#resources
Remember, it takes a hell of a lot of coal, trees, and gasoline to produce and move electricity. It also takes a hell of a lot of electricity, trees, and coal to produce gasoline. Same can be said about coal. It takes a lot of trees, electricity and gasoline to produce coal. Hello? Knock knock. Anyone home? Add in helium and other gases too.

Can you believe that in some counties here in the Bay Area, a six-figure salary is considered ‘low income’? Hell, if Silicon Valley was it’s own country it would be the second richest country in the world, just behind Qatar.
So tell me why, being in such a rich part of the world surrounded by the latest technology that instantly connects you to people and resources there are kids that live on the street with no food to eat, or clean clothes to wear? Why are teachers reaching into their accounts to provide those same kids and others with tools, knowledge, wisdom, and hope to persevere and overcome these atrocious adversities? Why are communities and cultures that have been deeply rooted for generations disappearing in plain sight? Why do people live in tents and some in cardboard boxes? Why, with all the money, power, and resources at such close proximity, do “invisible communities” exist? Let’s face it, if six-figures is considered low, then the average person must be nothing.
Sustainable regenerative models have an underlying sense of belonging. If we, and willing we can, cultivate real relationships with our neighbors we can work together to create a community - a society - that is nurturing and beneficial to all.
A tree works best in a forest, not alone nor in a grove. Alone the tree can only do so much and a grove is much to similar and demanding. But a forest however is diverse and naturally connected by way of life, never taking more than than needed, but always giving more than expected. A natural ebb and flow inclusive of all in proximity and beyond.
But what do I know. I’m just a tree planting a seed among a forest that could be.

In an ideal
joy-and-happiness-society
would every person
have sufficient resources
to enable their
optimal joy and happiness?

Some time is spent for school
Some time is spent for work
Sometimes you become a tool
Sometimes you'll earn a perk
You might trade your hours for cash
You could swap a month for more
Each time you might complete a task
Your wallet could grow galore
Go buy yourself a gift worth wanting
Absence of wealth could be daunting
but steady goes the time for cash
and that lack of which - does not last
You can always earn the money back
But spending time is a one-way track.

Increase
add more
what is there
is so less.
it is endless
little still
extra need
more to feed
up to greed
no way to rid
there is a thirst
countless prayers
many faces
every day
ending with empty hands
all the resources
forces
on the toes
evolving
multiplying the lives
depleting what is left
it will end
all has been said.

you got a new idea
you want to start a new project
what's holding you back?
you have all the resources you need
you don't know how to use it
what's the point?
you need to learn your tools
you need to know the potentials of it
the more you know, the better you will get

If the day shall come
that I should forget
you and all that we've
become,
If the day shall come that
I'm senile,
Just know because of the
way you smile I'd fall all
over again,
but if it happens to cause you too much pain,
by all means, my dear, I hope you'll choose to find happiness elsewhere. You're the love of my life but if Alzheimer's should rob my memory of being your loving wife, please know I still only want you to be happy for the rest of your life.
~with love, your wife

It's better to be empty
Than full of crap
One has room
To save valuables
The other needs a broom
To save valuables!

What percentage of the time
do you lie in that bed?
the rest a waste
of the metal springs
forged by
factory workers
pouring in their
unpaid overtime
to meticulously
shape the steel
into just the right
comforting bounce
a waste
of the soft cotton cover
picked by
(slave-descended) hands
white fluff
still echoing centuries
of black oppression
spun on foreign looms
shipped back
across the seas
dyed, woven,
stretched taut
into just the right
soothing texture
a waste
of the foam stuffing
made from...
whatever goes into
foaminess...
how many hours wasted?
daily
weekly
What percentage of the time
do you write with that ballpoint pen?
the rest a waste
of the clear plastic casing
melded from petroleum
by corporations
extracting black gold
in exchange
for greenhouse gases
a waste
of the tiny perfect sphere
rolling smoothly along
tungsten carbide surface
exquisitely crafted
for maximum efficiency
by man's finest machines
factories churning out
thousands by the hour
a waste
of the bright blue ink
the mysterious mixture
of dyes and pigments
and oils and surfactants
spilling onto the page
recording your
delicate thoughts
in desperate
existential hope
they won't be as oft ignored
as that device
from which they pour forth
how many hours wasted?
monthly
yearly
What percentage of the time
do you sit in that reclining chair?
do you walk in those polished dress shoes?
do you eat with that bent spoon?
do you style your hair with that fine-toothed comb?
do you turn the pages of your favorite book?
do you see by lamp's light in the guest bedroom?
how many hours
sitting unused, wasted?
in a life

Let’s talk about life and let’s be frank
All global strife starts and ends at the bank
With fake inflation and monetized debt
It Cripples our nations, controls us through threat
Now let me be formal and you might think me mental
But free markets are normal it’s really the Central
Creation of cash at a click of a button
Valued at trash, your debt they take cut-in
War for resources innocence left in lurch
While weaving clauses to suppress free energy research
The influence is deep, insidious at best
Our lives they will reap seen as figures to invest
It’s a perfect legal sin That we do not deserve
Its the evil of Central Banking and Fractional Reserve

A business is known by all the resources it deploys
how it treats its customers with the staff it employs.

We have the wherewithal
To feed every boy and girl.
We also have the resources
To blow up half the world.
We have the extra cash
To let Congressmen roam
And also full resources
To give everybody a home.
We have plenty of money
To pay countries to like us.
Why can’t we make life
For our own people joyous?
We seem to be able to
Make death machines for all,
Why can’t we create for us
Medicine whose cost is small?
We can afford to give subsides
To the corporate welfare queens
So, why can’t we figure out how
To make functioning voting machines?
We buy stupid tripe every day in print
Why can’t we give up that crap for lent?
We hurl insults at non-Christians brothers.
It’s not possible this is what Jesus meant.
We have the wherewithal
To feed every boy and girl.
We also have the resources
To blow up half the world.

hungry for the tons of resources
that lay beneath the
ground
hungry for them and looking
to find what else can be
found
the hunger is never ending
we're consuming more and more
the hunger doesn't abate
as if there's a colossus galore
the world's population
exhausting the
endowment
the world's population
eating every crumb of
nutriment
yet the day will arrive
when our precious resources
aren't readily at hand
they'll be depleted in supply
running down to a level
that won't service demand
too hungry the population
too hungry the population

You can run out of all the richest resources on this planet
And still be rich
Because when I have something like you
I'm still very wealthy
Your soul is more than gold
Your influence will never get old
I want to grow old
With you
I want to be my thoughtfully ***** minded self with you
Maybe its normal
But I have to admit it
Or else I'd feel like I'm lying to myself when i think I'm not
I want to strike gold
By having your hand to hold

The power of resources beyond lack
Filling up every vacuum of want
What could we ever ask?
When there’s provision for what we need not yet
In Heaven’s Economy
Peace that passes understanding
Erasing the fear of depression
With enough confidence to face tomorrow
Provided through the network of faith
Heavens' Economy
Where the existence of famine is not recognized
Even the least budget is well organized
Its treasures are incorruptible
And only by faith is it accessible
Reserved for the people in His kingdom
Managed by His wisdom
Heaven’s economy, powered by God.

What if
all the species
on earth except humans
Got united and attacked us:-
For being so stupid and inhuman
For being so idiotic to destroy
our own common place of living ..
For mining our own resources
to the bottom so that nothing is left for future..
even for our future generations..
For being so cannibalistic,
for being in war, for being parasitic,
for killing our own species..
In the name of religion, caste, colour and creed
That big nations manufacture weapons
To be sold to terrorists
To **** its own people?
And then hunt the so called terrorists
Which are their own making?
What if there were no religions?
What if there were no castes?
What if there were no Gods?
What if there were no fights?
What if if there were no wars?
What if there was only peace?

I can't believe
How spoiled I am
I have a bed to sleep in
Food
Water
Clothes
Yet sometimes I want more.
Such a brat!
Thinking I deserve these things
While people who work
100,000 times harder than me
Die every day
Without the things I take for granted
Things I never even think of
Why am I alive
If I'm such a waste of resources
