Post Modernism lament

I have very little conviction…

i do not seem to matter

I say with an air

of self importance.

 

Why get books published?

why try to push civilization along?

 

q.what is the purpose of life?

a. to shine the brightest.

 

in a short time

would seem defeatist

do we move out of a love for the planet,

out of a love of life,

a love of nature

or a hatred of white men

who still run rough shod

over the planet…

 

let’s unwind…

 

the rich country

allies control

the resources

of the world

and take 70%

let’s say

 

Instead of feeding

we bomb and write reports

give money we stole

which strengthens

dependency…

 

in old fashion math

if you subtract

without adding

eventually you die

but by interfering

with nature we kill

200 species a day

for ever

as in extinct.

 

the far left cries.     

 

we all do

hopefully there will

be a few more

generations

 

in the city

one trusts completely

on global supply chains

which aren’t that secure

 

if the middle east

is any indication

 

yesterday

they drove a tank over people

worse than Tiananmen Square

some pundits argue

this is the end

of the revolution

now it is a coup d’etat

riding a populist wave

to victory.

 

the problems with governments

is they eventually get filled with people

and people like to hold on to power

and the military is backed by the US

 

130 countries and

700 military bases

 

the pirates may break

up supply chains

but half the oil

is used

on running the machine

militaristically

 

we’re running down

and this all seems

sped up

 

as i sit relaxed

with internet wealth

railing against

the machine

I live regally…

out of touch

 

i believe I’m an

extrivert

when i’m alone

 

feudalsim is upon us

as the masses scramble

for what they consider

their daily bread or monthly nut

or must have consumer items

 

The rich live in mansions

 

initially i am uptight

and loosen up very little

trauma stays in the body

if unable to express

and as freud writes

civilization

and its discontent

 

We have now come to the place where we no longer believe we are different than the machine…which could change in an instant with a change in attitude instead it is seen as an a priori…or a given…which is the conquering of the world led by the us military/government and unfettered capitalism…only a protection of property rights…those with the property rule most and the military is the final trump card.

It was sad being in Egypt because it did not feel like a country after a revolution should feel. There was none of the chaos, none of the madness, none of the humanness one would expect.

A Parliamentary election was coming up and there was to be a Presidential election in the spring. Now some argue that the Coptic Christian massacre was intended to destabilize the revolutionary forces and retrench the strength of the military who will be seen as the one to provide security…

in a good world

health food education housing a right 

advertising is banned…

which will allow for supply chains

to be distributed

more in terms of need

instead of ability to pay.

 

From each according to his abilities

to each according to his needs

which can come from many sources

 

first things first

food security for everyone

regardless of US dollars.

 

A feeling and a thought accompany every body response, forming a cycle of physical , emotional and intellectual information …we receive with our senses experience with our nervous system and translate information with our brains…we hope these three co-operate…knowing accepting and valuing one another's existence…

how about just knowing and accepting

When people receive mixed messages they feel like they are losing control or that we are stupid. This anxiety is countered by patterns of coping which is being right for some.

We all have thousands of experiences to justify ourselves and there in lies the problem of global poverty. We do not see it yet know it exists.

Psychologically we would rather be secure than rocking the boat.

Has the spiritual work been co-opted by the capitalists to reinforce a consumerist approach to life.    

What is your purpose or are you speaking in tongues again?                   

 

 

 

 

 

conflict

 

the operating of a civil society and emotion

which if not balanced with reason would be chaos

which would be a drag on progress

and require a new way of thinking

 

people are people

deep down

we’re all friends.
