Reply to Gonzo

Rep

It's the greed that's the seed

that sprouts lies so diffuse

not one but manifold

As for death,

love snuffs it

as surely as the magician's knot

unravels to show a smooth length of rope

We'll take also the other side of this dark coin,

The food shortage

Grown (withered) by the same poison seed

One more thing - to an old friend who

fashioned these views as much inspired them:

The markets don't destroy the collective unconscious

But perpetuate it

Selling seeds as virtues

SO as to constitute the unconscious itself

You notice how fiercely people defend their consumption decisions?

Finance for a better future

This is significant.

Global finance is paving the way for global governance.

Who would have thought the offspring of Wall St would hold the greatest prospect for World Peace?

Did the hedge fund manager have this in mind when he made his latest arbitrage swoop?

Electronic trading programs factor humanity in their binary?

Or has God found a way to confound us all?

The most mechanical of motions thundering towards our deepest desire.

The invisible hand!

And the billionaire planted it.

Though his billions may not survive the sprouting.

I wonder what else could be growing

Amongst the mechanisms on this beautiful Earth

Consequences we can little see

That horrify

Yet joyfully surprise

When the full bloom comes

Sung to your own song

[Peace and love to Ras Babi]

We’re crying for peace – brothers!
We’re crying for peace – sinners!
Dead faces pretend
Nothing goes wrong
You just soldier on
Remote control army
Singing X-factor song

We’re crying for peace – sisters!
We’re crying for peace – soldiers!
Guns in hand
Fighting wars to be bland
Living dead all the time
You raise your right hand [click]

War is gone – soldiers!
No more going on – mothers!
But you’re too far gone
Forget to sing your own song
Eyes can’t pass
The dead full mass
Better stay at home
Keep fillin’ your glass.

Mother we’re gone
Can’t hear you calling us home
We’re too far along
Dead to your song
We never even know
Where we come from

Father is dead
On last night’s news
No more self help book
Can give us the clue

Love. Freedom. Happiness.
Nowehere outside
But with IN

No you won't fool the Children of the Revolution!
No you won't fool the Children of the Revolution!
No you won't fool the Children of the Revolution!
