On Honoring One's Debt

(Aka On Forgetting)

So, you are
            18.3
   trillion -
  TRILLION -
     dollars
In debt.
                How 
 do you figure
   that you are
                ever
              going 
      to be able
             to pay
             for it?
                 By
            funny
         money??

('I owe you only
                      ten
Dollars.'  
      'But it's only
                 worth
               five
           dollars
        now
 and counting.'
              'Sorry.
  That's your
   problem.  Not
  mine.'
               Sweet.
           Until
          the day
 of reckoning
           comes
   anyway.)

                   Or
By borrowing
               more
          and yet
              more
            on top
            of that?
         What is
     known as
  monetizing
      the debt.
        Paying 
       debt off
    with debt…
You do know
               what 
             that is,
       don't you?
         Besides
             crazy?
      it's called
                    a 
            Ponzi
        scheme.
        You are,
              then,
      the same
                  as
      criminals.

                It is
       a shame.
                It is
             more
      than that.
               It is
         shame
                 ful.
        With no
           ability
             ever
          to pay
             your
             debt
                off
       except
       to sell
Your country
To others -
             land,
Resources,
            other
Assets - the 
         works.

       Planned
                  by
      long-time
         experts
                   in
Such matters...

              You
         foolish
         foolish
         people.
     You sold
      out
The country
    you were
          given
                as
               an
Inheritance
               by
  honorable
        people
             who
      scraped
  and saved
        for you -
      and yes,
    engaged
   in slavery
        for you
              too;
              not
     to forget
             that
    shameful
      episode
          in this
     country's
     life.
    And now
             you
             are
 the slaves.

  Welcome
               to
           your
           new
   home,
       owned
               by
        China
        & Co.
           
           You
         have
         been
        owned
             by
    experts
             in
           the
         field
         and
         you
Acquiesced
            to
        your
        own
   demise.
           As
              I
        said:
        You
   foolish
   people.
   
             Why
      should I
                 or
       anyone
                for
  that matter
    save you
            from
yourselves?
      Are you
      worth it??
     You are
         worth
  nothing
            now.
           Only
           your
         souls
             are.
        That's
 something
                at
           least.

            And
            at
            last.

   At least
  something
  has been
  gotten
  out of
  it. 
       'It':
    this great 
    experiment
    in
    complete
    freedom
    without
    meaning
          except
          for
         just
         in
        and
        for
        itself
        only.

      Some
accomplishment,
           eh?

      …having
      forgotten
      your
       roots
                in
           heaven.

       --

            Your
            Way
 is just high-
          stakes
    gambling
   with other
  people's lives
         which are
                   and
             what is
            at stake,
                   not
                  just
        your own.
                Take
                 your
        gambling
                table
          with you
            as you
              leave
        the room
                to
       us adults
       now
         who
         have
         better
         work
         to do;
             Including
             cleaning
             up
             from
             the mess
             that
             you
         have made

       and are not
                 going
            to be
         allowed
           to go
              any
                further
                   with
                       it.
    Too much
     of real worth
     is at stake
     now:

     the whole
     cosmos
        (the physical
                      level
                  thereof
               at least).
                       Not
      to be subject
                       to
    your gambling
    instinct
                     any
    longer,*
                 where far
    too much
                is
    at
   stake
       than to allow
       you puny
       hybrid
       creations
       of lesser
       gods
       to rule
       any further
       than your own
       fledgling
       nest.

Give it
A rest
And join
The real
Creations
Capable
Of flight:
               your
          Higher
          Selves

 than the vessels
  that you occupy
        momentarily

      for
      lesson
      learning
         including
         this
         one:
                  of
    obedience.

     I admit
     to anger.
     Consider
             your
         selves
     scourged

      particularly
                  for
     selling out
                  my
          country
                   so
         cheaply
         to
         the
         highest
         bidder
         at
          a
            fire
              sale.
        What
        a waste
        of energy.
               Please
        remember
        your
        legacy
        after
        this
        lesson
        lands.
        With
         a
             bump.

And that's all
I'm going
To say
To it
For now.
I'll get
A round
         tuit
Tomorrow
              or
    the next
    day
Again.
             For
There is
          more
To say
To it
Still.
Stay
    tuned
    in.

(It's the same
 with letting
 the former
 head
 of a lobby
 company
 to a
 particular
 industry
 becoming
 the head
              of
            the
 government
 bureaucracy
 supposedly
 regulating
 it.
       It's
 disgusting.
I speak of
 the FCC.
And the same
       for
       the
       FDA
       and
       the
       CDC
       and
       so forth.
               As
        I say:
             you
        foolish
        foolish
        people.
        When
      are you
      going
  to get some
  smarts???
   Out of
   your head
   and into
   your heart
           is not
   enough.
   You also
    have to
    have
    the Right
    Stuff
    to fly
    the skies
    that we
    are
    about
    to
    take off
    into.
    But
    your
    choice.
    As
    always.)


* from the very
        beginning
                    (or
             almost)
         when you
    gambled that
          your Way
         was better
           than that
               of your
              Creator
