Meet The Clones

Meet The Clones

Meet the clones,

                The mindless majority,

Those who have lost their minds.

Meet the zombies,

                Who follow orders,

Without a thought.

Meet the termites

                Supporting their leader

Selflessly giving their lives.

Study the machine

                That feeds the fake news;

Dispenses propaganda.

See the system

                That uses brutality

To impose its lies.

Meet the elite

                Who prosper from

Exploitation and control.

Not enough people question what they are told. They follow like sheep and allow themselves to be controlled and manipulated.

Without the mindless zombies of security forces no tyrant can hold on to control. Their armies, torture chambers and secret police kill and brutalise without question. They are like termites feeding their queen.

So Putin orders his zombies into the Ukraine and they do what they are told. They kill for a lie.

Poetry – The Pursuit of Happiness

The Pursuit of Happiness

We’re all busy consuming.

It’s what we’re taught to do.

Buying and throwing away

Is the nation’s glue.

We’re using up the planet.

Making lots of people rich.

Destroying the thing we love.

Ain’t life a bitch?

The pursuit of happiness

Is to be found in ownership.

The more you have the more you are

All that matters is blue chip.

Some have much and some have none.

That’s the way it has to be.

We’re living the life of luxury

In the land of the free.

What good is having everything

If everyone has it too?

If money doesn’t buy us happiness

What are we to do?

Opher – 28.3.2021

It seems to me that we have lost our way. We do not have lives full of meaning, wonder and adventure. We live in a world where the only things that matter are status and fame.

It’s so empty.
