Don’t
forget you’re alive.
Joe Strummer
The truest
things are best expressed in the simplest way…
We take
life for granted, we complain, we’re not satisfied, we want more of something
and less of another…
We want to
be out of the rat race but we still want to be part of the gang… We shout our
individuality but we want to blend in… And the advertisement industry is well
aware of that… They tell you you’re unique but in order to be more unique
you’ve got to buy their product because you’re worth it… aren’t you?
I’m sick of
that…
Went to see
an exhibition about the punk movement some time ago… they tell you the punks
were against the society, against the system… yeah right… like the Sex Pistols
weren’t just another product… they just exploited the anger of the youth, they
made money out of it… but the youth was happy, they thought that at last some
people understood their anger and frustration… yeah right…
Just like
in 2008 when someone promised hope… yeah right…
the packaging was different but you were sold the exact same product… ok
… maybe not the exact same… a slightly
different flavor but the main ingredients remained unchanged… and it’s the same
all over the world… and all over the world people take the bait… why? Why is
mankind so brainwashed… why ?
Pane et
circe or junk food and TV… seems like we always end up in the same pitfall… the
snake bites its tail but this time it might be fatal… the resources are not
infinite and like the life we’re living, we are taking them for granted, we act
like they will be here always…
This rant was written a few months ago... but my views are still more or less the same... thought I'd share... I know it could upset some people... please forgive me...and feel free to comment...
i think - or rather i have the niggling persistent feeling that the snake has arrived at its head
ReplyDeletereminds me of the film caligula - big pit on the way, hell...
don't even want to go there, probably an analogy that needs a little qualifying
