The Splice of Life


“The Splice of Life”



When colour 
was to be 
washed out
of the world 

the evil ones 
didn’t care

the Actor led 
with his 
Dementors 
either side of him

Laundry, 

they resolved 
to be the best 
pristine method 
for separating 

unnecessary 
colours 
from the wash
time to unfold

for you see,
we’re considered
all just - lost,
wet socks

it’s a dirty business
making life
clean again
time entertains 

while "They"
continue their 
large load wash,
it moves on 

in no time 
at all;

the ignorant
do not see
what is in 
the wash

TikTok
TikTok

they are 
much too much 
hypnotised by the 
superficial

self-absorbed 
by the gold dust

TikTok 
TikTok

Nothing 
has changed 
since then,
the science 
of washing

rages on silently, 
like a virus 

it infiltrates the
soap-washed cache
cashing in
on all 

the sleeping gormless, 
unnecessary useless units
to be washed, folded
and finally ironed out

young 
and old

It coldly calculates
the necessary
splice of life 
benefits 

while we dream
drugged in our sleep,
Bohemians place us 
on their alters 

what remains 
fresh and still 
human 
in us

They, in hushed 
rituals remonstrate,
nothing must go
to waste

we 
are placed 
in a neutral state 
of sustainable grace

organs are sold 
in the goblin markets
they listen, and 
they watch futures

the pipes 
in hearts 
and minds
smoked and played 

like priests
being blown 
ecstatically 
away 
immaculate

blood keys 
in their mojo pouches
notes singing 
tralala all the way

reptilian 
velociraptors

green-backed 
DNA
in their well-oiled palms 
stroking away

it’s a small price 
to pay, 
to diminish
numbers vapid 

to those
more easily 
persuaded 
to obey

there is vermin 
in the well-fed
hidden underbelly
eating us all up 

from the 
inside out
washed out 
soulless vessels
 
they remain
preying,
perched like hungry
dark vultures

sitting in their
highest rafters 
sorting the 
wheat from the chaff

watching their
drugged, docile 
lab mice breeding,
rutting their dreams away

it doesn’t matter 
which damned house
they count, they lay the 
cheese traps in, 

republican 
democrat
are still rats 
eating rats

underneath the 
feathers
vermin crawling 
with fleas

are slowly
cannibalising
The Lot
of us

there is a sickness
in this world
that is more 
than just 

Armageddon
pestilence

scientists 
and their
puppeteers
quasi masters

playing God 
with owl idols 
in their 
pig pens

little men 
in big pants
dancing naked
over cocktails
playing children 

the Spice of Life
then sashays in
it raises its ugly
Voldemort head

Its stomach is a 
bottomless pit 
rabidly commanding 
it be continually fed

all rank

offering the 
fast food 
servitude 
of the turgid within 

TikTok 
TikTok

another
cycle begins

"Bilderberg"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilderberg_meeting

"Partly because of its working methods to ensure strict privacy and secrecy, the Bilderberg Group has been criticised for its lack of transparency and accountability. The undisclosed nature of the proceedings has given rise to several conspiracy theories, which have been popular at both extremes of the political spectrum, although there is disagreement about the exact nature of the group's intentions. Some on the left accuse the Bilderberg group of conspiring to impose capitalist domination, while some on the right have accused the group of conspiring to impose a world government and planned economy."

“The Spice of Life” / Proverbial saying. 
Late 18th century; originally as a quotation from the English poet William Cowper (1731–1800) in The Task (1785): ‘Variety's the very spice of life, That gives it all its flavour.’ An earlier version is found in the The Rover (1681) by the dramatist Aphra Behn (1640–89), ‘Variety is the soul of pleasure.’ The Greek dramatist Euripides (c.485–c.406bc) in his Orestes has, ‘a change is always nice.’

That’s because dear Woodrow, the majority have been dumbed, numbed down docile and ignorant. The majority have become an unenquiring, mass media consuming herd – what you don’t know, can’t hurt you, do what the man says and go with the flow. Do your bit as a god-fearing, good citizen and just do what you are told. Many don’t have the time to investigate further because they are too intent on becoming androids permanently attached to mobile phones taking selfies and raising awareness of how easy it is to lose the concept of being ‘humane’. Certainly don’t rock any boats – political, religious, ideological, societal. That was the plan; that is the plan, isn’t it?

I made it easier for those who do have enquiring minds, and do take the time to look into the truth of what is occurring in this world and look into the small print, that many ignore. I must confess, I have fallen into that category on many occasion, not reading the small print. It was the footnotes 28 & 29, at the bottom of page 72, Chapter 3 (“Concerns about playing God), that elicited me to write this narrative. Footnote 29, specifically, regarding colour. The truth always comes out in the wash eventually. It’s usually at the end of a cycle. Perhaps what's going on in our world is a fabrication (it's all a conspiracy), a fantasy like many poems and short stories written by me and others. Of course, let us not forget, we have the freedom to choose...to read, do, move on and ignore, right? Delighted you found it a great read/write.

great write and the report was a review of my college days in the 80s and nothing has really progressed since then as far as gene therapies go; all still in clinical trials after all the known methods have failed for certain conditions; very odd was the sudden introduction of mRNA and viral vector vaccines...of the 3 provided here in USA; not a one of the companies uses recombinant or subunit types which of all the types were the most effective! now they are pushing more boosters due to substandard vaccines with mega-profits! Too bad most will never bother to read so much info :)
