Distaste of the Political

there are those who frown upon talk of the political as if power struggles in their own lives simply did not exist--- they act as if the political only dealt with those vultures in suits whose talking heads bobble back & forth to the sound of coins bouncing & echoing in the coffers, but everything is political--- all aspects of human life counteract each other through movements of power be them small or large--- for the personal political & the universal political do not separate---they are not mutually exclusive & therefore to deny oneself an understanding of these realities in our present world, is to deny oneself of the very possibility to improve your own life as well as those living around you--- better to stay awake, even if sleep may be restful & though our final slumber may not be too far off, to close your eyes just because you don’t like what you see or cup your hands over your ears, just because you don’t like what you hear, only shows that YOU have instead developed a taste for denial & ignorance in OUR world.
