Pick Up the Torch

had Julian been even a sparkle in his mom’s eyes when Ray put the pen to Fahrenheit 451, one might have witness the light being passed straight from one hand to the next--- from Zamyatin to Huxley & from Huxley to Orwell & from Orwell to Mr. Bradbury & from Mr. Bradbury to Burgess, from Burgess to Atwood & onward & as one picks up the torch, cranking the floodlights on the dastardly deeds of the empire at hand 12 more flick on their lighters, 17 more strike matches & light candles, whilst the flashlights, the spotlights, the headlights, the energy saving sunlight bulbs & even the bug lights, all spread like rampant wildfire throughout the world, continuing the tradition (one of the few worth keeping)--- Julian & Wikileaks, Anonymous & LulzSec, should not be assaulted but instead hailed for what they are doing, as the work they are producing is of immeasurable value to our species--- they all run with the flame burning bright & though idiots across the board still buy into the propaganda peddled by the masters spending $5 billion a year in the campaign to brainwash more of us citizens into numbness, we who work in the light unafraid of these attempts still failing miserably on us, raise our lights in unison for one day this world will be lit perpetually, and not the largest industrial blower of any kind promulgated by the powers that be, will be able to extinguish it.
