YOU SHOULD REMEMBER THAT OTHER PEOPLE BLAME YOU TOO. BLAME IS A TRICKLING RESPONSE TO SOMEONE BLAMING YOU FOR SOMETHING. THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING.
“This idea does not belong to the soul, it belongs to the idea”
‘Charles Saunders Dean’
‘The Buck Stops Here’
‘Fucking Everyone’
IF WE TAKE ‘THE BUCK’ TO MEAN RESPONSIBILITY FOR A FUCK UP THEN ‘THE BUCK’ MOVES AROUND A LOT AND IT ONLY STOPS IN ONE PLACE; WHERE EVERYONE ELSE SAYS IT DOES.
BETTER TO BE IN CHARGE OF EVERYTHING OR NOTHING
MIDDLE MANAGEMENT GET SQUASHED LIKE GRAPE!
EVERYONE’S RIGHT
EVERYONE’S WRONG
ALL THE TIME
RIGHT?
RIGHT?
TO TRULY FIND OUT WHAT MATTERS
TRY MIND OVER MIND
TRY TO RIGHT THE WRONG TRAP
CAN YOU REMIND YOURSELF AND AGREE WITH YOURSELF
THAT YOU ABSOLUTELY KNOW
THAT THERE IS MORE TO KNOW
THAN YOU WILL EVER KNOW
THAT WHAT YOU KNOW TO BE RIGHT
RIGHT NOW MIGHT BE WRONG IN TIME
EASY AS AN ABSTRACT THOUGHT
TELL IT TO THE JUDGE IN COURT
EVERYONE FROM ‘GHENGIS KHAN’ TO ‘PABLO ESCOBAR’ BELIEVED THEY WERE RIGHT. THING IS, A LOT OF PEOPLE AGREED WITH THEM. THE UNOFFICIAL KING OF ‘COLOMBIA’ BUILT SCHOOLS. IN ‘MEDALLIN’ ‘ESCOBAR’ WAS A, MOSTLY, BENEVOLENT PHAROE
FROM ‘CHARLIE MANSON’S’ POINT OF VIEW, ‘CHARLIE’ WAS RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING. THE FORCE THAT DRIVES A SINGLE BEING TO CREATE A DYNASTY MUST BE THE MOST INTOXICATING OF ELIXIRS.
I DO A NICE LINE IN POLEMICS.
STEP UP. POP IN FOR MEDICINE.
“To live fully is to live with an awareness of the rumble and terror that underlies everything”
‘Ernest Becker’
BACK WHEN WE WERE ANIMALS WE HAD LOTS OF FEELINGS THAT KEPT US ALIVE. BACK THEN FAT AND SUGAR KEPT US ALIVE THOSE FEELINGS ARE STILL THERE, THEY ARE STILL REAL. AT A CELLULAR LEVEL LIFE IS ALL ABOUT GETTING OXYGEN AND GLUCOSE IN AND OUT FOR AS LONG AS YOU CAN.
SOME SPIDERS COMBINE BIRTH,DEATH, MARRIAGE AND LUNCH.
ANY BEE WILL TELL YOU TO STICK WITH THE ‘ME TOO’ MOVEMENT LIKE HONEY.
EVER SINCE WE BECAME SELF AWARE OF OUR OWN MORTALITY THAT THOUGHT HAS BECOME AN IRK THAT WE ALL HAVE OUR WHOLE LIVES TO DEAL WITH.
FOR MOST PEOPLE JUST LIVING THEIR LIVES AS BEST THEY CAN, TO DO AS LITTLE HARM TO OTHERS, TO HELP AND TO HAVE NICE PEOPLE SAY NICE THINGS ABOUT THEM AT THEIR FUNERAL IS ENOUGH.
JUST LIKE WANTING SUGAR AND FAT AND KNOWING IT IS BAD FOR YOU, WE HAVE EVOLVED TO A POINT WHERE THE GRATIFICATION FROM KNOWING YOU HAVE A LEGACY IS AS TASTY AS A RIB DRIPPING IN CHIPOTLE SAUCE AND JUST AS BAD FOR YOUR HEART.
‘BILL GATES’ WILL DIE KNOWING THAT HE REVOLUTIONISED THE WORLD IN THE SAME WAY ‘EINSTEIN’, ‘BRUNEL’, ‘GALILEO’, ‘DANTE’, ‘CONSTANTINE’, ‘JESUS’, ‘MOHAMMED’ AND ‘LENNON’ AND ‘MCCARTNEY’ CHANGED THE WORLD.
‘DONALD TRUMP’ WILL DIE HAPPY KNOWING EVERYONE KNOWS HIS NAME.
ASK ‘TESLA’ WHAT HE THOUGHT OF ‘EDISON’
FROM THE FIRST TIME YOU TODDLE TO A WALL WITH A CRAYON
TO WHATEVER YOU OGLE AND SPRAY YOUR FLAGRANCE ON
THE CONSEQUENCES OF WHAT YOU ARE REMEMBERED FOR WILL BE OF NO CONSEQUENCE TO YOU
HOW ABOUT ‘GHANDI’, ‘MANDELLA’ OR MCGUINNES’?
THOSE WHO HAVE LED AND FOUGHT FOR PROGRESSION OF PARITY IN SOCIETY TEND TO COME WITH THEIR OWN POLITICAL BAGGAGE…AND FOLLOWERS.
“MAKE ‘AMERICA’ GREAT AGAIN”
‘Donald Trump’
“The great and the good will decide what is good for us and make sure that we get what is good for us, good and hard.”
‘Nigel Farrage’
“I’ve learned something too; selling out is sweet because when you sell out; you get to make a lot of money and when you have money; you don’t have to hang out with a bunch of poor asses like you guys. Screw you guys, I’m going home.
‘Eric Cartman’
“DID MARTIN LUTHER DIE IN VAIN…YOU ALL BETTER STOP AND THINK”
‘Nina Simone’
TWITTER WOULD BE JUST AS SUCCESSFUL, MORE ACCURATE AND, MORE IMPORTANTLY, BETTER FOR THE PSYCHE OF THE WORLD IF ‘FOLLLOWERS’ TO ‘SHEEP’? NO THAT DOESN’T WORK, ‘CHOOSERS?’, NOPR, STILL SUCKED IN.’DEMOCRATIC OPINIONATORS?’, ‘POCKET JUDGE, JURY AND EXECUTIONERS’? ‘MIND FARTERS?’
IF A TREE FALLS IN THE WOODS AND NO ONE IS THERE TO TWEET IT…
‘VINCENT VAN GOUGH’, THE ‘PAUL GASCOIGNE’ OF ART, WORKED AS A COURIER, DELIVERING RELATIVE INSIGNIFICANCE ACROSS NATIONS, HE HAD NO REGARD FOR CAREER OR SELF-AGGRANDISEMENT. HE WAS SIMPLY RIDDLED, DRIVEN BY A COMPULSION TO CREATE SOMETHING INCOMPARABLY ORIGINAL.
Do not ever confuse simple with easy.
HE WASN’T TRYING TO REVOLUTIONISE ART, YET HE DID.
HIS ACTIONS, HIS COMPULTIONS TO CREATE VERSUS HIS NEED TO SURVIVE WAS TORTUROUS. NO AMOUNT OF MONEY OR FAME WOULD HAVE SOLVED THAT PROBLEM.
‘KURT COBAIN’ FOUND THE LOSS OF HIS OWN ANONYMITY TO HIGH A PRICE FOR WHAT HE DID NOT INTEND TO ACCOMPLISH.
IT IS THOSE THAT SEEK GLORY IN POWER THAT SHOULD MAKE US WARY. HISTORY USED TO BE WRITTEN BY THE WINNERS BECAUSE THE BIG PEN IS PART OF THE PRIZE.
WELL, ‘FACE BOOK’ HAS ALL THE LATEST UPDATES ON THAT SNAKE EATING IT’S OWN TAIL.
THE INTERNET HAS BURNED THE CITADEL
RAZED IT TO THE GROUND
‘FAKE NEWSED’ IT TO FIERY FUCKING HELL
NOTHING TO BE FOUND
ONE FLICK OF THE CHANEL AND WE FORGET THAT WE ARE STILL PART OF HISTORY.
THE SENTENCE YOU ARE READING NOW WAS ORIGINALLY WRITTEN NOW; FOR ME
TWO FIXED POINTS IN TIME ALIGNING TWO THOUGHTS WITH WORDS
JUST NOW
WONDER WHERE YOU ARE NOW?
THO GODS FROM TWO DIFFERENT LITTLE UNIVERSES IN TWO UNKNOWN MOMENTS TRANSFERRING AN IDEA
DO WE AGREE?
THIS IS THE BATTLE
THIS IS WHERE YOU BEWARE OF THE WRONG TRAP
THIS IS WHERE YOU REMIND YOURSELF THAT, DESPITE WHO YOU THINK YOU ARE, ABSOLUTLY NO ONE ELSE IN THE WORLD SEES YOU THAT WAY
WE RULE BY CONCENSUS
IT’S NOT WHO YOU SAY YOU ARE, IT’S WHO WE SAY YOU ARE
IT’S NOT WHAT YOU KNOW
IT’S NOT WHO YOU KNOW
IT’S WHO ‘KNOWS’ YOU
THIS IS WHERE YOU BEWARE THE WRONG TRAP
THE ONE YOU MAY NOT YET KNOW YOU ARE IN
THE ONE THEY DIDN’T TELL YOU ABOUT THAT AT THE TIME
WHENEVER I SEE HIM I GIVE HIM MY TIME, MY MONEY AND I SAY A LITTLE PRAYER
NOT FOR HIM, FOR ME, ‘THERE BUT FOR THE GRACE OF GOD, (OR WHATEVER HIGHER POWERE YOU MAY OR MAY NOT BELIEVE IN), GO I’
THINK OF SOMEONE WORSE OFF THAN YOU. HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THEM. PITY?
SUDDENLY SOMEONE YOU HAVE FELT SORRY FOR BITES YOUR HAND
SO YOU’RE THERE FEELING ALL GENEROUS AND BENEVOLENT, FEELING SORRY FOR ‘FRITZ’, GIVING HIM YOUR, WELL EARNED, TIME AND HE SAYS,
“Listen ‘bruv’,
I know, I know, I know, I know
Dat ahhhhhhmm
Dat ahhhhhhmm
Listen
I know, I know,
Dat ahhhhhhmm
I know, I know, I know, I know
Dat ahhhhhhmm…
You take advantage of the people that love you.”
A HARD DRIVE THAT NEEDS A CLEAN UP
DO NOT ARGUE WITH SOMEONE WHO PITIES YOU
REMEMBER THE TERMS OF THE RELATIONSHIP ARE NOT EQUAL
REMEMBER THIS PERSON SEES YOU AS A LESSER
REMEMBER THIS PERSON’S WHOLE WAY OF BEING IS SEWN INTO THE IMPORTANCE THAT THEY REALLY ARE RIGHT AND YOU, AS A LESSER, IN DISAGREEING WITH THEM, SIMPLY HAVE TO BE WRONG
IF THIS PERSON CONSIDERED YOU A PEER, YOU WOULD BE A VOICE OF REASON TO BE RESPECTED AND CONSIDERED WITHIN THE DISCOURSE OF DISAGREEMENT
NOPE
TURNS OUT YOU ARE AN AFFRONT TO THE NATURAL ORDER
YOUR IDEAS ARE TRANSGRESSIONS
YOUR WORDS; THREATS
YOUR FOUL, CONTRARY, FOLLIES MUST BE VANQUISHED
YOU ARE IN THE WRONG TRAP
THE POWER OF THE PERMANENTLY RIGHT HAS SPOKEN
IT DIDN’T HAPPEN OVERNIGHT
SO WHEN YOU LOSE ANOTHER ARGUMENT, WHILE YOU ARE; RECONSIDERING YOUR VOICES, QUESTIONING YOUR MOTIVES, QUESTIONING YOUR VALUES AND REREASONING THE MINUTIAE OF REVELATIONS AND REVOLUTIONS…
THE WINNER IS BACK HOME; STILL FEELING SORRY FOR YOU WHILE GORGING IN THE GLORY OF VICTORY, THE WINNER IS BACK HOME, STILL FEELING SORRY FOR YOU WHILE GORGING IN THE GLORY OF VICTORY, EATING ‘CHEESY WOTSITS’ AND WONDERING WHY HIS DICK IS ORANGE.
LIKE A LOOSE CHAIN ON A BIKE
THAT SLIPS WHEN YOU RIDE
IT’S BROKEN
MAN IT’S BROKEN
WINNERS ARE INVESTED IN BEING RIGHT, WHOULD YOU WANT TO GIVE THAT UP?
SO WHILE YOU WASTE MORE TIME EXAMINING YOUR OWN CONSCIENCE, THE WINNER IS OUT THERE TELLING AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE THE TRUTH.
CEMENTING HISTORY
YOU KNOW THAT SUBJECTIVE REALITY DEMANDS THAT EVERYONE IS RIGHT AND WRONG AT THE SAME TIME
SO DO THEY, HOWEVER, IT DOES NOT APPLY IN YOUR CASE
YOU ARE A LESSER
YOUR OPINION IS LESS VALID
YOU ARE NOT VALID
IT IS WHAT IS EXPECTED OF YOU
YOU HAVE NO PEERS TO PROTEST TO
SLAVE
GO ALONG OR GET ALONG
PLAYGROUND BULLY
YOU ARE A DISAPPOINTMENT FOR DISAGREEING
YOUR BLEATS ARE DULY DISREGARDED
WALKING AWAY DOES NOT WORK
WAILING AWAY THE WATERWORKS
WASTES AWAY THE HURT
AS THE ABDICATION OF DIGNITY BECOMES THE NORM
DIGNITY REQUIRES DIGNITY
SEE HOW THE WRONG SHUNS THE COMPANY OF THE RIGHT
IF ONLY HE’D AGREE WITH EVERYTHING WE TOLD HIM TO AGREE WITH
HE WOULD STAY THERE FOR US WHERE WE NEED HIM
SUCH A SHAME
THE RIGHT CANNOT COMPREHEND THEIR PART IN YOUR DEFENESTRATION
OFFENDED AT YOUR ABROGATION
OBLIGED TO REINFORCE EVERYTHING WRONG ABOUT YOU
TO EXCULPATE THEIR VIRTUE
ESCAPING THE WRONG TRAP IS NOT EASY
REALISING YOU ARE IN IT IS THE START
IF ONLY
JUST
BEING RIGHT WAS ENOUGH
YOU ARE ONLY RIGHT WHEN EVERYONE AGREES WITH YOU
IF BEING RIGHT WAS EASY
YOU WOULDN’T BE IN THE WRONG TRAP
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN THERE?
THINK BACK
THINK BACK WHILE YOU STAY IN THE TRAP
“The greatest weapon against stress is our ability to chose one thought over another”
‘William James’
IS IT YOUR FAULT?
DOESN’T MATTER, ASKING THE QUESTION KEEPS YOU IN THE TRAP
FAULT DOESN’T MATTER, BLAME TETHERS YOU TO THE PAST
THIS IS HOW THE TRAP WORKS
IN FACT YOU ARE FEEDING THE DRAGON
YOU ARE GIVING IT WHAT IT WANTS
FUEL FOR IT’S FUTILE FIRE
PROVING WITH EVERY BREATH THAT THE RIGHT ARE EVEN MORE RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING
IT WILL FEEL FAIR TO THEM BECAUSE YOU WERE WRONG AGAIN
THEY WILL NOT UNDERSTAND WHY YOU CANNOT BE NEAR THEM
DO YOU SEE THE BARS OF THE CAGE YOU ARE IN?
HAVE YOU SEEN THE DOOR?
ARE YOU STILL LOOKING AT THE PAST?
HAVE YOU TIME FOR A QUICK LOOK AT YOUR RESPONSIBILITY?
