Checkpoint

What if our total experience

is managed by forms that are

beyond our cosmic constintuency?

What if our lives are not lived but

adhered, negated?

 

Love and rage,

peace and imperfections.

 

Each of us may well be unreal,

 

contolled by some future government

or gaming company.

 

What if our hardware wears out

and leaves our skeleton wanting?

 

Each one defined dimly

by the soft pixel blur

of the Earth.

 

Sometimes I genuinly feel

that my handler

has lost control

 

and I'm simply stuck on this level.

everyone wants to be controlled, dominated or handled. it is too difficult to think freely in a world that is moving at the speed of the hyper highway. the universe ever expanding at a rate we cannot measure. we are all stuck with glue and our skeletons are wanting to break out but dont know where to go..our muscles no longer wired up to the source as it is deseminated by its billions subscribers...we are like a hick shack in wales..a backward slow turning planet. always waiting for some one else to make us free.

Brilliant! I for one can really understand this piece more than many know. Even in our waking hours it seems there 'are' controllers that abuse us on a different level than our current conscience mind perceives, only the other day, I had the very real feeling of being Scalped. It is one of many incidents that defy 'most' people's level of understanding. These experiences have been happening for a long time for me. I have considered the possibility of voodoo at work and all manner of theories. My best theory though, is that we can be manipulated by 'other' forces. Forces at work keen to cause upset and mayhem. These experiences are so difficult to deal with on a daily basis, and it has been going on for years. I have had feelings of amputation, castration and beheading and I actually feel the pain and sometimes involuntarily move because of them. I also go through stages of shock because of these experiences. Since my days in the forces I have gone through a great deal of suffering and many don't understand how it affects me. I am sure you have an understanding of this kind of phenomena by the words you have written here.

Very intelligent piece that would scare many, but be welcomed by those who know of these kinds of sufferings.

Personally, I think the whole planet is susceptible to this.

Nice work.

best wishes,

Mike

Nothing else for it Kealan,
You`re just going to have to climb back into that cockpit and fly your
flamin` life yourself.

I'm with you! Lots of people are in this camp - do not feel alone! This 'concept' has gained great ground with our 'advanced' technology that shows us persons and events that we can no longer be certain are 'real life' or 'real time' (whatever those are supposed to be.) It really isn't far off the celebrated notion of 'all the world is a stage...etc.' which S. so aptly captured at the level of the not so magically educated.
