them laugh
And accuse
Re-learn
Disorder
Is not fate
Plausibility
Is a factor
Revolt because
You can
Because it
Flows through
Your veins
There is no pain
Greater
Than the pain
Of oppression
Rise up
And shout
Demonstrate
Your clout
You do have Power
We do have Power
March! March on!
Revolt because we need it!


This poem is dedicated to the current Wall Street protests and the entire movement that is spreading across the country and around the globe. Occupy Wall Street! Occupy the World!

Happy Bday to Stephen King!

STOP VOTING START SHARING!

I believe in people. Not politicians.  We're just lazy and instead of doing the work ourselves we're going to put our faith in yet ANOTHER one of these trolls. Makes me sick, honestly.

Don't vote for anyone. Just stop voting in general. we need to put our faith in EACH OTHER!
It's the only way! Our minds are exhausted and the government is taking full advantage of it.

Written Word Devotion

I am ready to fully devote my life to writing and everything it entails. I want to stop playing in all these egotistical "bands" and start doing what I am truly meant to do. I just cannot bother any longer with pretending that I actually care about fame and/or fortune. That's never been my main motivator. Music is a part of me but it does not define me. Art is a part of me but it does not define me. But writing... well, it not only defines me but it is capable of defining and redefining everyone and everything.

I shall post my progress here and also on my new personal site: www.ryanandrewloera.weebly.com

Not On Our Agenda


  How can I begin to explain? The way we suffer. The way we blame each other for every stupid misdeed; rubbish. It is of no lasting consequence. Forgiveness is our birth-right. Morality is ingrained in us all; always has been. Do not believe what some wolf in sheep’s clothing spouts off to you. You have a mind of your own. Use it! Rely on it! Do not pay attention to those falsified facts. Pay absolutely no attention to any falsified facts.
  Let your own wisdom guide you and lead you to security. You have ignored it for far too long. And please do not confuse wisdom with knowledge. Knowledge can be useful but it can also be corrupted. Wisdom is considered useless by many but only because it is incorruptible. That which cannot be commercialized drives the corporations mad. They do like to believe in their own arrogant ideologies.
  Let them. Let them believe whatever the hell they want. If it is money that makes their existence enjoyable then let them enjoy their money. If it is power that provides them with superiority then let them bathe in it. If it is greed that nourishes their minds then let them consume it. Eventually they will abuse it. Eventually they will no longer find it amusing.
  At some point they must come to the same profound understanding that every single human being has. We are one. We are interconnected. There is no separation. No dividing lines or electrified fences. No watchdogs or border patrolling can hold any of us back from our universal fate. We all know this. We all embody this. And it is not part of some new age philosophy or positive thinking seminar. It is an eternal fact!
  If you choose to be cynical about the whole thing that is part of your journey. If you choose to be kept in the dark about everything that is part of your journey. If you choose to ridicule all things metaphysical that is also part of your journey. Everything we do and say and think is always part of the same journey which we are all embarking on. There can be no doubts or uncertainties. We can fool ourselves into believing in uncertainties if we so choose to but they ultimately have no permanence. All things are impermanent. All things are ever-changing. All things are ever-moving. Moving towards that one great point of unity!
  This is an undeniable fact! Sure, we could deny it just like we have been denying it since the dawn of our species but we are running out of excuses. We are running out of reasons for denying it. Even deniability is impermanent.
  There is no escape. There is no treatment. There is no book. There is no guru. There is no president. There is no government. There is no corporation. There is NOTHING that can keep us from our destined destination anymore! We’ve been held back long enough! There is so much more to this reality than what we’ve been taught. There is so much more meaning and purpose to our existence than what we’ve been fed.
  Do not become swayed by what you see on television or hear from others who are deeply entrenched in materialism. For they too will awaken to the same conclusion. They too will have no choice but to shed their old beliefs.
  We will all be united. Not so much physically united but mentally and spiritually united. We will reach the pinnacle of human potential. But not just because it is inevitable or because we’ve spent more than enough time wallowing in duality. It is our right, our privilege, our meticulously constructed path.
  We are destined for many great things. Extinction is not on our agenda.

. My plan is working! Yes!
Haha. One of my articles was removed for copy infringement. How can I plagiarize my own work? Seems like someone got really offended and sent a complaint

9/11

  None of it made sense to me and it still doesn't. It happened way too easy and without very much interference from the government. They had way too much knowledge about it beforehand for them to say they were "unprepared." I didn't buy their explanation then and I don't buy it now.

Television no longer has the same hold on me that it once did.
I am going to offend everyone. I've decided on it. People need to be offended and shocked out of complacency. Only then do they start to care.

Rotation

Here is an original short story of mine. It is titled Rotation. Please read, comment, share, enjoy. Thank you.


  The earth rotates once more on its axis. The darkened side becomes the sunny side and the sunny side becomes the darkened side. All the while, people are either getting ready for another hum drum day or going to sleep in order to be rested for another hum drum day.
  My day used to be this way but today is different. Today I’ve decided to take a walk. I wake up when my alarm goes off at 8:30 am. I have my usual breakfast of waffles and two sausage links. That’s right, two links. I change into some suitable walking attire. A faded blue t-shirt, black sweat pants and my favorite pair of green converse. 
  After a quick stretching of my joints I walk out the front door and into the luminous morning glow. I look up at the sky and try to breathe in its vibrant blue. I notice a bird fly overhead, looks like it has lagged behind the rest of the formation. I set off on foot down the end of my street. When I get there I turn right and continue in a straight line for two miles or so. I fix my gaze on a palm tree up ahead. Its bark looks rather dry and cracked, like it hasn’t been watered for a while.
  When I reach the palm tree I take a moment to choose a new path. A big, yellow school bus passes by and emits some strong fumes from its exhaust. I plug my nose but I still choke and gag for a second or two. I finally decide to cut through a vacant lot in order to get onto a decent walking path.
  The lot is as vacant as you’d expect a vacant lot to be. I remember when I was about six years old and I first heard the word vacant I thought it was the same thing as bacon. But in this vacant lot there is no bacon. There isn’t even a stove on which to cook bacon. But there is a concrete foundation and a half finished house frame. I try to imagine what the house will look like once it is completed. I hope it doesn’t end up looking like most houses. But it probably will. I try to imagine what kind of family will inhabit the house. I hope they don’t end up being like most families. But they probably will.
  I quickly wave good-bye to the vacant lot with no bacon and continue walking down a newly cemented sidewalk. After another two miles, I come upon a marching line of red ants. Some of which I accidentally step on and some I try my best to avoid stepping on. I like to think that they are grateful every time someone purposefully avoids stepping on them. I know I’m grateful every time someone avoids stepping on me.
  I try to follow their militant pattern but they are far more devoted to it than I am. I suppose that’s a good thing. A couple of them are carrying what looks like bread crumbs on their backs. Some of the bread crumbs are at least five times bigger than they are. But somehow they manage to carry them all the way to their nest or hive or colony. I think ants live in colonies. Much more structured colonies than us.
  I wave good-bye to the militant ants and hop over some discarded beer bottles. Two have been smashed and four are still intact but empty. They almost look like shiny, gold chalices. But it is the sunlight that is successfully pulling off that illusion. The labels on all of them have been stripped and scraped off. I wonder why someone would scrape a label off a beer bottle. Maybe they weren’t supposed to be drinking. Maybe they were drinking on the sidewalk because they weren’t allowed to drink in their own home. Whatever their reason was they could have at least disposed of them properly. I pick up one of the empty bottles and toss it high up in the air. It lands and smashes six feet in front of me. I can hear a dog barking in the distance.
  My eyes scan the area for some kind of bag to collect the remaining bottles in. I spot a dusty garbage bag stuck to some weeds. It’s pretty big and only has one small tear in it. The only other garbage in it is some torn up fliers for a new techno club. I doubt we need another monotonous techno club taking up valuable space in order to charge twelve bucks for a margarita. One by one I place the three scraped beer bottles in the garbage bag. I tie the top as best as I can and drag it along with me.
  I try to wave good-bye to the broken shards of beer bottles but it just seems a little sad. They continue glistening in the sunlight and I continue walking. As I walk past a stray cat I begin to contemplate what to do with the beer bottles. I could bury them. But a dog or little kid might dig them up and start playing with them. I could just chuck them into a dumpster. But I really would like to find some better use for them. I could recycle them. But that’s practically the same thing as burying them. Or is it?
  While my mind is preoccupied I come upon a busy intersection. Traffic had come to a halt due to the fact that a motorcyclist had slammed into a traffic light. The motorcyclist and his motorcycle didn’t look badly injured. The motorcycle had a few small scrapes. The motorcyclist was shouting at the other motorists for not helping him move his motorcycle sooner.
  An elderly gentleman who was waiting at the bus stop walks up to me and says, “You missed a great show here!” He laughs and coughs and laughs and coughs.
  I wait for the cross walk light to blink on and I cross to the other side as smooth as butter. That’s right. Butter. Who doesn’t like butter? I dare you to say you don’t like butter! The only thing that can compete with butter is bacon. Yes, bacon. Perhaps I’ll start up my own bacon factory and call it Vacant Bacon. Sounds like a good idea.
  The three beer bottles in the garbage bag make a clinking sound with every step I take. It reminds me of a metronome. Every time I hear the word metronome I instantly picture a gnome on a subway train. Short people have a need for transportation too. If gnomes exist then why wouldn’t they use public transportation? It’s just common sense.
  Two joggers jog ahead of me. They are panting and perspiring a lot. One of them is a young woman and the other a young man. They both smile at each other as they jog. They seem pretty fit and full of energy. But they will never know the same kind of joy that I know.
  I approach another intersection but this one is less crowded with vehicles. But not because it isn’t heavily trafficked. It is less crowded because each car is whizzing by at a speed that is unrecognizable to me. I push the button for the crosswalk light. I wait a few seconds. Nothing happens. I push the button for the crosswalk light again. I wait a few more seconds. Nothing happens. I debate with myself on whether I should risk crossing or not. I am unable to come to an agreement with myself.
  Then I get an idea. I untie the garbage bag, reach in and pull out one of the torn fliers for the new overrated techno club. I crinkle it up into a tightly packed ball and place it gently in the street. When I see the next car approaching at a speed that is unrecognizable to me I make sure to pay close attention. The next car whizzes by and I watch as the balled up techno flier rolls away at a speed that is unrecognizable to me.
  I decide not to cross. I re-tie the garbage bag and sling it over my shoulder. I then turn around and walk in the opposite direction. After walking a good four miles, I come upon a street vendor. He is selling a variety of snacks and beverages. I flag him down and examine his selection. He does not know much English but he is able to recommend a bacon wrapped hotdog with mustard and relish. I call him a genius and pat him on the back. I also select a Diet Pepsi to wash down his magnificent masterpiece. I give him a five dollar bill and tell him to keep the change. He then tells me I’m fifty cents short. I offer him one of the empty beer bottles instead and he reluctantly accepts it. He wishes it wasn’t empty but knows that he can get a few cents by recycling it.
  I wave good-bye to the bacon-wrapped hotdog genius and walk on. The harsh sun begins to take its toll on me after another three miles. Where am I going? I ask myself out loud. I pass a couple of shops and restaurants and stop walking as soon as I see a lovely plant-filled park. I drop the garbage bag on the moist grass and plop down under a shady tree. I’m not sure what kind of tree it is. Maybe some kind of oak or maple.
  A group of skateboarders are attempting a series of complicated maneuvers on the green painted tennis court. Two little girls are fighting over the “good swing” and two teenage lovers are caressing each other on a grassy knoll. This is what life should be like every day. I lean back against the shady tree and rest my eyes for a spell.
  I am awakened some minutes later by a loud scream. I stand up and look around for the source of the scream. Apparently one of the little girls punched the other one in the nose and they were now locked in a death grip of sorts. They start rolling around in the sand and shouting incoherent phrases at each other. Finally, their mothers run to them and pull them apart.
  I glance over at the two teenage lovers on the grassy knoll. I walk over to them and hand them one of the torn up techno fliers. Apparently the monotonous techno club allows the under twenty-one crowd in once a week. They both look ecstatic when I hand them the torn flier. The teenage girl looks up at me and says, “Thanks! We’ve been wanting to go to something like this for a while!” The teenage boy half smiles.
  I then walk over to the group of skateboarders on the green painted tennis court. I watch them try to pull off some flashy tricks and jumps. “I wish we had something to jump over besides this lame tennis net.” One of the skateboarders says. I then reply with, “Would you like to jump over some beer bottles?” All the skateboarders stare at me in a confused manner. I take out the two remaining empty beer bottles and place them in the center of the green painted tennis court.
  “If you can jump over these bottles I’ll give you whatever is left in this garbage bag.” I say to the skateboarders. They still have a confused look on their faces but they are also intrigued by what the garbage bag may or may not be carrying. We shake hands to seal our deal and they all line up like militant ants.
  One by one they jump over the empty beer bottles with their skateboards. Some of them fall but they all jump clear over the bottles. I congratulate them then hand them the garbage bag. As they all peer into it I wave good-bye and continue walking.
  I walk for another mile and a half then decide to sit down on one of the bus stop benches. I still have no idea where I am going but I am glad I have no idea where I am going. I kneel down to re-tie my right green converse. “Are you taking the bus too?” I look up and am greeted with a beautiful face that belongs to a beautiful girl. “I might take the bus but I’m not sure.” I reply. “Oh. I’m taking the bus to school today. It’s my first year in college.” She sits down next to me and fiddles with a textbook. Her perfume smells like a bouquet of roses. “Your first year of college? That sounds exciting.” I respond. “Yeah. I guess.” She looks at me and smiles.
  Her blonde hair hangs down in curls just above her shoulders. She is wearing a light blue long-sleeved blouse and tight fitting blue jeans. It appears she has written something on her pink sneakers. “What is that you have written on your sneakers?” I ask her. “This? Oh it’s just the bus schedule. I wrote it on my sneakers in permanent marker so I wouldn’t forget which buses go where. I’m no good at keeping a paper schedule.” She blushes a little. “Oh I see. That is quite ingenious. You wouldn’t happen to like bacon… do you?”
  She stares at me in a confused manner but then quickly smiles and laughs. “I love it! The only thing that can compete with bacon is butter!”
  My heart starts beating a thousand miles per second. I gradually slide closer to her on the bench. “You are fascinating. Please tell me your name.”
  “Cindy. My name is Cindy. Cindy Simon. Well, my full name is Cinnamon Sable Simon but I prefer just Cindy.” She blushes a little more.
  “It is a great honor to meet you, Cinnamon. I mean Cindy. My name is Van. Well, my full name is Van Confucius Schwartz.” I extend my hand to hers, she pauses and then slowly grips and shakes.
  “It’s an honor to meet you too, Van. My bus is approaching so I’m afraid we have to cut our conversation short. Unless you’ve decided to take the bus after all?” Her eyes display a large amount of passion.
  “Maybe I will.” The bus comes to a strong halt as she tries to coax me on.
  “Oh and I happen to have brought some bacon with me to snack on.” She whips out a plastic baggie stuffed with bacon.
  “Okay, we shall ride the bus!” We both laugh out loud as we hop onto the bus.
  All this happened while the earth rotated on its axis once more. And the sunny side became the darkened side and the darkened side became the sunny side.
  This is what life can be. This is what life should be.
