20/20 Gonzo 34: Bring It To Ruin


Looked at me like I was speaking some other language, I repeated what I told him, using the same english language, hoping he would understand this time, "Protests around here are usually at Erwin Park.  North End," I said, slower than the first time.  He had asked me where the march was happening, his two friends stayed in the car.  Figured everyone knew where to go, but they were out of towners.  Gave him some quick directions and wished them a successful protest, everybody loves Erwin Park, especially when they visit for the first time.  Unique by nature I thought as they drove away, that place is like our own Central Park, never, never, never shall a housing development, or some other enterprise, bring it to ruin.

Madness, in all it forms, will take you down.  It is best to avoid by occupying time with productive, benevolent, and/or entertaining activities surrounded by plenty of sleep.  Keeps you from going crazy, keeps you from going mean.  The airing of grievances has never been easier, let it out out, but don't let it pop.  Needs to have the right bounce to work right, not too flat, not too full.

The seething of the majority, sickened by the screens, losing faith in many, faith displaced from the start.  All have done unrighteous things, all have had unrighteous thoughts, all are guilty of something.  Humans are humans, it is a common trait.  The self righteous are ignorant, they know not what they do, they hide behind things, they hide things, they justify things, they demand things.  It's easy to spot because we all recognize it in ourselves, and the mirror don't lie, but it sure can can make us mad.

Sources Say 5: The Fool's Century

  On the inside it's uglier than most can imagine.  Scandal, cover ups, hook ups, and pick-me-ups.  No telling what kinda narcotics float around, pill to pill, shot to shot, dose to dose, a pharmaceutical disaster.  Like Elvis without any music or Chuck Berry without any moves or Bruce Lee without any kicks or Speedy Gonzales without any speed.  Just dizzy, slurring pigment obsessed drunks, sources say. What does CBS stand for anyway?  Doesn't matter now, they've become irrelevant, a bleak reminder of last century.  The fool's century.  Duped and looped.  Now we know. We started in around the late 40's, picking fights, manipulation, sinister and crude.  Stealthy.  Spies with eyes in the skies.  Peace was never kept, it was invaded.  America was a TV show on CBS.

Sources Say 2: They Miss The Ink

  Related to manipulation abuse, but with a capitalistic twist.  They are paid by the manipulators and the victims of manipulation.  It's a winning business model until the walls come crumbling down on the street, until the curtains pull back.  You thought Oz was bad, at least they got you back to Kansas.  These journal jerks got nothing. Even a few of my sources have moved on, the wreck has left the place dim and disgruntled.  Evidently, what's-her-name stormed out of a staff meeting in tears, mumbling something about pills and booze and karaoke night.  Guess it didn't go well.  Everyone laughed at her when she left the room, seems a real toxic work environment.  They miss the ink. But that won't stop them from cheering on China, and for good reasons.  Ask the finance department.  Money's money, honey, and they got the name, the bull statue, the cufflinks.  They got smear jobs, insinuations, and an editorial board.  Somew...
