THOUGHTS ON BULLYING
~~~

( ---- like an epidemic
         Sweeping thru the culture

Especially amongst the YOUNG )

••                  

every act of disrespect

Every act of insensitivity

Of treating another as Alien

/:::/

Is actually an act of

SOCIAL TERRORISM

Which at the personal level
The one on one level

We call BULLYING

/:::/

Which we mistakenly limit to a recurrent but still
isolated incident ,

But / upon further reflection / we notice that these
incidents are often of a POLITICAL SIGNIFICANCE

In the same way that GANGS  ----- lawyer up ---- and enter
POLITICS and POLITICAL PARTIES

& POLITICAL PARTIES ( as GOVERNMENT )
take on all the characteristics of GANGS
as they start spying on and terrorizing
The population
and basically using their Power as a form of
PROTECTION RACKET

////

We too / internalize these tactics of Control /
and legitamatise them into SOCIAL NORMS
hence
BULLYING

( especially in the School System )

The Schools being where the kids turn into
Lab rats in a maze
and into
BRICKS IN THE WALL

//:://

This TERRORISM / BULLYING

as SOCIAL NORM

is primarily seen in that aspect of a child's life
Where the child is most sensitive

The EMOTIONAN LIFE
the ****** LIFE

••

First / thru the Media
The child is bombarded with
Images of Wanton ****** excess
And always within a commercial setting///

The body as COMMODITY
as PHYSICAL    OBJECT

///

One ATTAINS one of these OBJECTS

if one is  / WORTHY !
( has POWER )

meeting this object
And  KEEPING this object

Becomes a totally INDUCED PREOCCUPATION

and / as it is being played out in young minds /

It is a total MIND CONTROL OPERATION

Instilling IDEAS and ATTITUDES that will last
A lifetime

POLICAL ATTITUDES !

The acceptance of VIOLENCE at all levels
of experience

So early / and so deeply ingrained / that the VIOLENCE seems NORMAL

and then the child becomes dependent on GOVERNMENT
for protection

///////

now / let us look at ourselves thru

OUR OWN EYES !
the eyes of
OUR OWN POETRY

••

The subtlety of our BULLYING !

I LOVE YOU !
YOU HURT ME SO BAD
I AM FORCED TO HURT MYSELF !

This is so obviously simply BULLYING the other person into
doing what you want

I HATE YOU NOW !
AND I HATE YOUR NEW PARTNER !
MAY YOU BOTH GO TO HELL !

The hidden threat is obvious !

This is TERRORISM !

••

The main property of

TERRORISM / BULLYING

Is the way it induces CONFORMITY
into the society

Anyone who stands freely outside these INDUCED SOCIAL NORMS  is harshly labelled and ostracized

This of course begins in the schools ( as you must know )

Words like

FREAK / GEEK / NERD / LOSER / LONER
Etc

Abound // but it is the EMOTIONAL UNDERPINNINGS of these words which are used as a meals of legitimating VIOLENCE that we must notice

VIOLENCE against these OUTCASTS / REBELS become tolerated  by AUTHORITY  

and all Youth is divided
And INNOCENCE RENDERED IMPOTENT  

//

Now

I could go on and on
( and on )
And on  !

With examples

But we all have read ourselves !

///

So
I am just asking that we all examine ourselves
And ask

WHERE DO MY IDEAS ORIGINATE FROM ?

WHY

DO WE HURT EACH OTHER AND THUSLY
OURSELVES THIS WAY ?

Perhaps then
We will see who are friends should be

And who are enemies are
