as was assured, leave our medium of
communication to images, for images
are more provocative and easily translated,
well sure... given that phonetics
has become so ugly you are reduced to
:) (smiley) and ;) (smiling with a wink of
assurance), and the acronyms by
the number: CUL8R (see  you later)...
no wonder then... defiling a mode
of communication so dear makes me wonder...
when will the era of abstraction
end, to end the splashes of colour
without definite contorts of
a visage cease to be?
take a dollop of **** and smear
it on canvas ought to be revolutionary,
by now, i'm sure... because it's just that;
it's like we're illiterate again,
first the clergy governed the literacy rates
and made people idiotic, maximising
on the electorate with Pope Erasmus,
now they're pulverising us with images
to sit, calm and comfortable with a pair of
underwear filled with ants...
pulverised by images we reduced phonetic
representation of writing letters to
no avail, instead shortening our acumen
to representation of being pulverised by images:
like c and see... sea... set sail...but there's no land ahoy!
