I thought about this and around this for a long time, so I guess it's time to write it down.

THE NATURAL ORDER.

There is a natural balance in Earths history and mankind's tentative balance along the scale.
  When humans began to band together and create communities, control of fire / light created a need for oil . Eventually settling on whale oil.
   So it was by the grace of whatever one might want to attribute it to,that let petroleum come into play at a time when whales are in danger of being annihilated and dead horses were clogging the streets of cities in the east, left dead or dying by the Cartmen who simply unstrapped the sick or dead animal and moved on.
  .Oil / petroleum led to the creation of the internal combustion engine.
   So again a hand stirred the ***.                
  Consider these improvements( if such they were )created rapid growth and burgeoning cities . Again Providence stepped in to create radio , telephone and airplanes, essentially at a time when growth of humanity was so great , that new ways of farming , new ways of seeing the world-  were  becoming more and more necessary to a shrinking world.
   Unfortunately, at a time when we, the American initiative creators of so many trends, ideas ,Innovations and inspirations around the world, were suddenly slammed a blow that at this point, 40 years later; it's very reverberations are still being felt.
   Consider if big oil and trickle-down had not ,for spiteful and greedy involution, taken down the solar panels from the White House roof, that Jimmy Carter had installed in 1977.
  How far ahead would we be now ,in clean energy and how much less damage to the ice cap and the atmosphere would have been done??  To date... my guess is that it is incomprehensible.
  So if nature does create a balance, it seems we are coming to a critical Junction.

Right now -metaphorically speaking- we are riding shotgun in a car with a driver ,who like us ,sees cars up ahead disappearing around the curve and all hitting  their brake lights. Now any reasonable driver at highway speeds is 65 - 80 miles an hour would at least take the foot off the gas in preparation of  tapping the brakes.
  So many politicians right now are refusing to accept the brake lights... see no reason to tap the brakes to interrupt cruise control, in all actuality, completely refusing to do anything except go around the curve at full speed.
   Around that curve we may find nothing but smooth sailing ,  or we may find a catastrophe in the making.
   Nature will accept the cruise Interruption now (maybe) brakes absolutely, but Full Speed Ahead will lead to the sickening crunch of seawater rising and  spilling salt water into the lands that are used for growing crops and food -  leading to millions , maybe billions of refugees with nowhere to go.

Or we will reach critical mass of sheer ignorant arrogance and nuke ourselves into a situation that does not have the technology or population to hammer at the planet so freaking hard.

Most likely the first scenario would instigate the 2nd and those of us who crawl up out of the ashes will start the evolution to revolution journey all over again.

Ain't nature Grand ???

So many times we filled our minds with a perfect future forgetting all the traps no this be not how it is I just said forgetting that which is yet to be known how would one ever relapse without first having suffered through the disease... Might not a turtle look to the skies see the way the bird flies and see himself flying with the birds as we so often do ourselves back when we believe we could fly then we were told that we can't except by setting imagination and giving it wings all by just watering down the word

Not that I'm saying in any way this is wrong expanding its boundaries create more to Patrol as writers are charged with absolute guardianship and yet somehow we let political correct steal away with the words that it stole and yet I admit there are some that must naturally succumb not to the watering down to be drowned absolute beyond the ability to ever even try to dilute as you see the word painfully becomes painful leading to pain one word becomes ten upon releasing The Power Within with flagrant abandon we just toss out names to understand is to reason the connection and yet they don't seem to even get it yet connecting the word Heroes to all of those playing Friday Night Football   as I've heard them say for week after week year after year on the local TV news for me this word I shall never dilute will only give it due credit I know there may be those who wish to dispute me that's ok take a trip to the VA or the  local Clinic there you will see authentic...... be warned you may live to regret it  as it will break your heart not once when I say hi any group I pass by that I didn't get a warm reception you see well what it is that they gave though limping or twisted or folded in half with parts MIA hell of a price to pay as they proudly move on I realize it makes me wish I knew when I see what they paid I wish I knew what they saved

So turn not this word to lesser or staid
Some Heroes exist  like a mist of fine particles Universal expansion as this list grows in measure of value as light  will shine as I read of them in some obscure articles more  more. more  some will argue again it just needs to be seen so I ask them to  think what damage Overkill might manage to hring   again seeking a solution in many ways akin to  dilusion reality needs to retain their humanity and not treat them like they. are bit players up on the stage

My father was no actor albeit he did I believe him to have been heroic  all on his own and a hero with no  need have any type of dilution through and all of his 91 years he may never known He was itinerant and attached 60 years of marriage 12 kids and yet he stayed as i am number 10 born when he was all of 50 This Old Man burdened with Domesticity conflagration an awesome weight he managed to continue to carry but who I am today is in large part is  do in large measure to  him teaching me to play a game he said is called chasing down a word through the dictionary anybody who reads me now knows.....Know who it is we have to blame.   BTW I still do it  to this day.   I love chasing words through the dictionary.    Thanks Dad you were a hero to  more than you know.
