Snow On The TV

This is verse meant to appear in a drawing using the rethink-reuse-recycle logo but with the arrows making the shape of a heart instead of the industrial triangle we are all used to seeing on packaging.  The words would be inside the arrows, and the flow of the arrows would create a kind of mandala.  I would title this drawing 'Mandala For Dematerialization (Apologies to Mother Earth)'.  It's all these words that describe all this bullshit kicking down in the world of Man, but within the text there are good things that can be recycled.  And I have always used a page here and there, on average once a month or so, to let out all the shit that has been building up.  I always title the page 'Recycle Bin' as though this were my page to throw rubbish away.  So I've changed this piece to be another recycle bin.

RECYCLE BIN (APOLOGIES TO MOTHER EARTH)

Plastic people

U & me                                  

Did we                                   

Blind & boring                     

Choose to be

     

Reveal the key

To restoration

Of harmony

For steadily

The tide rises

If we want to 

Survive this

Examination

Of human legacy

Need be faced

And quickly

So, let us see –

                               

External projection of
Misunderstood internal

Enemy,

Civilizing brutalization,

Colonialization,

Predatory appropriation

Of Aboriginal territory,

Incarceration &

Intimidation of femininity,

Eradication of the meaning

Of Dreaming teaching,

Obliteration of old world

Mystery

Allows acceleration

Of devastation,

Wanton copulation,

Overpopulation,

Deforestation,

Genetic modification

Without long-term observation,                                                                        But ugh

Ruination,                                                                                                                Too weary

Extermination &                                                                                                        Too weary ugh

Annihilation of                                                                                                              Take no heed

Our brothers, the animals:                                                                                     Too scary

The actions of cannibals;                                                                                      Too dreary

Original disregard                                                                                             Very contrary

For future generation                                                                                       Snow on the TV

Means isolation &

Disintegration of community;

Alienation;

Disconnection

From Planet Earth

Home station

Misdirection of energy

Mass mind manipulation

Thievery corporations’

Co-optation, monopolization

& Privatisation of

Communication &

Technology,

Criminalization of free

Sharing of information,

Indoctrination,

Miseducation;

Objectification,

Commercialization                                                           

& Commoditisation of

Identity;

Categorisation, segregation,

Marginalisation of

Unfavourability,

Relegation to
Psychic insanity
All the unwanted,

Hysterical sticky 
Elements of society 

Consumption

Of televised pacification,

Dissemination of

Stupidification,

Fascination with

Wealth accumulation,

Over-stimulation, then

Censoring of expression;

Medication

Medication – a Pill

For any sensation,

Deprivation of 

Self exploration 
&Procrastination                                                                                              

Of realisation;

Money and money                                                                               But Ugh

Taxation and then more,                                                                     Too scary

A them ‘n us philosophy                                                                       Too dreary

For justification of war,                                                                           Too time-weary

Weapons, the honey                                                                                     Force-feed

Of patrionationalisation;                                                                         No feeling

Gross capitalisation                                                                              No need

& Americanisation of                                                                          To take heed

All life stylization;                                                                              Life’s too slow

Ego glorification,                                                                                  Give me give me

Starvation of imagination                                                                      Give me, but

                                                                                                                        Nothing’s for free 

Wild life on Nat Geo                                                                                Life is snow on the TV

 in 3D HD                                                                                                   Safe, stable

Very contrary                                                                                          Nervous system

Duality in binary                                                                                   Security,

Controlling, interfering                                                                     Static electricity

Self-appointed masters

Of creation;

Dehumanisation,

Slave nation

And when the chaos comes

Will you turn your face in shame,

Bury deeper into the everyday

Or break the pattern of ignorance,

Embrace the change,

Look into the mirror,

Behold the horror

And not look away?
