In this world there is Culture, diversity, divide, love and hate, but too many people concentrate on what lies they can tell, and what stories they can use to their advantage. Politics has played a big part in overblown incidents, allegations, lies, and deceit, to suit their own agendas. America has been a target, a scapegoat, and joke, to what end, who knows the answer. False Gods, false friends, False officials and even false diseases, the Bible speaks of Locusts the size of a horse with the head of a man, and a great ****, and beasts of the Land and sea, that rise to cause terror, and rumors of war and wars. Of course, to most of us that is Metaphors of what is real or unreal, whichever way you perceive it or believe.
People say if you do not learn from history then you are doomed to repeat it, and there is some that like repeating history because they have something to gain, but what, who gains from lies, or war or chaos. Chaos was a Mythical character in Ancient Greece that was unleashed, a monster, a creature so horrible that the person that let him loose was so blinded by what he told him, he lost all common sense, and the horror began before he could stop it a lot like Pandora opening the box and letting all the evils of the world loose. Words can be like a dagger so caustic, malicious or beguine, people don't think before they speak sometimes. In these recent years words have become forbidden, unused, and changed into another meaning, new words added to dictionary's that are just plain idiotic. Growing up we said Vacation, no Vacay, or Staycation, these are stupid words made up by a society of people that don't have a clue. Society is using the past, to erase history and historical events and using it in such a way, that ignorance has become the new normal. Nations using lies to conqueror and control society, one world order, so they say, well Dystopian societies have never survived and never will, just look to Mythology, the past and event current cultural people. Take a Kabots for example, a Kabots in Israel is a group of people living and working together, in a commune, which the word community and communist are closely tied, one might sew, one might farm, one milks the cow, ect, but they all reap what they sow, if you do your part, you live well. True communism is based on this lifestyle, Karl Marx was a father of communism, his ideas would have worked, however when you get a few bad apples it ruins the whole Barrell, and uprising, and war, takes place, and a dictatorship begins. Men of the past, had Ideas and Ideals, some were evil, and some were acceptable, but when fear and doubt, and mistrust plays into it no Utopian world can exist. Songwriters, Poets and writers for centuries have written thoughts from stone to paper, from cave drawings to modern typing, thinking and interpretation has become part of the human being. Communication through expression, dance, music, film and meditation has become part of societies interaction. We choose what tune we dance to, what form of self-expression we use, and how we put it out there. But somewhere along the way, the world has used these things for the wrong reasons, or greed, or their own agenda, whether they be a king, a commoner, or political leader. Whether they are a doctor, a lawyer, a actor, or singer, no one is free from the guilt of power, or wanting power, and the misuse of it. Two Hundred years ago, people came to America, as immigrants, through a place called Ellis Island, The Irish, The Dutch, Italians, Polish, Jews, Germans, and many other nationalities, they came to America with one common goal, to become a citizen and work, and have a good life, whether they were escaping poverty or persecution in their own land, only their descendants can tell you that. Hundreds of years before that, Spaniards, Portuguese and Dutch came to the Americas, they found people, but their DNA tells us they weren't even indigenous to these lands, they were indigenous of China and Asia minor. Society Tends to gloss over the real history, the real stories, does anyone ever take the time to really dig at the truth, to find those that overcame their obstacles because of their race, creed or color. Historians have left out the real meaning of finding the truth and the reality of the past. True the past and timelines in history was not always nice, or happy. However, there are two sides to every story and the lives of past people scream out from their graves to speak the truth. WE can embrace diversity without it being thrown into everyone's faces, or constantly being reminded of the wrongs that happened to certain people. Because there is not only one race that has suffered, if you think about it all races, have been or was a slave, a driven-out people, a hated people by one culture or another, there is not one race in this world, that can stay they were always free. Even white cannot say they are totally white, black cannot say they are totally black, and the list goes on and on. People have denied being Jewish, people have denied being black, or white, or even Spanish, why? that is the age-old question. Gypsies were driven out of parts of Europe over the centuries, why because they are different, they dressed different, and believed different, the word Gypsy means traveler, wanderer, living as a family, dancing and singing, like most cultures has their version of Gypsies, Spain, Portugal, Romania, ect. Some people today like to call themselves Gypsies or they take offense and call it racists, thing is it's not a racist word, like Chinese, or Asian nothing racist about it or Latino or Mexican, Black or white, its ignorance to perceive it as anything more than what it is, not a label, its heritage, its what makes diversity, so the societies and people that has made these words forbidden or changing its meaning, are the poison pens, the dregs of society they neither realize the chaos they have caused and they are too ignorant to recognize the real truth or their just plain greedy for some farfetched agenda. Like the Locusts mentioned in the bible, and the monsters, those that create chaos, and discord, are the demons of this earth, and cannot hear the music of the dancing Gypsy, the melody that rings beyond the sea, or stars, they cannot see the Forest beyond the trees, and they will continue to curse the darkness before lighting a candle. Let's hope that one day these poor ignorant souls will understand, that lies, and deceit only causes harm, and a sharp lying tongue will only dig their grave. WE can be the dancing Gypsy and move through live with a gentle wind, love ourselves and each other, or we can drag our feet through the muck and mud, its our choice to look at the right side of the coin. And may the dancing Gypsy live in every man, woman and child's hearts.
