The world continues to burn.
Everyone has an agenda, but
no one has a game-plan on
how to stop the greedy from
gaining more power and the
powerful from becoming more
greedy.
“Big Brother” has his false eyes
on us, watching our every move.
Will we give our last penny to
their bullsh*t plan to alleviate
pain?
Will we morph into another
mark to make on their to-do
list?
I am falling out of love
with a place that once brought
me laughter and peace, but I
still have all my limbs and I
am not a childless mother.
I haven’t had to watch my
baby burn alive or combust
spontaneously with the push
of a button from an evildoer.
I have no murdered husband
or instantly exploded wife to
mourn; I just sit here after
devoting 8 to 9 hours of each
day increasing the net worth
of someone else, and I drown
my pain in fiction that feels real.
And while I monitor my
screen-time; both portable
and stationary devices, I can’t
help but notice how much of
my privacy is no longer private.
They’re in our thoughts.
In our foods and
clothing, too. They invade
our dreams and slaughter the
main character who is seemingly
doing well.
Because the moment you
begin to think things will
get better, the greedy and the
powerful and the “Big Brother”
with false eyes remind you
better is a century away.

“I drown my pain in fiction that feels real.” Yes! So do I.
How tempting it is to harden our hearts and become completely cynical. It takes courage to continue to feel.
You’ve express your mixed feelings so powerfully, Tre.

Entirely randomly I decided, a couple of days ago, to start rereading 1984 and, since then, there have been numerous blogs incorporating ideas and passages from the book. Are we all seeing fiction becoming fact, or a resurgence in today’s events?

I think we are all HYPER AWARE of the similarities of the book as it relates to our current times.
Also, The Handmaid’s Tale isn’t too far off. It makes me shudder. It seriously does. 😦

A Sound Alarm! Age Old but once again, Instantly Urgent. There’s nothing free about Free Market Late Stage Capitalism. It’s all faux and protected by manufactured political betwixt and between.
Greed knows no creed, which helps explain why they are currently funding the very future that will/could/should facilitate their own demise.
And it won’t take a century. A quantum change is coming, and that entanglement harbors the social and fiscal bankruptcy of these ever-present plutocrats trying, over and over again, to capsize the people’s Ship Of State.
Well that’s my 2 cents. How U B ?

I’m just trying to hang in here the best I can, Doug. It’s all enough to make you lose the last bit of sanity one has left, but I’m yet still holding on.
I hope you are well. I noticed you’ve made some more changes to the site. 😊
