Bezirke

“Bezirke”



Bit by bit 
we build our walls
strict little districts
to pin our minds on
and keep the paper tigers out

Political Romantics
counting sheep 
and numbers 
we walk in our sleep
dreaming of doors

Opening inward
externally we are Bezirke
socialised in a stolen concerto
solo instruments with flat musical 
composition, indoctrinated

sucked in
sucked up
hypnotised 

by the totalitarian state
for our best interests 
mesmerised
moving our hips
licking their lips

Bit by bit
we build our walls 
Strict little districts
to pin our minds on
and keep the paper tigers out

"A Hive Mind has no need for each individual part to have a positive idea of the whole, and to then repress its own inclinations by means of this idea. But in human totalitarianism, this is the central phenomenon, because they are all performing the same internal repression."



"The term “hive mind” refers to the apparent intelligence that emerges at the group level in some social species, particularly insects like honeybees and ants. ... Clearly the assimilation of human into a hive mind is supposed to be a bad thing, according to the writers of Star Trek: a unified consciousness or intelligence formed by a number of alien individuals, the resulting consciousness typically exerting control over its constituent members."

Frederic Parker April 14, 2020 at 6:49 PM we are what we are, no more no less, we are a greedy selfish petty animal unfortunately given a brain we neither understand nor can control, generally speaking, we are at heart a creature of many fears that tends to flap our mouths in a loud roar as if we were lions, we are not lions, we band together like field mice in search of corn, sometimes I wonder how my species has made it this far on this perilous journey through time, I laugh at our stupidy and cry for its reasons Lady Labyrinth April 14, 2020 at 7:23 PM Big Brother is watching....it's becoming increasingly Orwellian.
