B is for The Patterns [part of the lords series]


I have seen the patterns that lead to destruction.
Nothing has changed in all the years of civilisation.
Fagan’s still here.
Chain smoking bastard has cleaned up well.
He still needs a boy though
To act as front man to the chaos…
Lips that court the apocalypse.

Grimm is still here, with a Baptist bell
Warning of hell
Who (has itself)
Become the owner of corporations.
Helping anyone who needs a donation…
As long as you give up control to your soul.

Anansi became a politico.
Darwin took up drinking
Trying to get them to change their thinking.
Newton turned his attention to marketing and distribution.
Computer drivers and music players that make you feel alive… again.
I however, remain bored.
Bored as I was in the palace.
Bored like when I had just conquered cities.
Just bored! And peeved no end.
New clothes, same end.

The path to destruction remains true at even this generation of civilisation.
And nothing.
Not the hope of a girl
Nor the promise of a boy
Can push. this. back.

B is for SideBar

i was going to talk about morality today. as in "whose morality do you subscribe to?" it was going to be deep if i say so myself. however, instead i will speak about requisitioning wombs . yes that's right... wombs . i was having a conversation with a girl who [i admit] i still go gaga over [cue the "paparazzi" audio clip]. we were talking about how stupid humanity had become and whether there was a point to saving them. "saving" in the sense of helping-them-expand-their-mental-space-just-a-smidgen-more kind of saving. she believed this exercise was futile and proclaimed that instead of trying to save this "dead-out" (my term not hers) generation, she was going to have kids. a means of passing on valuable information about culture and forward thinking and such. i laughed of course but she had a real point. i too have felt that this current landscape is all... dead-out, but never really saw procreation as a means of rebooting the system if...

B is for Adam & Eventful

We walked away from humanity that day  In hopes of something grander  So I  Called her god  And she  Said the same  And often she called aloud my name.  Vain imaginings ran the course And the leaves of the food that took us higher  Now clothed us in remorse.  “Poor Adam”  “Poor Eve”  Poor knowledge sent away till our children woke up.  As us.  And gods were born to them.  Vain imaginings…  December 17, 2010  Adam & Eventful  Three Text Maximum  © tracy j h
