slave planet

[helen99]

One of the things I liked about this planet was that there were places you could go where things were really different - you couldn't get TV, there was no daylight savings time, and nobody knew what McDonald's was. Laws saying that farmers couldn't save their seeds or collect rainwater didn't exist anywhere, and the mere concept would have caused jaws to drop everywhere.

Gradually, the world has become such that no matter where you go, the same aluminum cans litter everything, the same ugly ads appear everywhere, the same hideously mundane architecture enslaves the ground and sky, and the same gods are worshipped.

And recently, I've been waking up feeling like my heart is in a jail cell of iron bars, because I see bars crisscrossing the entire planet. I see the world being put into a jail cell, and being chained and enslaved by the quest to own, to leave one's mark, to make all "otherness" similar to one's self, traits that would be dealt with by natural means if the species were few in numbers, but which are lethal in large doses.

I think the issue too is the world is made smaller than it really is, and anything crossing those boundaries is considered taboo. Same goes for human mind or spirituality...anything that is 'other' is restricted, or silenced or restrained.

You'd be surprised how often I think of things like this.

I think it's been a relatively recent development that it's grown big enough to affect how I experience the planet as a whole. Previously, I could always imagine a place that was untouched by this - but somehow even this has been breached by those who want to own every inch of air, water, and land, destroying all who may have been there first and homogenizing the land after their own image. It is such that I'm beginning to feel it reflected in my form.

We need to start (re)building the sky cities, which we can declare to be our own nations, and hover over the open seas.

Unless we can find a way declare our own bodies individual nations, and then form strong treaties with other people-nations, and become one large, roaming nation, without ground based borders. hehee

Oo - sky cities! Wonderful! (though the tech would have to be perfected to reprocess the byproducts into pure elements...)

This is true.. more easily done if we're running on natural foods, as opposed to steroid enhanced products and the like. (^*^)' It can be done! We just gotta work on it.. for a while. ee

There are huge walls erected in this world, but the walls are one way. They stop you from getting out, but make sure the corporations can get in. Lately, the fundamentalists have been getting the keys to get in as well.

Time to start casting sledgehammers.

The fundamentalists are their propaganda machine. By weaving religion into it, they've made it into a pilgrimage instead of a slimepit built on dead men's bones.

So it's a pilgrimage over dead men's bones, that's some imagery %-/

I still want a good sledgehammer

*nods* Well said!

Haggis Hunting

[aireathiel.livejournal.com]

*In The Beginning*
What was once wispered about in coffeehouse circles and written in underground papers, by what the world at large considered to be conspiracy theorists and crackpots, was & still is ignored or rediculed by the normal citizen,..has become Very Real and glaringly apparent now to anyone whom cares to look around.
The Most frightening thing is?
They aint lookin'..most people still find ways to explain 'it' away as they do with other things, swamp gas or..hydrogen bubbles..light refractions..birds.
They like to pooh pooh 'it' away with vapid dismissals. Or..outright denials, such as how our warnings about this Global Conformity Nightmare is being passed off as the Savior of The Starving World, are just the rabid machinations of a few wild eyed, raving mad, lunatic, troublemakers suffering from assorted phobias, syndromes and seizures while foaming at the mouth and wearing tinfoil hats.
They are told We..are trying to stop Progress for All mankind.
*dribbles*
Oohhh..how nice it would be to believe that!
So much easier to sit back on our comfortable couches and dream it away.
If only we could.
But some of us are unfortunately awake wither we want to be or not, and can not close our eyes without seeing 'it'..looming, an insideous shadow, a dark and growing Cancer.
Thus We, the unfortunate awake, became the Antibodies.
The Body?
Is mostly composed of singleminded, simpleminded, herd mentality people bleating like sheep. Milling around, confused and confounded but unwilling to See why things are not as they should be.
& like lemmings the majority are led on a one way only path, blinded by ignorance & greed, willingly being distracted by the next New & Improved shiney thing waved in their faces and told by Mass Media Corp..this is what they Must Have..Need, can not live without..and don't ask why..thats just complicated and you don't need to know anyway. AND if you question it you Will be Damned because This is Gods Will.
The 1st. commandment? Never..Never admit the Monster exsists and face the Truth..that it is in fact the long planned, long awaited, long feared New World Order, Globally established now.
A Ravenous beast with roots in every soil and has not yet begun to show it's true nature..
But despite their redicule, Love them we Must..they are our families, our brothers and sisters, our Kin whom not yet understand. Our hope is that there will still be time for them to save themselves when they do.
Until then, We, the lunatics, are David..........standing quite small and alone to meet Goliath.
Ready..Slingshots...Fire!

There..that said..i'ma goin'on a Haggis Hunt! *waves*
