I've said it before, I'll say it again...Words fail. Metaphorically...

If humanity is to survive what appears to be the inevitable Apocalyptic consequence of the insatiable all consuming modernism with any semblance of civilized moral dignity,we must abandon our servile support of the compromised popular icons of material success.Arcane symbols of terrestrial power,and distractive flags of convenience,are insufficient to the needs of the 'collateral base', the poorest and the most disadvantaged. We may not all be emperors or kings,nor may we yet be gods, no matter how well intended our naive apologies. There are not enough crumbs now to even feed the opportunistic entourages that hover like buzzards, awaiting high table favours,let alone feed the poor.
"The poor are always with us." Begs the question, 'What do we think we are?'
Conditional aid,distributed with the assistance of patronizing invading armies, sweetened with the promise of prestige and luxury,will do nothing to obviate the cyclical misery of those furthest from the feeding troughs at the pyramids' base.
Initiative must be taken individually to equip ourselves with the means to regenerate life support far beyond the flat earth blurred visionaries' watchtower gaze,the vantage point of historic slave masters.One may observe that the principles of universal civilization,our evolved genetic code,may not have the whole hearted subscription,other than token lip service and the cynical pragmatic posturing, by the executives of failed and fading empires,both secular and sectarian,jointly and severally.The common aspiration of civilization by conduct must be seen to transcend the 'bottom line' motivation that drags all nations' standards,divisively into disrepute.
Pirates ,entrepreneurs, manipulative exploiters,slavers and carpet baggers,individual and corporate,inclusively,await in the wings of the Theatre of Tragedy like stray dogs around a butchers door. Natural disasters compounded by the ever accelerating man made crisis provide an open season for profiteers.
Competitive living is encouraged in schools and homes,to have winners in any bipolar struggle there must be losers.To the victor the spoils.
How are the surviving poor to avoid being divided like loot, for use and abuse by unworthy masters. Will they survive with any degree of humane dignity at all. Some would say not. Already, mock Class War scenarios are orchestrated in Police training exercises to acclimatise to the predictable chaos that would engulf all nations globally.Failed radicals indulge in self appeasing barricade photo opportunities,Acting like monkeys who think they are the leaders of men, speaking of, 'necessary violence', with too much certainty, as though it was a forgone conclusion.
Is there any viable sustainable hope for the possibility of civilization,regardless of perceived class and economic division, emerging with equitable grace from the storm of madness that is steadily engulfing the world? Views may differ,we may be assured of little but the certainty that Global Disaster,in all it's incidental varied forms will be no respecter of privilege, or rank. nor academic intelligence.Whether tsunami or earthquake,famine civil unrest or outright war,to name but a small sample of the many doom laden fates that may befall us, Every tribe and every species that ever made a mortal progress on this planet faces possible extinction, without exception.
What may we do to obviate the existing misery and steer a course that leads to the one sustainable singular,probability of universal, progressive, integrated civilization?
The way forward is the simple choiceless option.....
