• America Is Lost Part Two: Raymond's Revenge Epilogue
    Jan 6 2024
    The title of this episode is "Epilogue: No More Questions, Please." It might not be known in poetic decorum in an epic poem for the poet to dismiss the muses at the end of the work because the deus ex machina usually completes the task; however, it seems to be a new poetic device to have the antonymous action of dismissing the muses after there is no longer a need for invocating their assistance. It might be a curious clue to anyone interested in attempting to write poetry that predicts future events. One must invocate the muses for assistance with the intent to write poetry that predicts the future. Of course, the poet must be worthy of their gifts.While there has been a Part Three in draft stages for more than a year now, it is not known if that project will be completed and presented the same as the first two parts.

  • America Is Lost Part Two: Raymond's Revenge Episode 24
    Jan 6 2024
    The title of this episode is "Leave No Man Behind." It is the final battle scene of the mock epic poem. If someone had known how to do what Priest does for Raymond when Ashli Babbit was dying, she would have lived. Instead, the entire circumstance was a tragedy, but that is the calling of the muses Melpomene and Calliope. Although it does seem that Thalia had her influences on occasion, the entire tone of the poem is tragic. At the end of an epic poem, there is a poetic device called deus ex machina, which translated means machinery of the gods. The helicopter is just that in this case. Of course, this is the end, of the story. There is actually a Part Three for this series, but I might not finish it if there is no popularity for this one. This episode will be released simultaneously with the Epilogue on January 6, 2024 to commemorate the event. I would dedicate this poetic work to Ashli Babbitt, but I already dedicated it to my parents, who were the first to read these poems on December 20, 2020. They thought I was crazy until after 6 January 2021, a few weeks later.Music credits: Burlesque Heart by RKVC, and Almonds and Olives by Aaron Lieberman.

    Dec 30 2023
    The title of this episode is "This is Not The End." It is a bit of comic relief to insult the audience, but all of what a mock epic is has to do with being insulting. There is one major prediction that appears in this poem. The fact that only one bullet was fired during the insurrection is amazing in itself, but it is even more amazing that only one person was shot in the chest. Ashli Babbit died from a punctured lung. Her chest cavity filled with blood, and her lungs collapsed. She suffocated while everyone watched her not knowing what to do. If someone had the knowledge of how to do a pneumothorax, she could have lived. There were several people in photos walking around with combat lifesaver kits, but none of them were around to save Ashli's life. Sometimes, the prediction rings true, but it is a contradiction. Of course, it is not the end of the story. Musical Talents: Airline by Geographer and Ducky Funk by Quincas Moreira.

    Dec 23 2023
    The title of this episode is "Persecution of the Innocent." This poem is a prediction of several things that have already happened. The first is that many people who were actually innocent of any crimes were persecuted and prosecuted after the insurrection for just being in the area. It is also true that Mark Zuckerberg has been persecuted for what Facebook has been doing to people. Zuckerberg has also tried to shut down Facebook by replacing it with Meta, but that is a failure. He should have taken my advice and "took the money and run." Finally, I was really pissed off when I went to buy some toilet paper during covid-19 and that damn Facebook rumored there would be a shortage. I had to wipe my ass with newspaper for a few days. When toilet paper did become available on the shelves, I had to fight with a fat, black woman for one package of it! She already had two packages in her cart when I reached up to get one off the shelf, and she grabbed it as I was reaching for it. It was insanity courtesy of Facebook. Facebook is complete garbage, and nobody will miss it when it is finally gone.Musical talents: Everything Where it Needs to Be by Nat Keefe & Hot Buttered Rum.

    Dec 16 2023

    The title of this episode is "The Sky is Falling, Buruvestnik." The one change from the original poem is the addition of the Russian word Buruvestnik, which actually translates as Sky Fall. It is the name of the doomsday weapon system that Russia has promised to use as a retaliatory strike weapon after all missiles have been launched in an attack on Russia. In other words, nobody will win global thermonuclear war because Sky Fall is a cruise missile drone that circumnavigates the globe in a super-atmospheric flight path releasing its nuclear payload as directly targeted rockets. There is no arching flight path for the missiles of Sky Fall. They cannot be intercepted, and there is not likely to be any defense system remaining to defend against them when it is launched. Buruvestnik is the end of all life on the planet. There are other predictions in this poem, but listeners will enjoy the suspense much more if they attempt to identify them all without my help. It will not be long before these predictions happen. Musical talent credits: A valley Blast by Freedom Trail Studios, Impertinence by Joel Cummins, and Lotus Pond by Hanu Dixit.

    Dec 9 2023

    The title of this episode is "There Is Something You Should Know." It is true that a great many people do not know that the New Testament book of Revelations foretells Covid-19 with great specificity. As stated previously for another episode, there are predictions in this poem that have not yet happened, but they will very soon, especially because of Joe Biden's blundering foreign policies in the wake of war in Israel. The third plague will be called The White Death. Muscial credits: Easy Stroll by Track Tribe, and Bleeker Street Blues by Chris Haugen.

    Dec 2 2023
    The title of this episode is "Party Crashers." The key prediction within this poem is that there would be an attempt to change the constitution to take away the states' rights to manage elections. While it has not happened yet, it is something that should happen because the management of an election for the executive branch is not equitably conducted throughout the nation. This disparity in forms, functions, and actions among the states creates a fallacy that has become the source of corruption in Democracy. Other prediction characteristics are the violence that ensues at the capital insurrection as well as the fact that someone dropped homemade pipe bombs all over the capitol grounds. Fortunately, they were all faked or duds. Finally, the sloppiness of the security forces at the halls of congress was the worst of all incompetencies occurring at that event.

  • America Is Lost Part Two: Raymond's Revenge Episode 18
    Nov 25 2023
    The title of this episode is "The Enemy is Within." Its main purpose is to present the theoretical explanation of how we are not able to know what a poem is predicting until after the event has happened. We can say that it predicts something or other, but we only know for sure after it happens. The concept is termed here as The Paradox in Prediction. The point being that knowing what is going to happen will make it possible to prevent that event from happening thus causing a paradox and the prediction would never have occurred. It's complicated, but think about time travel as a comparison. The one amazing prediction occurring in this episode is that the team crosses the Potomac River. Prior to the January 6, there was an attempt foiled by authorities to bring weapons across the river in a small boat. Other predictions appearing in this episode have not yet occurred, so I cannot tell you about them until after they have happened. If I told you, then you would know. If you know, then you will try to prevent it from happening. If you prevent it from happening, then it will not have ever been in the poem as a prediction.
