The Ides of Something are Upon us

It was the time of religious wars. It was a time of materialism and intellectual darkness. It was a time of epidemic moral compromise and the end justifying the means by whatever means. It was a time of the worship of the transitory and the elevation of drunken ignorance over the thirst for truth. Truth was a refugee in flight on a violent night. It was a time of deception and reaction toward the solution of freedom as an intolerable state and a non commercially viable condition. It was a time of precessions and regressions and a confusion of the moment on the doorstep of irrevocable change. It was a hard time to live in unless you were one of the few who made existence hard for everyone else. It was a time of images and symbols that were wielded as weapons upon superficial minds so inclined and submissive in a pornographic sexual exchange that mocked the true surrender of the deeper self to the higher awareness and all things human. It was a time of debasement for the virtues and a celebration of vice because it was a time of political correctness masking the hatred for all that was good and real.

  1. Great Video. For the 1st millisecond, I thought of a 1,000 years of Medieval Times… The Renaissance, The Age of Discovery and The Industrial Revolution, seemed like prosperous and innocent times. Then I was immediately catapulted into today, starting with the American Revolution. What can I say…this is today…I am mostly concerned with Tomorrow, not today. They say, vengence is the Lord’s Business, but I would volunteer to lend my sword and my hand, a shield I do not need, anything to hasten the demise…of today.

  2. [...] An evocative video by Snordelhans who has his YouTube channel here, producing “protest dialogue” from eclectic collections of writings. [...]

  3. i dunno. we in the west dont have too much to whinge about. go and look at some slums in africa or asia….

    • ahh but its all relative my friend..as i said in a previous comment..we are bound by our system as much as someone in a slum is bound by theirs..
