and in our childhood we beheld the beauty of theocracy - all of us - bedazzled by it, enthralled by it, we reached the pinnacle there and then - in our childhood we beheld the beauty of theocracy - each and every one of us cherubs worthy a plucking for the heavenly choir - and like Adam and knowing through to Eve and un-knowing that a man might riddle trousers with a kilt - just like that, it's not a belief in god that's required - far from it - in childhood we sensed theocracy - the grand hall oratory place of inconvenience - a talk to the hand moment; thank yous and not yous - we were too young to formulate a being as grand as god - too young - even though it was implanted in us by others that came prior - we're maturer now, it's not the idea of god - we were young and the prospect always hanged in the air of inhibition - we weren't entirely eager to exhibit prayer and petulance equally - in childhood as in nostalgia (for the two are equal in meaning - a rarity to remember outside childhood, romanticism and whatnot) - in childhood as in nostalgia it's not god we're searching for, it's more or less: theocracy - we're nostalgic about a system of politics that overshadows what came with the fall / maturity of man - man answered democracy! and so it was - our version of politics always sends a shiver down my spine - belief in the midgets of the caricature of spine-and-wing is not that far apart - no one in their truest mindset is searching for a god in order to receive ridicule, not a personal god that overpowers a man's personality to a U-turn abstract of what was formerly known of a man - against the strain of that some champion as necessary: individuation - the pressure to a coup d'individu - that sort of god isn't there - the pressure is to find a the once intrinsic theocracy of childhood - now that we have the governing body of democracy hanging over as: demo politics - demonstrative, demanding, debatable and... debatable - and to merely think outside democracy is to have a thought of an autocrat and a mouth of a slave - otherwise you're just mouthing everyone to a lullaby of intrinsic Tory toff-ha-ha. we're not missing god, god is hardly dead, it's that we don't have the same theocracy that children have governing them - we have democracy - finding god in singleton-land of proofs is about as good as finding a teardrop in a sea - it means abandoning your personality in order to skip the hardships for the perks - who is anyone to collect knee-bending at the altar? why wouldn't an Orthodox attendee of a church in St. Petersburg let me sit in church while the choir sang? oh right... the priests here still have their backs to the people when reciting the testimonies - and this simply sprung to mind after reading a psychiatrist or anti- write out his the bird of paradise (1967, r. d. laing), a psychiatrist opens up and thinks he's writing prosaic poetry - great in theory - i mean lucid, frank, simplistic, but the conundrum comes when no theory is passed down - no hereditary intellectualism - nothing, starting from scratch - that's the existential brick-wall of notation focusing on the i the existentialists used - the unit they thought they could bounce theories against and get some original echo back... the only originality that came back was mere criticism - nothing more. i'm not looking for god - why is anyone looking for him? everyone in democracy has this sudden urge to become a cult-leader or despot? it seems so... i'm looking for theocracy - in the democratic spirit of transition that's been given to me - so funny... god is an uncertainty but death is a certainty - strangely-funny how the two never seem to coincide - unless in the mouth and eyes of a madman who shoots you at point blank range and says the words: time to meet you maker; Jack'oh Wacko.
