There was a moment in time once where I would welcome any opportunity to speak my piece, my heart, if only to rip it from my breast and toss it to your table bloodied and torn, declaring wildly 'look, how gloriously it beats to it's own drum! Even I can't control it's passions and delusions and murmurs'…but these days words iz cheap, and any 'ol chump can throw 'em round like darts…(a blab has become a blob has become a blog)…and just like the sci-fi movie from the 50's "The Blob", no one can figure out how to kill it or simply outrun it…we all just stand here transfixed, gaping at the lack of consciousness of something so unwilling to negotiate, it's only obvious intention seems to be a desire to absorb all in it's path…so with that, with what's left in my mind, I sacrifice these words to the gaping maw of The Void…
SO BEHOLD NOW THE SKY GATEWAY WHILE..

I Started A Joke
Eu comecei uma brincadeira
(Bee Gees)
I started a joke
Eu comecei uma brincadeira
Which started the whole world crying
Que fez o mundo começar a chorar
Oh but I didn't see
Oh mas eu não vi
That the joke was on me oh no
Que a brincadeira era comigo, oh não
And I started to cry
E eu comecei a chorar
Which started the whole world laughing
Que fez o mundo todo começar a sorrir
Oh If I'd only seen
Oh se eu apenas percebesse
That the joke was on me
Que a brincadeira era comigo
And I looked at the skies
E eu olhei para o céu,
Running my hands over my eyes
Passando minhas mãos em meus olhos
And I fell out of bed
E eu caí da cama
Cursing my head for things that I've said
Amaldiçoando minha mente pelas coisas que tenho dito.
'Till I finaly died
Até que finalmente morri,
Which started the whole world living
Que fez o mundo todo começar um viver
Oh If I'd only seen
Oh se eu apenas percebesse
That the joke was on me
Que a brincadeira era comigo
And I looked at the skies
E eu olhei para o céu
Running my hands over my eyes
Passando minhas mãos em meus olhos
And I fell out of bed
E eu caí da cama,
Cursing my head for things that I've said
Amaldiçoando minha mente pelas coisas que tenho dito.
'Till I finaly died
Até que finalmente morri,
Which started the whole world living
Que fez o mundo todo começar um viver
Oh If I'd only seen
Oh se eu apenas percebesse
That the joke was on me
Que a brincadeira era comigo
Oh no that the joke was on me...
Oh não, que a brincadeira eracomigo...

I Started A Joke: An Interpretive Study
by Mary Lee Foote
http://www.napathon.net/IStartedAJoke.php
This song leaves naked, parts of the soul we tend to keep covered,
even from our own deeper selves.
We see in it, our own personal sins of omission that do not look so pretty in black and white and are even more haunting when presented in a package of understated music and single-voiced verse. Although I do see where the spiritual intonation peers through the lyric at us, I see here, too, the personal commentary of an inner moral dilemma being posed by the subject and the step by step process by which he rationalizes his justification for not following his inner personal voice. This person wants desperately to shed his etiquetted skin and stand on the purity of truth rather than cower in civilized silence in the face of injustice.
He theorizes the consequences of such an action on his part. He knows his statement will upset the world that, up to this point, was living comfortably in its own shallow self-deception. Because his view is so different from everyone else, he knows this will upset the sedate tranquility of those around him. In defensive retaliation, rather than re-examining, reforming, and admitting to the error of their ways, society would turn its collective, disdainful back on his statement and proclaim the fundamental truth he has exposed to be merely the folly of a prankster.
He goes on to see that he will not be taken seriously and cries in the frustration of being the only one who has had this vision of truth and reality. He feels alone and small in the cosmos. At this, he knows the world will take great delight in his outward appearance of weakness and defeat and in their arrogance he knows they will unite in crushing declamation and mercilessly taunt him wherever he goes, all the days of his life.
He looks up, seeking heavenly approval and resolve of the issue. He attempts to clear his eyes searching for a sign of the miraculous awakening of those around him. Just as he begins to dry his eyes in the faith that, because of his sincerity of heart, there will surely now be change, he tumbles out of his dream-state into reality. He falls hard from grace back into the moment.
The enormity of the entire situation crashes over him like a tidal wave as he sees the ramifications of what he has started by his simple statement of truth. He is paralyzed in thought and can no longer make sense of his own words as they drown in the whirlpool of confusion between human emotion and soulful truth. He eventually dies a broken man because he knows the truth but never pursued it to the fullest of its intent due to his lack of courage in his own personal convictions. He saw himself as wholly inadequate to challenge what he did not approve of in this world so he never stood up for what he believed in.
After his death, civilization perpetuates itself in its blithe ignorance, unscathed by the voice of truth he held within. He is gone, and with him, the potential threat he posed to a thinly-skinned euphoric society.
In the end, he sees that he had indeed been right and that society was truly wrong. He knows then, all too late, that he would have made a difference if only he had not given in to his own imagined fears.
He wasted a lifetime repressing himself and the truth he had once envisioned. He had become his own worst enemy. He had shackled his own soul down - not the society that he had tried to hold accountable for his lack of action. He ultimately became the very thing he once morally raged against - a silent, self-deceiving member of a pretentious urbane society.
Yes, the joke WAS on him.
