Dark Age
A dark age has come
It began with an idea
An idea like a virus
Destroying the immune system of the mind
Taking root in the anesthetized collective consciousness
Of a people tuned to four television networks
A couple of hundred cable channels
Several hundred radio stations
Tuned into a narrow bandwidth of experience
Primed for propaganda
Riveted to virtual reality
Blind to the continuous world beyond
Lulled into acceptance
Zombied masses devoted to the call
Of credit cards and consumption
Of obsession and compulsion
Mortgaged futures focusing the collective aim
To sustain the machine
To forfeit the option to say NO
To eliminate all options beyond submission
To march with the mindless corporate legions
To be PRACTICAL
To be practically nothing
Less than nothing
The instrument of the executioner
Who waits by the gallows
And takes away life
One piece at a time
One moment at a time
That moment you thought of the future
That moment you acted for the preservation
Of your possessions
That is the moment that was stolen
For nothing is yours
And everything is subject to early withdrawal
With penalty or without
Does it really fucking matter!
Either way you lose NOW
Now - this moment
That's all there is
That's all there ever was
That's all there will ever be
When you lose sight of that fact
YOU ARE DEAD
Stephen R. DeVoy
February 19, 1993 - San Diego
