your thoughts?


Well there is a line by Joe:

For a worker is worthy of his food.
Not in this country.

then a line:

Playing music to keep away the devil
Singing to forget their stomachs

and further:

There's a land that is fairer than day
And by faith we can see it afar

and:

You will get pie in the sky when you die

....Joe said:

That is the word of the preacher-but the preacher is an idolater
The pagan vanguard of the bosses, there is no pie in the sky

and:

It's a hard time in the country. Then they sat him in a chair and with a stethoscope put a target exactly over his heart
and then after the shot they took his ashes and spread them all over the world.

you see, fig tree!


thank you sir

It seems to me you can say all kinda googily moogedly
you can search through mystical adventures
upside down and backwards and sideways
find all them hidden meanings
and revelations
come out with your personal perspective
and a map of the unfolding plan
but still it comes down to the fact
that you got to have something
to eat and drink
you got to dissipate some energy
or your substance will dissipate itself

you see, fig tree

(contemplation music)

last night i was contemplating things irish (with the upcoming holiday and all) and came across this quote:

"I have a total irreverence for anything connected with society except that which makes the roads safer, the beer stronger, the food cheaper, the old men and old women warmer in the winter and happier in the summer."
Brendan Behan

now i had never heard of the author before, and at a quick glance, i am not so sure of his methods, but the quote got my attention, and with what you have put here, it reminded me of it, for whatever it's worth

i just came across that quote again and there was more to it....i will put it here containing the rest of it

“I respect kindness in human beings first of all, and kindness to animals. I don't respect the law; I have a total irreverence for anything connected with society except that which makes the roads safer, the beer stronger, the food cheaper and the old men and old women warmer in the winter and happier in the summer.”
Brendan Behan

Oddly enough few react when you suggest that
In fact, philosophically, all the evidence combined
All the texts of all the talk
Suggest that Jesus was not a Republican
He was not even a Democrat
In fact (just based on the written evidence)
Jesus was a Communist with an Anarchist twist
His fig tree incident to me
was an economic judgement
It wasn't about feeding (hell, he could conjure loaves and fish at will)
Anti-Semitic sorts would say it was an anti-Jewish statement
I believe it an anti-Imperialist statement
(including Jewish imperialism that he lashed out against so openly in the temple)
Imagine that, Jesus a communist
who would have thunk!

......into a good land, a land of brooks and water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills;
A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of olive oil and honey;
A land wherein thou shalt not lack anything in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass.

and fig trees, thou mayest dig brass
and fig trees, thou mayest dig brass

and fig trees

and brass

(hi O, I've got plenty of time)

i wouldn't mind having a king james version. after the initial distraction of brass being an alloy and all and out of curiosity checked my translation and it says "you will mine copper".....well after that it all made sense!

you crack me up!
