the cat and the canary (or mouse)

the advantages of being the cat...

the cat can dominate the space of a smaller animal such a a canary or a mouse and then needs to do nothing more than wait for the canary or mouse to get used to the limits and lack of freedom and make a mistake allowing the cat to pounce, to react, and therein leaving canary or mouse to run or fly in circles (or into walls) in panic mode wondering what he or she did wrong... that is why the cat can smile as it does, for it just does what a cat does, trap, wait, pounce, and the poor canary or mouse just appears foolish and helpless for being such easy prey...

the secret to escape for the canary or mouse is patience... the cat can become just as complacent, it just takes longer but in that time the canary or mouse can identify escape paths that the cat cannot reach and then, in time, use one of those paths when two conditions are met - the canary is truly ready to reach the safe zone AND the cat is away for sufficient time to allow the entire journey to the safe zone to be completed without interference...

patience is the essential tool and skill that must be mastered for this escape... and the canary must remember that the cat is already a master of patience for cats are lazy by nature and quite conditioned to set traps and wait for their prey to forget it is trapped and tired of the limits...

in many ways humanity is playing this cat and canary (or mouse) game as there are a few cats in charge with most of the wealth and power keeping billions of canaries (or mice) trapped in daily routines that allow very limited thought or intimacy or creativity or freedom (and we call it the work ethic, another name for poverty, another name for the trap)...

and in the bigger picture, nature is the cat and humanity is the canary (or mouse) trapped in this limited existence called life on earth and humans rush through life trying to escape from natural limits while nature waits patiently for humans to make that one mistake that ends human existence...

make today a patient day :)

will the human who is not a sick control freak please stand up

but blinded by their fear, they do not see and worse, they expect everyone else to see their fear as the only way to see, their way as the only way to be... from the grand master plans of religious zealots to the singular psychosis of a mass murderer to the singular neurosis of an individual obsessive compulsive person to the collective suicidal insanity of the seriously delusional human race, their fear is death to life...

oh, is that a pineapple in your lap?

normal like them

it is a memory thing
how much did you forget
how much did you change in your mind
how much do you regret
how many brain cells have died
you may not want to know
most people live in denial
are you normal like them?

it is a memory thing
do you remember who you are
how many times have to redefined yourself
have you admitted it yet
how many times have you lied
you may not want to know
most people live in lies
are you normal like them?

oh it would be so easy to say
nevermind
nobody wants to be challenged like this
what fool would think this would be
a way to sell a song
if this sells then you may like a devil's kiss

it is a memory thing
how much did you forget
how much god is left in your mind
how much did you sublet
how many ways have you justified
you may not want to know
most people leave god behind
are you normal like them?

it is a memory thing
do you remember who god is
you were once part of everything
and now you are part of the fizz
in the human soft drink industry
you may not want to know
most people live in mystery
are you normal like them?

oh it would be so easy to say
nevermind
just go to your house of praye and make amends
what fool would think that this would be
a popular song
is this is cruel then you may be one who pretends
that you have more important things to think about
like stock prices and coffee blends
cuz in the end it may be more important to be right
and what is right
to be normal like them?
what is right is to be normal like them
