September 8/2011

Well what’s a lazy

neo liberal activist to do?

 

The planets heating up,

the rich are getting richer,

the poor are getting poorer,

the monies is coming

from ‘somewheres’

 

globalization will create

a super wealthy class

of which i will be a member

 

rich countries are getting poorer

the average well being

is going down

in terms of health and education,

the prisons in the us are full

crimes against other humans

crimes against property

and surprisingly

crimes against self…

just carrying is trouble…

drugs that is

guns are fine

and poor countries

like the Philippines

poverty is not improving

the material world is shaping us

as Marx clearly understood

the nightmare of sitting

in front of screens

cut off from life, each other

and our selves…this is urban.

 

Subsistence farmers want to improve their lives so the narrative goes or so the religious redemption story goes which seems to run deep…the next life will be better or worse so if i am born seven foot two and co-ordinated i believe i deserve my fame and wealth due to attributes i did not work for my height and my co ordination i can not be proud of something i had no choice in unless i

believe in some divine spirit or meta narrative which is evolving which seems to be the case as the world becomes more and more complex,

most people look to simplify…

the rich neo liberals who go to the farms and write books about their experience…which is more bliss like, than fighting with the communists on an island in the Philippines…

here no one wants to shoot

you for working the land unless you own it…

remember the diggers…

this land is my land

this land is your land…

forget about the owners…

 

if you(most of you) imagine

they don’t exist

they don’t…

owners that is…           

 

this cannot be understood

through the lens of capitalism

which is my cup of sorrow.
