Hitch Hiking Blue

Arrived to split as beautiful place as I have seen
Then overland to a central place and my next ride
The worst place in Bosnia
More rubble than left standing down a central line

I had kuna from Croatia I could spend this was nice for me
We had lunch on one side and someone paid with money I did not yet have
Across the street around the corner to the other side I spent my last kuna

It was a nice lunch and somehow I digested with no problems not understanding my surroundings
I left with a guy from Oklahoma in a Land Rover almost as old as I
We picked up a hitch hiker or two soldiers Robert and they knew where to get out
The first surprise in war there are so many walking soldiers in twos and threes
We crossed many lines that day on a map dotted in life drawn with blood

Several years later I lived in that divided worst place in Bosnia
Four of us left for Sarajevo having missed the bus in two directions
Two headed east two headed west mostly small cars no room for four

I went with one other to Dornji Vakuf around to Sarajevo we made
Each direction was more or less the same not sure how we decided
I liked old Travnik more then and Turbe was open

We stood at the side of the road and somehow arrived our destination
Not sure how we got home but the trip there seems like yesterday
Certain moments never leave me and they take me when I am ajar

Yes when I am open they come and speak to me I never really had any problems
I stand at the side of the road and will arrive my destination
This next war zone I teach children again and find I sleep with reckless abandon


Certainly more rubble than left standing I pass several times a week to work
I see the most impossible of decisions made in the third grade nothing new
We stood in the hallways as the shells came down upon the city

We stand in the hallways as shots ring out in this war zone
Volunteers come to help
I do not hitch hike enough anymore, but I may have enough
Here I am this destination

Voids

One of  the largest structures we have found are voids
They define outline remind give structure the future

Beyond the local group of galaxies to be clear the scale
Yet also the atoms are voids the most natural of occurrence

To this webbing life clings or is it the voids love fleas give it away
Everything can come first, things tend to clump, it is their nature

Right and Wrong

1984 was a commentary about us
The system is irrelevant; problems are created by people
Such a modern question to have no answer
How much should the state know?
There is very little that it can know

If we listened to the German Chancellor's cell phone so long what did we gain?
This slowed me down as no one seems to ask that question
Someone had a briefing well prepared and had to do no work
One of the ways we create value
What did all those spies in Germany do when they got it direct

Only a few fair questions I can find
Witness testimony has a bad track record in research last couple decades
Yet we are confident in our technology
There are still people in these equations
We have only added variables not removed any

 1984 terabytes fool many to believe that resolution is but round the corner
This is obsession and solution is here now
Did we not help the Greeks because we knew the Germans would?
Did we not sign Kyoto because we knew Germans would?
Well then good for us; I can see no other advantages taken

The west has always burned their bridges upon their return from Germany
Hope and resolution

Big words

I never had use for big words before anymore
I shared there and their anguish
Literature developed my empathy

Well not much use for big words
I never hardly write them still do sometimes read then
But not with the same eyes or the same anything

Found a new use for them today
Teaching children with what some call behaviour problems in their history is no indication of future difficulties
There isn't much resources available

Not for anyone really
Just the way we are made
Scarcity is in our soul not in environment

When I teach difficult rooms
I throw around big words like they belong there
A child giving you trouble will not ask their meaning
But their mind will

We have the limited resources finite amazing
We don't multi task well
That second they wonder they forget for a second why they never ask for help

We are all ugly

The way we were made
Never asked

I don't write as much when I'm happy
It is good that life is full of trouble

Never asked for always given
We all have this beauty

To Remember

If you can hear me clap your hands one time
If you can hear me clap your hands two times

Certain things need to be remembered
Certain things will not

Positive momentum to maintain
Inherent in the fabric of space and time

Little bit more around what we call positive
Bad things exist if you want to know the truth

And it is worse than you think
Negative positive
Good bad
Matter antimatter
Me you us and them

When they come together they don't cancel each other out
They annihilate one and other

Such destruction could propel us to near light speed

Lucky Seven

  it comes and goes and you find luck in seven
Three times down four times up
