As Jesus Never Said

Pride is the gift
that uniquely
you give yourself
that is hardest
to dispose of.

My First Christmas Present of 2014

I wonder how far it will go when it open it.

Hoarding Oblivion

for future use is not world leaders collecting weaponry
the way George the Sixth collected stamps,
to loving gaze upon them in self reflective moments.
It means cultures of addiction across the world
joining up with each other to make themselves
collectively unable of stop each other destroying
what they, and everyone else, is dependent on.

Acceptable Dystopias

The height of public intimacy for me used to be
being the younger partner in distrustful sex in public toilets
between drunken men and idiotic boys.
Mutually deceived about the effects of alcohol,
we fiddled with each other' bits through holes
men had made between the cubicle walls.
The married men always got the most attention,
Just like they did at home in different circumstances.
We further deceived ourselves that nobody knew where we were.
The mothers and wives in the town knew exactly what was happening,
but let it be, rendering it taboo, uncommentable on.
They were grimly glad to avoid drunken male fumblings.
I was never arrested. Nor was anybody I knew, there was no need.
When family values were about members guilt-tripping each other
into ever darker corners where neither could see, then nobody could trust the law,
nor could we seek help for poor mental health from the local social services.
The more powerful the family member, the more they could deny their jealousy
using spurious moral reasoning as their cover, whilst removing other peoples exits from them.

I have lived in places from which nobody was ever meant to retrieve themselves alive.

Stephen Hawking

need not be afraid of humans
creating an intelligent technology
which will outsmart them
without us knowing how it did it.
Look at life on Planet Earth,
is the most complex and complete
functioning mechanism we know,
complete to the point where
it is much more complex
than we know how to discern
and accept. The best we can do
is diligently test it to destruction
through our stupidity.

The Currency Of Acceptance (2)

'What will people think?'
is a question the english use
to express their fear of disapproval.
It is used by those who in their vanity
don't realize that fear and approval
are always conditional.
They are merely different sides
of the same coin-the hope
of being taken at face value. 

The Eternal Catch-22

Where the idea of escape is the ultimate trap,
and existence is a matter of torture or be tortured.
