transplanted

we live in the days of transmutated disfiguration. we have the technology to reform and remold our human inheritance. we no longer are blessed with the limits of our flesh. the medium of our flesh can be stretched, twisted and mixed into something other than ourselves. same bodies buried hungry but with different last names. if we can take the consented tissue from the brain-dead, can we steal souls? how much of a donated body can we mutilate for our desires? we still worship the facelift at the cost of the mind.

fearmongerer

do you live in fear? do you lock your doors, windows and still worry about the chimney stock? our movies, music and culture are being stolen and sold back to us. the return of cultural appropriation karma, it's only fair. have you heard about the new dangers electric toothbrushes pose? products that will harm and damage your loved ones. my friend tells me he purchases the crappiest toothbrushes simply because there is no way they can ruin his teeth.
there are greater things of concern to destroy your peace of mind. america has placed herself firmly on the extremist christmas list. so is canada. though i doubt we will just receive coal. beware of who represents you, as justice now wears blinders. and money will not bring you happiness. possibly not even affordable healthcare. there is nothing left that is not already on the official warning list. everything can kill you and people are dying, everyday.
all this time we have been gathering objects to surround our lives under our security blankets, while the floor has been slowly pawned off by hands underneath. inspite of our greatest financial attempts, we will end in a dark place. the only thing left are those around you. push them away and you will be left alone with your fear.
"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."
--- Frank Herbert, Dune - Bene Gesserit Litany Against Fear

separation

leave already. take your unaffected drama, disinfected dreams, and reinvented decision making process, pack it all up and leave. perhaps travel will do both you and vous some good. as we walk our differing ways, please keep in touch. what made canada special were the moments that shaped our collective lives, but perhaps it is time to gather our separate identities. fare thee well, all my provinces and territories. pleasant journeys and return someday and let us look upon each other with fonder eyes.

trustworthy

those of us who lie on the northern shores, those of us who rely upon those who lie to us upon the northern shores, a curse on you. we demand only that which is mutual, the respect given to those who are friends. you have no honour when you spit on your friends. shame on those who ask for trust when they themselves break their trust. canada and america, when will you ever grow up?

heaven

there is no heavenly portal open for your abcesses, no operating table for your terror of id. cancer shall consume the consumer at the price of a barrel, the bargaining end of a gun. this is the end of our way of life. now we must scatter, taking with us the greatest shards of what was once our global existence, and rebuild. our streets shall remain empty, desolate. we could not share, and so we have lost paradise.

traveller

wander far from your place of comforter, dear traveller coursing through the multitudes? path your way past the endless and face yourself. where are you going? toronto will rain and you without our advice. tsk. tsk.
come back once you have gone astray, awry of that which you look for. we will be here to bear witness to life in the machine. the movement of the gears, the levers and cogs. testify.
