It seems to me that those who are most passionately opposed
to the currents of power
are those who are actually the most optimistic
about humanity.
For it is those who believe
that we deserve better.
It is those who believe that we are actually
better than we treat ourselves.
It is those who believe that we have the power
to empower ourselves and
the self-control
to be in control of our selves.
When we live in a society where the deeply optimistic
are targeted as terrorists
and their souls are devalued
with bullets and their bodies cut up
by tabloids pretending to be churches,
we can not be drugged into nihilism.
Instead we must drag ourselves out of this trench
and feel the slugs pierce our skin
and go through and through us
and exit into our dreams, leaving a hole for our dreams to bleed
into this world.
And when we run out of blood we can rot
into our own imagination.
And we will dissolve and our bodies
will become the Earth.
And the Earth will become balanced.
And the Earth will spiral back around
into a bionetic noosphere.
Because, honestly, I think the Earth is sick
of having a split personality
and we are here to bring you sanity.
