Who Are These People Pt 5
Fire!
A pinnacle point in our evolution, providing protection, warmth.
Now the only fire we see comes in the form of terrorism and planetary attacks through war,
explosions of human conquest fueled by political power and national demonic democracy
Music!
Song and dance to honor the gods, to bring people together, and connect with the energy of
Earth moving our bodies as we let go to the power of sound.
Now all we see is music of manipulation, music controlling the mass population to
believe certain ideologies, to believe we have to be thin, to believe we have to be rich, to
believe we have to have a big house, to believe we have to have a nice car, to believe we
have to look a certain way or act a certain way, music that tells us who and what to be,
music of filth and sex, music promoting cheats and lies, music of power, music written by
invisible men sung by a sex symbol, music made not through the love of the art but made
with intentions of generating profit.
Who are these people?
Where did they come from?
