HUMAN
I AM A HUMAN RIGHT?
People often forget that says Justin Bieber
in an age when what it means to be human is
in a state of ill-repute A horrifying litany of
daily statistics: Sunni ISIS militants consider
200 million Shiites apostates in need of slaughter
Or North Darfur in October 200 women+daughters
raped in 36 hrs. Then there is the Democratic Republic
of Congo where 400,000 women were violated in one
year (2006-2007)
A new term has been coined to describe the mayhem in
the Levant: Islamo-facism And this is just the tip In Halifax
3 youths enamoured of serial killers+school shooters plan a
mass-murder on Valentine’s Day In his treatise on human love
(+Lies) Clancy Martin philosopher U of Missouri notes: A great
deal of how well we love has to do with how well we lie both to
ourselves & to each other
He goes on to argue that a well honed ability to bend the truth is a
necessity the glue if you will of human love An exercise in Hope
versus Honesty It is also true that the current wave of death-cult
debauchery must be addressed this slow+casual atrophy of the
human soul no less
Are you brave enough to ask your partner staring off into space:
What are you thinking? What creative manipulations evasions
misrepresentations lurk in the average human soul? Think of the
apple Think of life in our apocalyptic-eden We higher beings have
perfected damnation We are not animals We are Man
