Forget the political and historical blather and the managed mainstream news coverage, we are headed inexorably toward an event or events that cannot be prevented or sidestepped. Life rarely comes with happy, Hollywood endings and we all have entered a time in which the future will not be bright and without substantial pain. And itâs been like this for millennia. We just choose to forget, not remember, that civilization repeats the same mistakes when confronted with the same issues no matter the epoch. Only one thing is for sure: human behavior never changes.
Be Angry at the Sun --Robinson Jeffers 1941 That public men publish falsehoods Is nothing new. That America must accept Like the historical republics corruption and empire Has been known for years. Be angry at the sun for setting If these things anger you. Watch the wheel slope and turn, They are all bound on the wheel, these people, those warriors, This republic, Europe, Asia. Observe them gesticulating, Observe them going down. The gang serves lies, the passionate Man plays his part; the cold passion for truth Hunts in no pack. You are not Catullus, you know, To lampoon these crude sketches of Caesar. You are far From Danteâs feet, but even farther from his dirty Political hatreds. Let boys want pleasure, and men Struggle for power, and women perhaps for fame, And the servile to serve a Leader and the dupes to be duped. Yours is not theirs.
NOTHING'S WHAT IT SEEMS --Benny and the International Texans
The unconcerned fool that you are, you better wake up and see The shadowy kings of the earth, they'll take away your pride and your dignity Steal every dime you have And leave you holding the bag
Something's going on You know it's not the way it's supposed to be There's something very wrong This nightmare that you're living's really not a dream Nothing's what it seems
Right is wrong, good is bad; reality is redefined Baby can't you figure it out, the Ministry of Truth is messing with your mind They sent you to the government schools Where they taught you not to break the rules
The mighty people that once had it all Now they've got our backs against the wall Make us beg; make us crawl While the world cheers our meteoric fall
They closed the banks today; gotta turn your brother and your money in Went by the church today; it might be the last chance to save your skin Fought your way through the crowd Just to see they burned it down
Something's going on You know it's not the way it's supposed to be There's something very wrong This nightmare that you're living's really not a dream Nothing's what it seems
