> The Darkener's Console

Sitting on the pedestal is a flaming torch, made of ivory.

“Toward the Flame” —

We drove
Away from disaster
I told, you
The flames were getting faster
But now, I have to go back
I have to walk between the stacks
This disaster is different, it seems
Benzene’s the one killing me
And I’m so sorry, that
I can’t be there for you, for me
This isn’t how it’s meant to be
This isn’t how it’s meant to be

Fall (alt.) —

Tall
So tall
You stand and act so
Sure

Fall
When you fall
We will heal this
World

Don’t forget us
Yeah, you’ll regret us
You turn and we’re still
There

One day you know
They’ll put you below
And no one will even
Care

—

Small
So small
But you think that you’re the
One

Fall
When you fall
We’ll know that it is
Done

Don’t forget it
Yeah, you’ll regret it
You turn and we’ll be
Gone

We’ll get our closure
Yeah, it’s all over
A bright, new day has dawned

Reap what you sow, you
Reap what you sow
Reap what you sow, we’ll
Stay but you will
Go

Mercury —

Farewell once again

You tried to play the joker

Three steps forward and two steps back

Oh how the light refracts

All I can do

Is pose a warning to

Myself—count:

One

Two

Three

Don’t take anything seriously

Or wait and bleed

A TSR that keeps locking

A bug slips through and memory is blocking

Constantly on defense

This is why I’m so damn tense

Or maybe I’m just another

Flying high with a broken rudder

You’re on Notice, POTUS —

Just a few warnings to the incoming POTUS, from the citizenry:

  • We haven’t forgotten anything
  • We aren’t taking any of your shit
  • We’re watching your every move
  • We will use every law, precedence and tool available to stop you
  • We will not back down, ever
  • When you’re gone, we will celebrate

Stand Up —

Listen America:

To Trump, and to those who follow him religiously (including some in Congress), there’s no differentiating between the ones he hates.

  • Illegal immigrants
  • Transexuals
  • African Americans
  • Feminists, any woman who doesn’t like him
  • “Woke” people (Liberals/Democrats, RINOs, and anyone else who doesn’t subscribe to MAGA)

He’s going to go through his list one by one. Many of the people above are part of MAGA families.

He’s starting with the ones that most people may not involve themselves with: Illegal immigrants. He’s going to use our military to deport them, and has said that there’s no price tag on getting them out.

I’ve got a question for you: Does anybody actually BELIEVE he’s going to stop there? No. He’s going to go through his list, one by one. People like him are never satisfied. They’ll never sit back and say, “Wow, America is GREAT AGAIN!” or whatever because there will always be those who oppose him. And as long as he doesn’t have 100% LOYALTY…he won’t stop.

We need to STAND UP TOGETHER. We need to stand up and tell him we’re not going to take ANY of his shit anymore.

You know, all of this stuff wasn’t that much of an issue before 2015 during the election. I can remember that far back.. I, along with most other sane people, were shocked and disgusted at how he tore apart the political norms of the campaigning process. Not that it was perfect before then, but Trump ripped up the ideals of decency and respect and even the law. We have to remember that THIS IS NOT NORMAL.

STAND UP. We’ve got to stand up for ALL of the above groups, and everyone else, together. This is the only way the people can win against a tyrant. Stand up for what’s right, just, for EVERYONE.

JUSTICE FOR ALL.

Don’t budge.

I kinda get podcasts now —

I’m just riffin’ daaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwggg….but podcasts are kinda like virtual friends that talk to you about stuff you both like. You don’t get to talk back, but there’s still a connection because it feels like they’re talking to you.

There are so many out there, it’s a different social ecosystem than any other. There is commercialization (ads, sponsors, etc.) but not for all of them. I get the feeling like many do it for nothing other than themselves and connection to others.

MAGA….Again? —

“Make America Great Again” 2024?

Wasn’t the whole compromise in 2016, “Give Trump a chance” ?

We did that. Remember what happened?

He had 4 years to accomplish it. What did he do instead?

Well, he complained, deflected, completely mismanaged a global pandemic which ended up killing millions, got impeached twice, incited violence hate and prejudice of every type, broke the law countless times, and refused to acknowledge his defeat while inciting a mob that murdered police who were defending our nation’s capitol.

We gave him a chance. Anyone who’s willing to give him another is a fucking fool.
