Obama Oroboros

Nobody’s Opinion

Open wounds. It’s a first law of healing: You do NOT pick at the old wound. You let it heal. Pick it, and it bleeds again, and takes even longer to heal, and leaves a much bigger scar. Keep picking at it and it will never heal.

It’s a fact, not only in the physical human body, but also in the psychological part of the human soul. The mind has a wonderful mechanism, it forgets the most painful moments in its life.

Agatha Christie, (the great mystery writer) once totally forgot about 10 days of her life. She got in a car, in a deep despairing moment, and just left the car on the side of the road and walked away. Later she said she did not remember a thing she did during those 10 days.

I too had about 3 days in my life that I have no memory of whatsoever. There was a painful event, and I just had trouble coping with reality. I remember getting off a from a plane coming back from New York, but that’s about it. And no, it was not due to drugs or alcohol, I just closed up.

Like a computer that shuts down due to a power outage, a brain can completely shut off to survive. It’s healing itself. Really remarkable when you think about it.

And now, we have a President who will not allow the nation to heal.

Our President, obviously lashing out in his own pain, and for his own gain, has decided to pick the American wound of hatred, prejudice, and racism, and bring back the bloody memories of our ancestors. He is determined to NOT let the old racial hatred that blacks and whites have for each other heal.

Obama’s words are not only repulsive, they are sadistic.

It’s like the symbol called the Oroboros: the snake eats its own tail. The symbol has been around since the Egyptians, and has been used all over the world, no doubt because real snakes have been known to do this, swallow their own tail. And to me it’s a PERFECT symbol for Obama.

Pretend that Obama, is the snake. (Not hard.)

That circle around his symbolic big O, should be a snake, because who else but a snake would destroy his own country? Who else but a snake would FORCE a country into riots and hatred and therefore cause further economic destruction? He is refusing to let us heal from our past— heal from sins committed by another generation…crimes not even committed by those living now.

What do YOU see when you see that symbol? I see a snake basically eating itself to it’s own final death. I see suicide.

In historical terms the Oroboros means renewal, death and rebirth, but what kind of rebirth are we talking about? A black President is COMPLAINING about how America is raciest—- picking old wounds, stabbing words of deep resentment into people that are simply trying to survive. To me that means that Obama did not really win the election, and he knows it. If America is a racist as Obama claims, he would not be in the White House—so in a way, he just admitted the election was rigged.

And all last week, we talked about the poor black man Eric Garner.

Was he “choked” to death by that police man? Was he dead before they picked him up in the ambulance? Was this a racial act? Even his wife says it wasn’t because he was black. As you watch the video, the cops are trying very hard not to hurt the guy, and that man who was choking him, was NOT pulling on his vocal chords because Eric was still talking. I’ve heard reports that he died in the ambulance on the way to the hospital.

He was in really bad shape, a heart attack ready to happen. BUT…everyone knows that he certainly didn’t need to be arrested for selling a cigarette. A ticket would have sufficed.

Rush Limbaugh pointed out the fact that it wasn’t the choke hold that killed him, but the stupid law that says people can be harassed for just about anything by the police, and the high cigarette taxes were really the death of the man.

What happened to Garners was not much different than what happened to the Tea Party people who were hunted down and harassed by the IRS…albeit a symbolic chokehold. Both symbolic of a government out of control.

When Obama picks at the bloody wound of race, all his black basketball players and football players pick at it too. And then the blacks and whites stop being nice to each other, in their cars, standing in lines, in everyday encounters, all because the black man in the White House..is basically a snake.

Obama ONCE again, is not blamed:

Arianna Huffington summed it up this way:

The problem is how to fix a broken justice system that has, for obvious reasons, lost the trust of much of our country. The first step is translating people’s anger into political action to reassert accountability and put justice back into the justice system. BlackLivesMatter

(Do they matter enough to stop killing each other?)

So the Oroboros starts all over again….government causes poverty in the inner cities, therefore the police force becomes more militarized, and the people lose more and more of their rights, causing anarchy, and therefore the government must come in with more power, and more rights are lost, and it’s just a vicious circle of cause and effect, with no beginning and no end to the poverty, the lies, the destruction of America.

We saw it happen in Detroit. We saw it happen in Oakland. And now, we are watching it happen all over again, in Ferguson, and all across the country.

We are eating ourselves.

Oroboros.

The only way to stop it is to cut off the head of the snake—-Before he devours us all.

By the way, I dreamt about the Oroboros (Although I didn’t know at the time what it was called,) when I was just 19 and going to college. I was taking a poetry class, having trouble deciding what to write, and so, I was woken from a dream in the middle of the afternoon, with a splitting headache, by the sound of my mother vacuuming.

I wrote down the dream: (Yes, it did have three parts, sorry I’m still weird.) Enjoy! Or not. (LOL!)

A Dream of Disease Or How to Succeed in Dying Without Really Trying.

In slow motion

Two Gigantic Grasshoppers

Swordfight in a Black Bubbling pot.

Two Musketeers

In high waisted military jackets of green,

And silver sheen in eye and sword,

Taking pleasure in being put there

By the man in the chair

Watching,

Unsuspecting as I.

 

But then, he leaped

And crammed himself down the man’s throat,

Like garbage down a broken disposal.

 

Bowed legs,

Spastic,

They grouped and joined man’s

Circle of green and blur

Man eats himself.

Semen oozes.

 

Tammy runs

And I lecture her on the lessons of watching

While puke pours down my hands.

But,

This was not the worst.

II

Tornado picks up house

Of me and the 95the battalion

As I look down

At the perfect green squares

I know I will be dead.

Everywhere there are

Soldiers and slings and screams,

Interns in white,

Soaked in blood,

Wheelchairs, and ambulances, and mud.

Man grits as leg is carefully sawed off.

 

I lay on my side as if asleep.

Not a scratch.

He sits besides me

Looking at the floor, head in hands.

Everyone knows

I am gone.

But the veteran’s march on.

Nor this.

III

Doctor of learning

He looked the same

Pipe in hand, feet on desk,

Confident,

Our eyes met.

But the angelic voice that had once split atoms

Was not heard,

Woman of Independence and endings

Man who believed in revenge

 

So I brought it.

Discipline and work and eight years.

I gently nudged the boy forward.

“This is your father.”

“This is your son.”

 

This was.

I awoke

Head in hands

Ran a year in ten seconds flat

Tried

Knowing that doctors do not come in small doses

Just me
