Alternatives to What....?

                Okay, so I was raised in the sixties, where the Civil Rights movement and Women's Liberation and the psychedelic drugs reigned in the Summer of Love, and the future for evolutionary spiral of the species of Human Beings looked bright.  Shining Star for you to see, What your Life, could Truly Be.....not, I am the Taxman....
         I have closely watched with my ear to the ground, and my eyes wide shut, waiting for the pillars of whatever was supposed to happen in the coming years to be supportive of the foundations of Human Kind, considering they kept repeating to me those euphemisms, like Change Takes Time, and you Can't Always get What you Want, but, if you try sometimes, you just Might Find, you get What You Need. Somewhere in the ongoing decades the Drums no longer pounded Rhythm to my Brain.
        So now, quickly fast forward to 2012, with Obama, the guy who got us all cheering and yelling, "Yes, We Can", down in Columbia, where the Drug War is a prominent way of life, say, even though the Drug War has failed, that legalization is not the way to go.  Deja Vu isn't pounding at my door, or patching the emotional expectations that over the years have punctured my trust in the lyrics of "Time will Come Today", or "Time is on Our Side", considering after that 2008 chanting stopped ringing in our ears, that either the lack of support for Obama after the election, or the Republicans decision to stop Obama by forgetting their jobs as a governing body, giving the people what they want and need, including a good education, taking care of seniors, doing what it takes to be competitive in a global market, and taking precious care of the world's environment, at the very least.  Forget the cost, consider the symbolic character of what the United States represents.  I now ask you to begin to understand the phrase, "You can either pay me now, or pay me later...." which can easily stand for the lack of fiscal responsibility.
          We are now out of Iraq, though still supporting our own chaos in Afghanistan, still spilling caustic rhetoric into the mainstream of the Middle Class, who by the way, have been neglected in the pursuing 30 or 40 years, since the Vietnam conflict, which is where I lost one of my brothers and we still have in congruences in our applications of enforcing drug laws either enacted by legislation in the Federal sense by legislators, while at the same time publicly voting to legalize soft core drugs like Marijuana, to balance out the government deficits that occupy most of the present day governing bodies, because of  poorly designed fiscal concepts that are far too extraneous to go into in this diatribe on the loss of our dreams or expectations we threw out into the Universe of the future, or if you want to say it, of "MY" dreams.  Please, it is time for sanity, fiscal, spiritual or otherwise,common sense, community and creative and innovative thinking to take over for those failures that all governing bodies in the Global Mind Speak have put us into the " Smack into the Middle" of, and are full of you know what. Time for them to all be put to sleep, period.  I have no case, other than that, so let me restate the obvious, this is my story and I am sticking to it.  Thank you for any time spent trying to plow through whatever you think this is.
