Creating Hell for Fun and Profit (excerpt)

Creating Hell for Fun and Profit (excerpt)
 
 
...
 
What becomes of unwanted children?
Pimped out or outright sold for
sadistic pleasures?
Dying on broken streets of disease
or violence, drugs of death, suicides?
Is this what you meant, what you demand,
vulture-eyed zealots rapt for your evil
deity?
 
...
 
Nobody likes to admit what casual cruelty we are capable of. Gang-raping children because we can doesn’t appeal to our desired self-image. Her mother allowed it in exchange for food, a place to sleep, the blessed drugs to keep away the pain of knowing the endless, hopeless misery life had become. Or, she was alone on that dark street, lost and frightened, with nowhere safe to go, no one protecting her just then. Her sexuality tempted me, in all that frenzy of bonding blood cries, heightened primal energies, hot insistent bodies falling under ritual spell. She is but a sacrifice, a holding cell for sin. There is no freedom for will to grow within her, only unwanted, tainted seed, thrust outward from the nauseous collective psyche to poison her potential. Does she need to be defined by what has been done against her nascent will?

Cruelty (excerpt)
https://nightspages.blogspot.com/ – {patchwork narrative} a flash fiction serial following the story of a child vampire, the eternal child monster working out that existence
 
Throughout night walks I see, touch their misery;
so many unwanted people, so much gratuitous cruelty.
Children thoughtlessly conceived, grudgingly expelled helpless,
let loose into the world without a friend.  All these people who
trust death much more than life.
A streak of compassion grasps my pondering mind, takes thought
into a whirl of streams.  I am drawn to wondering about mothers,
their archetype of loving protection.  How do beleaguered women
conscious of their inability to give what they lack, of their bleakness,
allow their children birth into useless suffering, into brutality?
Inculcated or innate, maternal imperative, moral responsibility to love
and protect, ought sound strong warning against prolonging
unfortunate gestation.  Certainly women have always shared knowledge,
means of ending what ought not have begun.  Or do they feel need for
outward manifestation of their sins of pleasure, of weakness, of
worthlessness?  Do they bear not blessings but images to punish,
a chain of blood and thorns as reminder and retribution?
,
Do potential mothers, pregnant with potential children
who have no interest in being born, diseased or
precognizant of earthly depredations, do they as
sympathetic hosts feel this horror of gestation’s
consequences?  Are these unborn the true instigators
of abortive maternal acts?  If their mothers are not able,
or sufficiently sympathetic, to comply, is suicide a
rectification, a severely late-term abortion.

politics of reality

 

Somehow no matter the debt we can
afford to wage war.  So much more
important to destroy than build up our people.
When we make sure our people have what
we need to thrive, we are more productive,
more creative, more valuable assets to our
nation. Resources pledged to war are not
meant to survive. 
Explain this economic sense.
 
 
 
 
Selected physical characteristics
(among all the possible characteristics)
do not equate to social roles.
 
 
 
Online Haters -- LOOK at how
you are presenting yourself!
Is this who you want to be?
 
 
 
 
a republic can not possibly represent
all of the needs and expressions of a
population in two parties, so those with
the most resources (as always) take the
lead -- we need to release our democracy
from political parties for it to function effectively,
to move to issues based constituencies
 
 
 
 
the disease isn't real?  I agree --
we are living in a simulation,
none of our lives are real.
 
 
 
 
doing productive work, being part of a
world larger than ourselves, this is basic
human psychological necessity for a good life. 
We have twisted ourselves into some kind
of gargoyle reality where we need to be punished
into work.  Maybe because most of that work is
not about serving the needs of our race (including
emotional/psychological/social needs) but about
tricking us into consumption
addiction for a game of profit.

social exchange

  

Don’t assume I intend to argue --
I am saying what occurs to me
as I scroll through my stream --
more like a greeting.
 
 
 
Why expend so much time/energy,
emotion
on people who ought not matter
to you – people you neither like
nor agree with?
 
 
 
Without reliable information
while we reside each in our pocket
beliefs pseudotribally,
it becomes not just a rupture of society,
it is the destruction of reality
 
 
 
it’s not just the money – I know you capitalists
can think of no better incentive, but people want
to feel respected, to feel like we matter that our
well being is important. We want to see that
evidenced in very real policies and benefits.
 
 
 
I have been grieving, for my life, for all those
feelings and knowings and sensing and communicating,
and – that are gone and unmourned, unknown and
without interest to any but me.  So why do I feel this
as grief, as important to grieve?
 
 
 
radical Republicans are engaging in
reckless endangerment on many levels

coping centers

 

Long ago, in the high ‘60s, I met a happy couple whose hobby was talking with strangers.  They put up signs on billboards to the effect of:  Want to talk?  Call [their number] between 8 pm and 2 am (or whatever the hours were that they were hanging out at home).  That is how I met them.  It was a simpler time, even in deepest Manhattan.  They didn’t get harassing calls, rather mostly people who just wanted to be heard.  Maybe they had a great idea, or something happened (good or bad) they wanted to share, or they wanted a sounding board to figure things out, or they liked conversation, or they were lonely.
 

Seeing a news report about the problems with accessing psychotherapists these days, it occurred to me that we would all do better to have neighborhood and online coping centers.  Places anyone can access to talk, to share emotional content, perhaps to engage in group therapies, art, community projects.  If no one needs payment, there are no barriers from insuranceu or lack of affordability.  Expenses could be shared by those who can, because this is a community effort for all of our benefit.  Health care professionals who like can not so much donate time as do their part as they see it.  The point is, we can all be heard, all share our human burdens of pain and confusion and our human resources of being listeners, growing a healthier future of companionship instead isolating into hate.

darkening air

 

 
do you have any idea the extent of toxins
in our blood just from breathing and drinking
water on our shamelessly polluted planet?
 
 
 
 
see, you wail and whine and scream and
foam at the mouth about "fiscal responsibility"
and "THE DEBT!!!" and "SOCIALISM!!!!" and such
so you don't have to actually be responsible
or care about the cost of your enthusiasms
 
 
 
It’s not the time
It’s the mileage
I’ve lived so many lives
in my years
 
 
 
I don’t have time
to go down your rabbit hole
-- I have a life to feed
(and I know rabbit holes so
much more fascinating than yours)
 
 
 
When I was young,
before I became completely defeated,
I was sincerely interested in
everyone I met – in my earnest quest
to figure out people.
 
 
 
If it comes to you like propaganda,
think it through.
If you don’t know how – get away from
all influence, become calm, become
clear, understand none of that social
frenzy is yours.
Think about what makes you feel
calm, relaxed, happy.
Do what makes you feel you.
 
 
 
It is reasonable to expect to profit
from good/desirable products/services
through honorable business practices.
No one is entitled to profit dishonorably.
 
 
 
I do what I do, say what I say,
for my reasons – not yours.

social studies

 

 
Only a talking filibuster could be given
credence as promoting bipartisan
communication – the “cloture” filibuster
is exactly an end to debate, a cutting off
of possible compromise.




perhaps no one ought go to college
automatically, but only when we have
a plan that includes the need for specific studies
 
 
 
They come in all sizes,
these creatures human people
love as nonhuman people
in our lives.
 
 
 
Fuckin’ freaks – needing deep personal
meaning, authentic self-integration to
feel secure in a manmade world
we are assured has no room for
who we must be.
 
 
 
I postulate: 
neurotypical people prefer not to
make the effort, expend the energy,
to seriously think.
 
 
 
Cynical partisans make issues of
such ideas as CRT, “defund the police”
by purposely misinterpreting their
actual meanings to make it easier
to vilify and obfuscate the real concerns.
 
 
 
These draconian anti-abortion laws
without exception for rape or incest
are quite telling as means to make rape
a better reproductive strategy for incels.
 
 
 
 
When we insist on funding from the
already overburdened, clearly we will
not have the needed resources to be able
to make the desirable differences.
 
 
 
Raised to hate ourselves
we never learn to love,
rather give that word to types of
usefulness, lose out on
life-changing amazements.
 
 
 
Who are sheep?  Who a flock?
Those who follow talking points,
revealed scripture, into  lines to be
fleeced and butchered for profit,
for entitled power.
