"THE SIGNS, THEY ARE A CHANGING" (opus 1 in D minor)

I love the key of D minor. It conjures up a since of foreboding, tugs at the nerve endings of doom and gloom. Puts you in a state of depression. Ah.... music, the outward visible form of sharing personal inner emotions with others. A conduit to ones inner self that can be transmitted to the rest of humanity. Ever just sit around slurpin on a bruski and doing a joint ( called pissin in the wind) and listening to some Pink Floyd? Ya right you say....and the check is in the mail,... ya, but I didn't inhale!..... Anyway what does this have to do with anything? Well probably everything. Look around at the situation that the world is in today. Not very humanistic in a humanintarian sort of way. We seem to be on the negative side of life, the black side, the underside, the reverse side, the evil parallel universe,... you get the meaning. Let me pose a question to you? Why is it easier to kick our neighbor when he is down, than it is to offer him a hand up? Why does the nature of the beast always take the side opposite the side that will benefit and enhance our short stay here on earth? Why is it easier to do evil than to do good? Why is it so difficult for those intrusted with our well being to look after our interest instead of the interest of those that really don't need looking after? Somewhere along the way humanity got on the wrong path. Maybe we as a people are inherently evil? Maybe it is a lingering trait from our pre history days when we were in a strictly survival mode against the forces around us. The era when it was either him or me that would survive. Actually that is a pretty lame excuse today. We have evolved to a point where we realize that in order for us to survive everyone has to survive. So..... what the hell has all this gibberish got to do with anything? I think the point I am trying to bring to the forefront in this blog is that there has to be some drastic changes made in our perception of what is important and what is merely survival mode thinking. Stop for a moment (take another toke and a sip) and look at where we are. The laws of the land seem to favor the few, at the expense of the many (Spock... Star Trek ) Just a little side trip here... a great number of cultures and religions, in their teachings, forecast in the year 2012 ( only 6 years away) the "World as we know it will no longer exist" I would surmise that they are talking about the demise of a wampom based system of existence. Wouldn't that be great! But knowing the forces that are dictating our lives and influencing our elected officials it would take a global disaster to bring us from a D minor existence to a C Sharp existence. What do you think?
