Micky vs the Volcano- and the God of "Xs" and "Os"!

Micky vs the Volcano
I’m sure most have figured out that I am against the status quo that runs everything.
I’ve railed against the dragons and there’s nothing to be done.
The emperor is completely naked but everyone seems to be holding “his” trousers.
I want my volcano.
Nobody leaves here intact.
Descending curves on treacherous roads leaves me with the ever increasing desire to take the curves on my terms.
I don’t want to wait until the curve demands that I conform to the arc that it imposes.
I need and want to make the curve on my terms. I want to control me and my power and my speed and my arc.
I don’t want the arc that is before me.
I will carve that arc- my way.
God and/or a paving crew can make that road and that curve.
Don’t expect me to take “that” line.
I will take that curve on my terms.
It isn’t my road.
It is my handle-bar though.
I don’t want industrial strength confirmation about how I am or what I’ve been.
My own words don’t define me.
But I am not here to “conform”.
Just as sure as industrial conformity will label and define me with a eulogy ahead of my death, I will not conform.
I saw Randall Bunch score a touchdown when I was in elementary school. The crowd applauded. He was just one of the brothers who would be running backs. He would later go to Ole Miss. He would later play Semi-Pro football, walk out of that arena and get into a dirt-track race car and star in that arena, all in the same night. But the crowd yelled and applauded.
I wanted that applause.
I was never deserving of that applause.
Now I wonder what all the applause was about.
But I leapt into a volcano much like I learned to swim. I dove into football at 98 pounds. In my 8th grade, I played high-school ball. We won the Lower State Championship. I had nothing to do with it. In my 9th grade I played football. We won the State Championship. I had nothing to do with our success. In the 10th grade, I played this football. We won the Lower State Championship. I had nothing to do with the success of the football team.
Even as a junior and senior, I was just not good enough to make a difference. But I stuck to it with nothing but guts.
My body would never be as long, tall, or as strong as Randall Bunch or his very talented brothers.
But, I’ve done far more than score a touchdown or two or twenty.
I wasn’t fast or strong. So I naturally went into the Marine Corps. (?)
The Vietnam War was the big volcano. And how do “we” survive? And how do others not?
After enrolling myself into the “Micky Dee Lifetime Recovery Program” I started jumping into more volcanos.
Like 50 Caliber with tats, motorcycles, and fire-arms, I would find my ways to prove myself. We need to be men. Still- it should be with moral acceptance.
We need to know that what we have done is not trivial.
We need reinforcement that we have done the right things for the right reasons.
We were counted and measured and we will not come up short.
But Earth is round and not a level playing field.
What we saw people cheering for, decades ago, doesn’t seem to exist now.
But inside we are what we were. And what we did was not trivial. We’ve seen the aftermath, the accounting for the “volcano”.
2,000,000 people dead.
Adjust that number with “algorithms” to find the number of casualties?
2,000,000 people multiplied by an unknown figure equals what?
2,000,000 people x ? = people
A x B= X
People equal “X”
Our side had a fraction of the over-all loss of “X”.
50000/2000000 = 5/200
.0025% of the “Xs” lost in Vietnam were ours.
Our side erased 2,000,000 “”Xs”.
Numbers are just another game.
Exact figures don’t really matter do they?
Could have been another 20,000 of our “Xs”.
Could have been more “Xs” on the other side.
It boggles my mind how even an industrialized nation can continually toss bombs, guns, and ammo all over the world as it does.
How much noise, bullets, bombs, and poisons can you throw to accumulate this many eradicated “Xs”? It’s a lot.
But the ruined lives don’t stop with the eradicated.
War keeps right on giving.
We watch Cambodia suffer with their millions of “Xs”.
We watch Yugoslavia suffer with their millions of “Xs”.
We watch as Palestine is erased from the maps with all of the Palestine “Xs”.
We watch as the world churns and burns.
And we are so thankful that God is on our side.
God is on our side.
God is on our side?
So we are the good guys and our white hats are always white.
So God hates those who are against us.
What about the innocent civilians who just work and pray and suffer all the dignities of life plus the addition of “Xs” being eradicated?
Co-lateral damage will be the title of those “Xs”.
Those “Xs” were never like our “Xs”.
Surely God loves our “Xs” more than all the other “Xs”.
Look at the statistics of “Xs”!
Our “Xs” are so outnumbered and yet with our science, industrialization, and weaponry we can reduce the “Xs” that are not our “Xs”.
God surely loves our “Xs”.
God must be pleased with the spires and steeples that reach up to Him.
God must like our wooden pews.
God must love our joyful noise over all the other joyful noises.
God has to love the stained glass windows of so many colors.
It’s amazing how God can sort out what is best for all of us.
Even here in our land of free “Xs” God can put us all where we need to be.
Some “Xs” here live in palaces with old oaks and new Bradford pear trees. Some walk on cement walkways that take them, only, by the homes of other “Xs” who are the same “Xs”. These better “Xs” live here. These “Xs” have newer, safer, more fortified homes, cars. These “Xs” will be coddled, pampered, treated for diseases, injuries, dental problems, and all other maladies. We need the cement for those “Xs” with nowhere to go. The “Xs”, with nowhere to go, still have their “issues”. The very nature and weight of being the elite “X” leads to all sorts of neuroses.
But this does not imply that these “Xs” have nowhere to go. There will be ski slopes, stadiums, plays, operas, galas. France is lovely this time of year.
These “Xs” are chosen to rule the “Xs” who are not “chosen”.
This leaves the “un-chosen “Xs”.
These “Xs” can be eliminated. These “Xs” are bred for the menial tasks that are needed for the “elite” “Xs” who govern. These are the sturdy stock of “Xs” who will build those homes, sidewalks, cars, and these “Xs” will build those bombs and guns that will be used on the other “Xs” who are not the “Xs” of the elite. They don’t need sidewalks as they walk through rain and mud. If cement were used to make sidewalks for the multitudes of “Xs” where would we be going?
It is the nature for most “Xs” to walk in mud.
These “un-chosen “Xs” are bred for many tasks but none better than to carry out the endless war against the other “un-wanted “Xs” of the world.
These poor “Xs” aren’t “Xs” at all.
They’re “Os”.
The God Of “Xs’ And “Os”!
So it’s just a world of “Xs” and “Os”.
Full of vexes and woes,
Walking on paths where no-one knows,
How it all ends or where it all goes.
Come on play ball,
Join the pros!
Attend the ballet or other shows.
Watch as all the pretty girls pose.
You always seem to be indisposed,
But I can see the choices that you chose.
And secrets that you’ll never expose,
You and your God are wearing no clothes.
Shove bamboo up my fingernails,
And please up my nose.
I will not worship,
A God of “Xs” and “Os”.
Waterboard me,
Beat me with a rubber hose.
I will not worship a God,
Of “Xs” and “Os”.
Just like my brothers,
Shadrack, Meshack, and Abednego,
I will not worship a God,
Of “Xs” and “Os”.
I will forever oppose,
These endless wars you propose,
Break my legs- I’ll never kneel.
To a God of “Xs” and “Os”
Your arrogance shows.
Take me to your leader,
As the story goes,
But I can see you without your clothes.
And I will NEVER bow down to a God of “Xs” and “Os”.
~Micky Dee~
And yes! We all need this money.
We just don't GREED this money.
If a nation cannot take care of its people - that nation is merely a cult.
Civilization implies "civility".
Health-care should be a "given" in a nation claiming to be civilized and Christian.
There can be no debate about whether we "can afford it".
We cannot afford to NOT HAVE IT!
I know exactly what Jesus was about and every true follower of Christ does too.
And so I search for my volcano.
I want my volcano!
I want to sacrifice Micky Dee- somewhere - for some good cause!
I am sick to my colon with people who will take the Christian faith- and tell these Christians that we cannot afford health-care.
When you hear this Americans- tell these people that they are the liars they are!
They can build all the bombs they want. They can bail out every lower form of life locked into Satan's matrix of slavery, sweatshops, death, and torture - but CHARITY is out of the question~! We can't afford it.
This is SATAN speaking. It's the "I can't be human". It's the "I will not love my fellow man". It's the "I cannot treat others as people and my fellow man."
These liars will tell Christians that it will "tax" them too much.
WHAT IS JESUS?
Americans need to quit following these "we can'ts"
There is no nobler purpose than serving our fellow man and treating the wounds of life!
It's GOD'S LAW!
I adhere to the Golden Rule as much as I can as I ramble around the lies that choke the people of our Earth and yes our America and yes, our Central America, and yes, our South America and our...
And my critics from Hades tell me I'm angry.
I may do a crossword puzzle.
I may feed and take pictures of wildlife.
I may ride my bicycle.
I may give someone begging for alms some federal reserve notes
I may look up facts.
I may search diligently for the truth.
I may write an article for mankind.
But if I seem angry about lies that I see that cause HUMAN SUFFERING-
Put me down as PISSED! I'll live with it.
Put me down as disgusted.
This is not Micky Dee's game plan.
I don't have one.
I'm waiting on GOD to take me out of here.
I'm sick of the lying noise coming out of politicians and party liners.
It's just NOISE POLLUTION!
These die-hard party FREAKS are lying to you when they say we cannot afford to take care of OUR PEOPLE.
So find Micky Dee a purpose. Find me a volcano that I can jump into.
I am ready to go. I want to live a life of purpose.
Or I want to die for a purpose.
So attack me for my impractical stance on the GOLDEN RULE!
Destroy my name. Discredit Micky Dee.
But I will put my butt where my mouth is on any subject or cause.
Find me a volcano - give me a last meal or not - give me a cigarette or not.
Where can I go to settle "just the lies" told about Micky Dee?
Not on this ball of lies.
But God said to pray that Lord's Prayer. "...Thy kingdom come - Thy will be done - on YOUR EARTH my dear God!
AND WHEN CHRISTIANS PRAY THAT PRAYER AS THEY ARE TOLD TO DO - we are praying that Earth resembles HEAVEN!
These liars are implying that in heaven - GOD DOES NOT TAKE CARE OF HIS OWN!
We're being CONNED!
Meanwhile -
Cross Florida is 168 miles in one day and I'll be doing that ride on April 3. Maybe that's enough volcano.
The Assault on Mount Mitchell is 102 miles and 1100 feet of accumulative elevation gain and I'll be riding that in May. Maybe that's enough volcano.
Other than that - I wish these party liners would call me when I raise the bets.
They just fold. They throw their cards in face down. Gutless!
Call me on my word!
Call me on my life!
Make me prove EVERY word I say about my experiences of TRUE AMERICAN LIFE!
Bring a camera crew. Let's share it with the world.
I'll definitely prove that this INJUSTICE SYSTEM of America is false.
But that's too easy. Call me on anything.
Meanwhile - WHERE'S MY VOLCANO?
~Micky Dee~

Fresh air on a subject of stale breath Micky.;)
You have to much to share to even think about checking out. Stick around, enlighten those that need to hear what you have to say.
You tell em, Brother!!!!!!! I'm 100% behind you on this rant. Hey, you are beginning to out rant me, now slow down!!! LOL I love this rant and give it the stamp of 'wonderful.'
Waterboard me,
Beat me with a rubber hose.
I will not worship a God,
Of “Xs” and “Os”.
I say Amen Brother I,m with you 100%, I'm sick of it all Micky I just want it all to go away. Love this write Brother man
God Bless you
A stench worse than one of my pickled eggs and beer movie theater farts! They are the bomb! ROTFLMFAO, dust
Thank you Micky for an aewsome stand up hub, I appreciate you. God bless you. creativeone59
But Micky, there's all that plausible deniability to snuggle up under while people freeze to death in our streets and boards to form to study the situation while children's teeth rot out of their head and they cry with pain of undiagnosed illnesses. There are studies and charts to show the elderly and disabled don't need a cost of living increase on their monthly pittance, I mean allotments, because the prices have not gone up.
I'd write more but my husband and I need to go searching for pop and beer cans to turn in - got a couple of prescriptions we need to have filled.
Love you brother!
As usual Mickey your hub is freakin awesome.. I love your perspective.. Excellent hub ~hugs~
Mickey, I love it when you rant, then I can take a break. :)
up/awesome
Awesome Micky, I stand with you brother, I am sick of the stench as well. This hub is unbelievably awesome as are all your hubs, I am so glad following along. God bless you and keep them coming bro.
Rob
Just remain in the ¨Micky Dee Recovery Programme ¨¨, please.. You are an exceptional man, Micky. Love you and God Bless x
Another fabulous Micky Hub!
nice write my friend. There have always been voices crying in the wilderness. Find pleasure in where God has put you. He will keep the wolves at bay! sittin on the buttons
I don't think He ever said it would be easy, but I was under the impression He loves all the X's. Also, I thought the sacrifice already made, enjoy the ride Mick. Love ya man!
Another excellent hub, Micky and I like the volcano. It needs feeding with the x's and o's.
A liquorice all-sort of amazing quotes, one-liners and wisdom that only Micky Dee could conjure up and all on the one hub page! LOL! Great and Volcanic hub here! Rated up on the Richter scale! :)
chill out!! with a volcano micky d. i could feel you getting hysterical here. but very good. you have a great point and you make it clear. People today dont know anything about God, and love and charity, congress sits on all their billions and katrillions and still ask/no force us for more, and more, and they use that money on useless things when they could put it somewhere better. i always told myself if i was rich i would donate and give to orpanages and help the animals. i dont give to your occasional bums because they will just spend it on booze or something. i think everyone should be able to get a job. and what with our growing technologies, no one should go uneducated. why the hell does everything have to be so expensive anyway?? money is the root of all evil, and its not greed, we need it to get anything in life. sure we dont need those big 70 inch tvs, and fast cars, but they sure are nice, the world has created beautiful things and made us want them at extreme prices, and if i had the money i think id stick with what i have, id by me a nice house, maybe a bit bigger tv, mines is uuber small, but like i said id help out those in need. and wars, i think are pointless. cant we all just get along, i wish things could be settled verbally, or hand to hand, i wish weapons had never been invented, but if its girl on guy, and hes obviously strong, take a frying pan to his ass. we dont need guns, and bombs, and all this poison you speak of, i dont want to be an x or an o. i am simply a human being. sorry one rant to another ey micky. im not sure if im even making sense lol
I have no understanding of x's and o's brother (Justin always says if you understand it you're part of it) but I'll damn sure give you a standing ovation for being you. The Last Poets said "It's glorious to die for a cause....but not because". Keep on bikin'! Peace!! Tom
Best of luck Micky. God be with you on your April and May bike trek's. Florida is a great place to be this time of year.
Micky, I'm in awe, sitting here reading it again and thinking how great this is. You bring it home. You tell it like it is. I hope this piece gets picked up and spread throughout the world, people want exactly what you want, no more wars, no more hunger, no more lies. You have a God given talent and i'm so thankful that you share it here.
You blew the top off on this one Micky.
Nice write,Up and awesome.
Peace
This was quite a powerful rant, MickyDee, but I am worried about you. You sound too frustrated, too angry. Maybe the bike trips will help.
Spoken from the frustrated soul of a strong sound non-conforming place; and I love it! I am in awe of your capacity to share your deepest beautifully ugly emotions. This is a gift few possess. I am moved, concerned, and can sense the developing frustration within. You are magic in word Micky~ never relent! Up and awesome you wonderful human!
~Peace to you my friend~

Micky Dee, I was floored a couple weeks ago when I went to a pharmacy to pick up some monthly medications for my mother. Her deductibles only run about $40 a month. But the guy standing in front of me was paying $900 and some odd dollars for his. He was an elderly fellow and he was telling the clerk, every month he has to do this. He was couting out his money and you could see that even his arthritis was so bad he could hardly take the bills out of his billfold. Drug companies are making billions and their lobbyists are greasing politicians every day. They have a lot more say in what gets done in Washington than the average voter. No politican really cares about a few hundred voters when some corporation is going to give them a couple hundred grand to get re-elected. And those companies producing the weapons and intel and security systems are right there with the medical suppliers. Those with the most are going to make sure they keep the most. They can make their ways legal but it will never make their ways right. Peace
You have been through a lot, seen a lot, and have a lot to say about a lot of things. And why shouldn't you? Thank goodness for you!
Micky Dee our hero of the Golden Rule. It's men like you who tell the world the truth, don't feign or grow weak, your tongue is pure Silver and I respect you for who you are, what you gave of yourself to your country and fellow American.
Don't give up the good fight my friend, you are the voice calling in the wilderness and you are being heard by so many here at the Hubs. Keep up the fight, never give in and never bow down to those who throw stones at you here at the Hubs or elsewhere.
I am proud to call you my Amigo along with 50 Caliber, Vietnamvet and Rawlus and I'm sure many others I have not had the good fortune to read yet. Peace my brothers and never give up...keep fighting for the great cause.
You are always so loyal to your causes and also very passionate. It is more like you my friend that this world needs.
Thank you for sharing my friend.
Take care
Eiddwen.
"We need to know that what we have done is not trivial." - that is so true, Micky. I want you to know that I do not believe what you do is trivial. I think it is deep and important and meaningful, and I thank you for it.
Love and peace
Tony
BTW - I love the phrase "industrial conformity"!
Micky Dee- Your passion for the truth seems to be affecting your health. You'll bust if you keep up this pace.
And I caught your 9/11 post before it was taken down. That might be the second largest crime of the century. But it is early.
Mickey my man, I read this rant soon after you published it but was too overwhelmed to comment. I still don't have much to say that would add to what you have written...it is powerful like a fist in the gut.
It is beyond my comprehension to understand how any regular blue-collar citizen can claim affiliation to the Republican Party when their purpose has become the elimination of all government programs meant to provide assistance for those of us who are not members of the wealthy ruling class.
How can middle and low income people support a Party that wants to eliminate all social safety nets including Social Security. The people who want to strip us of a chance to live our old age with some dignity are the ones who will never need the pittance Social Security provides. And yet the fools drink the kool-aid and worship the glib leaders who will enjoy gluttonous luxury obtained with the sweat and toil of struggling workers who live daily with the impossible choices between medicine and food, warm clothes or rent.
You have expressed the righteous indignation so many of us feel. The concerted efforts of the "haves" to further impoverish the "have nots" angers me and makes me sick to my stomach. And the Constitutional Right to the pursuit of happiness seems daily to be in danger of elimination.
Rant On my friend. You are our John the Baptist on a bicycle!
CP
I admire your spirit, your candor, and your perception. We need your voice, so "rant" as often as you wish...we are here, understand, agree, and support you 100%! Up and awesome!
You are so angry and frustrated, like so many who are being manipulated and controlled by so called Christian leaders and others. I have no answers and no hope that this will ever change. This is our lot in life... and all we can do is rant, protest and make it impossible for 'them' to manipulate us. I wish you peace and joy, dear Micky, or guts and power to start a revolution - not a violent one, but one beaming the Golden Rule.
YOU GO Mickey Dee! Great Hub! I can't say nothing, everyone else did! lol, lol, God Bless you, ALWAYS!!! Much love my friend!
You write with so much heart, soul, and spirit.
I'm disgusted with all parties in Congress. Doesn't matter to which party they are affiliated. Most just think about being re-elected and keeping their better than average perks rather than thinking of the country as a whole. I don't think that our founders ever thought that being a congressman or senator would be a life-long job!
Things have been going awry for some time now and both parties are at fault.
You are right to rant...but dear Micky, please take good care of yourself. We need your wisdom. Don't burn out early due to too much stress.
God bless you and keep spreading the Golden Rule.
I am with you in so many ways. God Bless and keep you! :D hugs D

Mic' I like you fear not, I limp and crawl in the valley day in and day out, being judged the least in the Kingdom of God will be better than most anything experienced in this world. God Bless 50
