.communism

In 1989 the Berlin wall came down and hopes were high across the globe for a newborn unity. Twenty years later the only things that have been born are new divisions. The world has less morals and more gangsters. The rich are richer and the poor are an ever expanding entity. Apathy mingles with a resurgence of religious doctrines and politicians have long since traded honour for Platinum card tax evasion with all the thrills.  The left wing makes the T shirts and the right wing markets them. Education levels drop to dumb down the nations  and thus it ticks until we hear an almighty crash. Then those with little have to give a little more while Swiss banks keep a select minority very solvable. Long gone are true notions of community spirit and making sure the next guy is alright.  Everything has to be filed and verified in a world where general distrust is a way of life. Nobody really knows who the enemy is anymore as all political ideals have betrayed those who once believed they would make the world a better place.  

The problem is the way money is viewed. It is viewed as an end rather than a means. It is, after all, a representation of labour and goods. We have it to facilitate trade yet our current societies place it as the be all and end all to life. We must distance ourselves from this notion. People are to be valued by their actions not their bank balance. All I can see are populations wanting mansions and fast cars without lifting a finger to actually bring something to the very real lives we lead. Being a millionaire cannot be justified for as long as others go hungry. A token charity ball or donation does nothing more than make you look good in the media. Keep what you really need and give the rest away because you really do not need it.

In short: children are starving while others wine and dine on caviar and champagne. How many more centuries will we live through this? If you want a balanced community, pull your finger out of your arse and do something for those around you regardless of pay. Stop buying in to celebrity culture and all the fringes that go with it. Do something that shows that humanity can be more than a cannibalistic parasite.

The Iris Gene

The beginning is chaos trying to organise. Beings in search of self definition and a meaning to life. With the foundations of opinion comes faith and war. A will to control and subjugate the other. It is through destruction that our true nature is revealed.

The End may go full circle. Lessons learned only to be forgotten. A few remaining souls at peace with their conscience. Nursing the maddened.

The folly in nature brought us this far and may just finish us. Is there really a care for change? Do we really want to erase the divide? Are we not at peace with ourselves when we can love those close and hate those who are not?

The outcome of our future lays in the coming decades. The end game is closer than ever as control steps towards worldly proportions. The bully does it’s master’s bidding. Under the illusion that it is it’s own master. Maybe we shall all perish for the desires of hiding rulers. Maybe their ignorance shall destroy life as we know it. Or maybe a stand can be taken. One that would at last bring equality beyond nations, creed or race. One that would bring an end to centuries of needless slaughter. One that would take the rich and the lazy and make them honest workers. Doing for all, for the good of all.

I doubt this stand will be taken but I would rather perish for it’s ideals than live any other way.

 

Becoming The Enemy


The lessons of history are often read but rarely taken in to the present. The victims become instigators and make victims of their own. It's a vicious circle that can range from a slap on the face to mass murder. The dilemma has always been in knowing how to measure our reactions. What has been done to us does not give us permission to do the same to others but a certain leniency is often found for a victim of circumstance. What interests me is the line that separates the justified act from simply becoming what we abhor.
I see things as cause and effect and dismiss the notion of inherent good or evil. The Universe works on action and reaction, at least to our understanding. The laws of nature work in cycles and any interruption in these cycles will set varied cycles in motion. If we look on mankind as basically willing to survive then a man or woman will react to any threat to that will. Yet some will react more strongly than others. Some will push to further extremes and feel totally justified in doing so. The question is: At what point have we crossed the line?
