"Shut Up and Ride"

Shut up and ride, I was told by an older brother in 1954, going down the road in his 54, blue and white two door coupe, Bel Air, made by Chevy. Didn't realize at the "Time", that pretty much summed up life. How truly little control we have over our own live's, how many decision you make, based on what's at hand. You get up in the morning, put on your clothes, but the colors and styles were decided by someone on Madison Avenue, you only had a chose of witch one you liked. You had no influence on any of it, a clone to the system. Sit down for breakfast, you'll eat what Madison Avenue said would be on the selves at the store. What ever type or mode of transportation you use to get to work, pasted through Madison Avenue. You work all week, make your money, watch some TV in the evenings, so you'll know how to spend you extra cash on the week ends, that's you in the mall, Madison Avenue. A life of consumption of stuff you don't need, look in your closet's. Read some were that all the car's of the World are designed in "California", German engineering, southern "California" dreaming in design. "America" is the very best, no mater how corrupt Bush and Cheney are, the rest of the World Love's "America", people and art. Murphy's Law, is shut up and ride, what can go wrong, will go wrong, Yen Yang. Best laid plan's by men and mice, all this old phrases that have been around hundreds of years describe it well. Speaking of old wise or wife's tales, they all should be brought back and re-examined, like "Popi" and "Olive Oil", we all eat spinach and use olive oil more now. All this great tales of knowledge told as poem's, so children could remember them, just brilliant. The system we live in now, does it's best to make sure the good from the past stays hidden, to make sure the money flows in the right direction. Trying to control every aspect of your health, more and more regulations, what happened to the land of the free. You should be free to live your life with out regulations, it's your trip thru this "Space and Time", not the government's, damn. A constant reminder of shut up and ride. Government gives tobacco growers subsides, then tell us not to smoke, where do I just fit in here. A some point and "Time", something has to change or is it all out of control now, the people are fractionalized now, totally under control. Separate them, so they don't organize, separate the smart one's from the crowd, in "Mexico" culture, their killed off, macho. Told one of my "Marian" friends that, if they had dropped us off in "Mexico", we would all ready be dead. We collectively ride thru life puzzled by the ending, who's got a leg up on any one any way. Heard Billy Graham was having problems with what he told people all those years knowing he didn't know. Caught in the moment of fame, never really having a firm base to talk from, "Christianity" being faith based, no stone. Life can be a hoot, but in the end, we all have to square up with someone, some where, no free lunches. You can take, take ,take but sooner or later, it wil be "Time" to give,give,give back. Back to were we started, "Shut Up and Ride". bye PS Why I call myself a "Marsian", had finished wireing a gas station on the rez, a "Pima" lady that was working their asked her white female boss why I acted the way I do, she told her, he's scared to death that people will find out about him and his "Marsian" friend's. She didn't know I didn't have a birth certificate. Went to my kid's and said sounds good to me, can't prove it's not true, all agreed until further notice, F. something slips, tend to put more faith in them the older I get.
