I Don’t Believe In The Voting Process 

​A friend recently asked me who I’m voting for.

This was and will always be my reply:

I don’t believe in the voting process. Why? The system has been corrupt for the past 60 years and will continue to be corrupt so long as the big corporations/conglomerates keep lining the pockets of politicians in order to get huge tax breaks and other financial incentives. Our government is no longer for the people but rather for those who are filthy stinking rich. I know it sounds like a pretty pessimistic outlook, it took me a while to accept such a notion, but to me it is hands down one hundred percent true. Most politicians are bullshit artists who promise the moon but ultimately settle for a clump of contaminated dirt. Yet, people still like to put all of their hopes into one particular person or group because that’s what society is used to. But that’s how tyrants are created. History repeats itself mostly because the average individual is too stubborn to examine existence. I could ramble on and on but it won’t matter much because people won’t change unless forced to change. True change must first come from within. ☺

Recording Process 

​I’ve been busy these past couple of weeks recording new songs with my band Revolt. Our singer got a bunch of new recording gear and software. So, since then we’ve been familiarizing ourselves with every aspect of the recording process. It’s definitely a very lengthy process that requires a lot of patience. I had to rerecord my guitar tracks three times, our drummer had to rerecord twice, our bassist also had to rerecord twice. But now finally everything is coming together! Our singer just started recording his vocal tracks yesterday. After that, it’s just a matter of mixing and mastering everything. We hope to have a new single ready for release in another two weeks, maybe sooner.
In other news, I’ve also been writing and recording more of my own music/spoken word poetry for future solo albums. I finished recording and mixing 11 new tracks last night. My latest album will be titled Zero Plague and will be available on bandcamp.com later today.

Listen Up!

Listen Up!
None of us
Are perfect
We know this
None of us
Are able
To please
Everyone
All the time
We know this!
But for some reason
That doesn’t
Stop us
From pushing
And shoving
Each other
Into very
Limited
States of Being
States of existence
We’re all
Capable of
Cultivating
Tremendous amounts
Of
Love
And Compassion
Yet too often
We
Choose
To cultivate
Hate
Fear
And Prejudice
So what if
Someone
Doesn’t believe
In the same
Stuff
That you believe in!
So what if
Another immigrant
Wants to cross the border
In order to
Create a
Better life
For himself
And his family
So what if
Mr. So and So
Wants to
Become
Mrs. So and So
Why does it matter to you?
Does it really
Throw off
Your
Day to day
Routine?
We all have
Our own
Paths
To follow
Our own
Lives
To Live
It’s our differences
That make us
Such a unique
And diverse
Civilization
We can’t all
Be the same
We can’t all
Be the same
It’s not
Gonna’ happen
No matter
How many
Wars we
Wage
Or
Lives
We take
It’s not gonna’
Happen
Perhaps what we need
Is a Wake Up call
Scratch that —
Seven Billion
Wake up calls
Or
However many
It takes
For us
To realize
We all Occupy
The same
Planet
Within
The same
Solar system
Within
The same
Galaxy
Within
The same
Awesome
Universe
I know that what
I’m saying
Has been said
Before
But it still needs
To Be Said
It MUST
Be Said
It MUST
Be Absorbed
Absorbed and
Digested
Over
And
Over
And
Over
And
Over
I refuse
Refuse
To believe that
We Human Beings
Are “Doomed”
Sure
Destruction
Is in our nature
But so is
Creation
And creation
Is
Much more
Powerful
And
All encompassing
So, it only makes sense
To focus on
Creating
A more
Positive
And
Enlightened
Reality
There’s nothing holding
Us back
We are the heroes
Depicted
In all
Those movies
We are the forgers
Of our own
Destiny
We are the
Saviors
We’ve been
Waiting for
We
Are
It
We
Are
One
We
Are
One
WE ARE ONE
