Ashes & Water
mixing of water from lourdes and ashes from the world trade center
incantation for a miracle...
voodoo against delusion, past and present.
a charm against the enemies of free thought - especially when it is struggling under the claws of patriarchy, unfettered capitalism, theism, or other slaveries.
a talisman against the manufacture of consent through television and what passes for education.
a slash at the snide smirk dancing on the lips of the arrogance of power.
dedicated towards a cure for the mindless crowd - a cold wet splash on the peasants with torches.
with sadness . . .and anger, directed at those who at the request of a nation, religion, corporation, culture, et cetera - line up at the prescribed, mass-produced, check-out counter - unquestioningly repeating cliches and following like sheep.
may this elixir burn up some of the daydream fog
awake the armies of sleepwalkers.
inspire regime change on all levels
from the political to the existential.
