there are a lot of these people

mauled by mainstream media's potent pushing of

                                                                        compliance +

                                                      exploitation

                                                                          = a sunken soul

how quickly did we forget the four walls of our lockdown cells post-covid

how quickly do we accept the utter spasticisms of world leaders

how quickly do we switch on our phone and consume our feed when life gets 3% uncomfortable

i think people forget that YOU ARE BORN FREE

 

who do you want to become?

what society do you want to be apart of?

how do you measure value [... money... experience... love...]?

            i find that success is a subtractive process

                        live less greed, live love laugh

and you might remember how good breathing feels

like when you have a blocked nose you are like dam I took my nose breathing for granted

                    anyone can go and get a job but it takes heart to be a bum

 

because either way:

now see the sea

imagine me

walking with four feet

across the surface of the sea

imagine me

[d]

wh[at/o] do you see

 

the cyclical cycle of WAR AND PEACE

     a centralised power to destroy the world

            and nothing ever changes when the 'power' does

our 4th most livable city built on the basis of greed

surely as the most intelligent species int he universe[to our knowledge]

we can find ways to transcend above the shackles of our monkey ancestors

we are all but too human

and sometimes that's just the way the cookie crumbles

 

we are more prosperous than ever

            we are more pointless than ever

                    gimme a gold star for doing nada

        i wonder if technology really can take us to utopia

               what would be left for us to do...?

 

        I'm going to have a house in northern NSW with a quiet beach and a large tree in my backyard so on Sunday in summer my wife can sit and read while our kids run around

                    then make a meal from our garden, fresh tomatoes and bread from the market, some fresh meat and somewhere safe and quiet to sleep 

between now and then i got a lot on my mind

        but then that's what's left for me to do.
