Side-Effects of Civilized Idiocy

side-effects of “civilized” idiocy chronic western perpetual stress--- side-effect of the neon lit metropolis side-effect of the wonderful illusion of “democracy” side-effect of the dog-devour-dog reality of capitalism, always growing stronger, always eliminating other forms of life, always eliminating other ways of life, always demanding to the population of the world that this is the way of the present & this is the way of the future--- keeping us alert 24/7, keeping the eyes open staring at screens, keeping the ears peeled with mass quantities of decibels thumping wildly into our eardrums, keeping the body a’twitch, keeping the insides paranoid, keeping the body wallowing (overweight & difficult to shed it, underweight & difficult to gain it), keeping the heart pounding, keeping the muscles tense, keeping sleep & rest a long distance away, keeping us in a constant moment of response to whatever echoes around us, regardless of whether this stimulating destructor is in fact something to be terrified of at all & this is how we count the coffee spoons this is how we grow old & die this place that we have manufactured is no long for our living so we push ourselves to develop the coming machines that will replace us & they live amongst us now, doing things 5 times faster than we ever hoped & never tiring, without the need to worry about the deterioration of an organic body without the need to suffer from what will inevitably do all of us in who still have blood flowing in our veins.
