So... aliens eh. What a nuisance they are, destroying stuff, killing people, trying to take over the world, not much of a
friendly sort in general. What has this got to do with anything I hear you cry, have I gone completely insane? Should I
be locked away in a padded cell? Well not just yet, as this is actually leading somewhere. You see I listened to Jeff
Wayne’s musical version of the war of the worlds last night, and I was very impressed. Impressed enough to write
about it in fact, and I lead on to this. I thoroughly enjoyed the piece. It was by turns eerie and magnificent,
spectacular and moving, rocking and most of all highly entertaining. I would recommend it to anybody with ears, and
for those without...shame on you...
Right, with that out of the way I can get on to the real matter in hand which is bigging up my new forum. For those of
you who don't already know about it, now is the time to take notice and join us. It is a chance to join some like-minded individuals in chat about anything you like. If you want to talk about it you can and should. I won't go on any more except to say that WE NEED YOU! I would much appreciate it if you gave it a chance, and all you need to do is click here(must then enter url) Thank you.
Ok, grovelling over, now on with the post. Yes this is a very long post, but this is to make up for the fact that I haven't done one for such a very long time, well since before Christmas, but anyway... I was thinking(oh dear) and I came to the conclusion that life is rubbish. This country is rubbish, the majority of people are rubbish(not you of course, anyone still reading this far in to this post must have some intelligence). So why have I not given up? Why have I not killed myself? Well there is basically one reason, and this reason is that life can be great. So many things are a joke, the law, government(pah), a lot of people(especially near where I live), and so many more things. But why? Why are so many people doing so many things wrong? How can people so supposedly intelligent make things so unfair? Greed and fear. The people in power want to stay in power, not to protect our interests. They want to fuck us over and rape us for our votes again and again. Their weapons are statistics and their war? Against marauding intelligence that is roaming free across the landscape, posing a threat to their existence. They fear people being able to think. They know that in the end, if people are not herded through life with a cattle prod, unable to form free thought outside what they consider to be controlling their life, like what to have for breakfast, where to go on a day out, what career path to choose, who to fuck, where to go to drink themselves to the grave, what brand of cigarette death sticks to fuck their body out of its goodness and kill them slowly. These are all choices but are they the most important choices to be made in this world? Of course not, that is what the people in power are for isn't it, to make all the important decisions so we don't have to? Well yes, in a way, but then if you think about it, isn't this supposed to be a democracy, aren't we supposed to be the ones voting for how our lives should go? Sometimes we get the chance to, but moist of the time what we say gets completely ignored. Do we really control our fate? What if a big decision that will affect the whole country arises? We would surely vote for what we, as a country should do? Lets take the war in Iraq as an example. Thousands of people marched in protest, the majority of the country was against it. But we went to war. We don't really have control over our lives. We are just pawns in a game of power. The only way we can really ever be fully in control of our lives is to rise up, take over, but then you would have to look at the problems in that. The increasing emergence of 'chavs' has been spreading like a disease, infecting the landscape, swarming across it on a sea of Burberry and cheap jewellery, smothering intelligence and individuality in its wake. We now have the music that is the choice of these almost zombie like creatures. I can't really give it a name except 'utter crap'. Is this what we have been reduced to? Is this how far humanity has progressed? Over countless centuries, civilisations have strived to further themselves, and this sorry, crappy excuse for a world is what we are left with. But at least, among the shit, glittering diamonds can emerge. (comparative) social outcasts maybe, people such as you and I have a duty. We are here for a reason, we exist for a reason. For, no matter how far into the gutter humanity sinks in various ways, there will always be some people who are not content with being just another person, not content with being another faceless corporate soulless, worthless, disposable member of this society of conformity and unoriginality. Even though humanity may never again be able to truly hold its head up high, amongst the rubble of the integrity of our ever increasing race of idiots run by pigs with no idea of real worth, there will always be hope, because no matter what, some people can only live one way. The way we should live is to be adventurous, be creative, but above all, be yourself, after all, being someone else is no fun, is it? (Especially when that person is some brain-dead, Burberry wearing twat who does everything they can to look cool, while simultaneously managing to look unbelievably stupid, and who probably is. Anything approaching intelligence is frowned upon, or more likely spat upon and beaten up, possibly while grunting or communicating in a language only they can understand. The occasional word may be recognisable, although will quite likely be an offensive 4 letter word, possibly because any word beyond 4 letters is too hard for them.) Sorry, got a bit carries away there. Anyway, I have 2 bits of poetry to finish this post, and thank you for reading it if you have made it this far, and so to finish...
EVIL?
This shining light
this masochistic sight
the prophet of doom
the man in the moon
the darkness from whence it came
from fame and fortune
to lust and greed
a little no longer enough
starvation of wealth
his longing unquenched
his fate entrenched
the truth is coming
and he is digging
his grave in obscured plain sight
he cannot stop
he will not stop
the good extinguished
his soul diminished
for want of a pot of gold
but what does he stand for
this weasel of a man
is it evil or corporate greed
the answer is neither
but what inspires us all
what consumes us all
the greatest sin of all
Human Nature...
this is our downfall
and our fate
or is it?
