In the new golden age of digital-enlightenment the quest for knowledge and/or a truth continues on much like the Star-ship enterprise replete with Klingon postiche that can end only in your reality beyond the Stars? And/or below ground zero. Energy that exists throughout all your lifetime's once self-activated that is and not as is presupposed released by the arrival of complex Messiah's of legends told; now long passed into childhood-histories.
I listen. I observe. I say often to the adjacent-wall albeit with tackiness in flux “fuck! me are these people brain-dead or what?” whilst surfing the latest state-alternative mass-medium radio-broadcast. The wall prefers no-comment in this equation but in tandem with the ceiling which I am allegedly often to be found dancing upon both look at me with disdain. But no bother you get used to an empty room when you are as insane as I am.
Can we? Could we? Would we? Then can I? Could I? Would I? Then can you! Could you! Would you! Hammers and/or nails thus fly hither agus thither in the true and uncertain hope that this one is the big one. Climbing down from my divine designer hand-made blood-stained wooden-iron inverted-cross which coincidentally cost me far in excess of thirteen in number pieces of sterling-silver and/or a shilling via the King. Thereupon; I now call upon my humanoid-Munchkins to let me explain further the mysteries of the alphabet.
The singular word communication becomes lost in translation as does the colloquial word of *fart when applied in conversation and/or action particularly so in public areas. The singular word of comment on the other hand will unleash a veritable flood gate of mindless greeting to one another; totally at odds with the broadcast intention of empowering their 'listener-ship'?
The answer to this half-remarkable question of what I hear most vocally expressed is the desire for an alternative communication that can be accessed by them to be held in 'proper' contention of state-proliferation of propaganda at a cost of zillions; allied with political-fiscal-religious-personality covert-agenda and that is the relatively inexpensive method of internet.
So what is it then that I am listening to? I ask myself. Is it not alternative-media as they so fervently desire already set before them. Can we? Could we? Would we? Conjoined phrases so often expressed within the realm of political schoolyards when a child and yet still promulgate of their supposed maturity into adult citizenship.
Fastrack: Citizens Arise? You now hold the creative expertise, the technological means, the virtual World @ your finger-tips. What more of need is required. Ergo. Listen* thereby Communicate*
Alternatively await the second-coming. Crucifixion to the right. Next?
