No political solution today? Political maneuvers and government got you on the down side or even angry? Is this a unique time? Perhaps we are more than our political views. Let me try some song lyrics from an album released in 1981 by The Police. Sting actually sung the lyrics which also has a snappy ring to it. Stinging by the Police; consider our problems real (and perceived) about the “real” Po-Po-Police today– can you say “Hands Up”. Now with the song, Spirits in the Material World.
“There is no political solution
To our troubled evolution
Have no faith in constitution
There is no bloody revolution
We are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Our so-called leaders speak
With words they try to jail you
They subjugate the meek
But it’s the rhetoric of failure
We are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Where does the answer lie?
Living from day to day
If it’s something we can’t buy
There must be another way
We are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world”
OK, by the way the song is from the album–Ghost in the Machine. Hmm, Ghost in the Machine, subjugate the meek, no political solution, no faith in Constitution (capitalization mine), bloody revolution. This sounds like right now; is there an answer? Perhaps, the song gives one: “Living from day to day, if it’s something we can’t buy, there must be another way” because “we are spirits in the material world.”
So today I will be less political, and try to live in spirit in this material world. Peace.
