SHUN THE HAND

Storm against

The bars and stars

You pledged allegiance to

In the molding of your schooling

You are not

Fodder for the warring steel

If you can grow your own next meal

The unfolding of your schooling

Powerless

Against the razor steel

Peeling whiskers from your chin revealing

That Windsor tether to your schooling

Rise up

Dilate the cage of your crumpled form

When you face the truth you’ve long ignored

Since the scolding of your schooling

You are

The key to the cage

Not in rage but the will to disengage

From the emboldening of your schooling

Free

To walk away from your servers

Costing more than that tie could ever earn

No longer tethered to your schooling

This is what my asylum echoed while I was reading Bite the Hand, by my friend Pisces Iscariot at the Far Queue. We're saying the same thing from our own unique reality tunnel. Vive l'varietie

REFLECTIONS ON "THE FAR QUEUE"

I have long been a fan of Pisces Iscariot's Far Queue and now find myself in somewhat more than agreement with his perspective of the human condition in that my evolving approach to expressing my thoughts has taken on a preference for the cushion of fiction, or better yet, the expressions of others' perceptions to illustrate my own, as my last couple of posts have.

This time he has simply posted a Matt Groening "Life in Hell" cartoon that evoked this comment,

No one escapes childhood unbroken, either by being made part of the culture or by becoming obsessed with the system by revolting against it — never examining the myth which makes it appear necessary. It takes a rediscovery of our preexisting connectedness as parts of one nature at birth to discover the myth behind our cultural filter on reality, "family" values and assumed ownership granted by a creator.

As stated earlier, this blog will be devoted to fiction and quotes. For more direct discussions of the human condition I have begun a new blog, Dualitytilaud, for those who can discuss the myth curiously rather than in offended defense and the threshold without choosing sides for winning.
