secret lamentations of modern man by Tarek Hassan mass media and unaccountable agencies contribute to the progressive erosion of democracy and the direction of human energies less in the service of life and more in the service of power *Otototoi : a lamentation sound used by Euripides in his dramas **Freud and
Bernays collaborated to devise inroads to manipulate public opinion.
At the time they called it the manufacture of consent. They did’nt
dream of the advent of television and mass
media. mirror mirror on
the wall...
Ototototoi* i
was born the gentlest of them
all...
and then I was brutalised
beyond recognition beyond recovery
and they called
it maturation socialization
education procreation perpetuation Glorious glory
all Gloria And then I lost
myself.. forever? Dismantled
disintegrated separated manipulated And then I was to take life’s journey dying of
thirstin a pool of pure reason and excellent
logic We all live in a yellow submarineDying of thirst in the
fountain The separation and thist is so
great so great and then i shall break and that which is not love shall be love to
me
and kindness shall be love
and tolerance shall be love
and charity shall be love
and success shall be love
and pity shall be love i shall break and that which is untrue i shall think it
true
i shall make it true
...to rest... and my thirst shall be so terrifying that that which is
not water i shall think it water
...and rest... and i shall be
not the plant that thirsted for
water
not
the flower that yearned for love
but i shall be that that i
thought
...to rest... i shall be that that i
think
..and rest..
and i shall drown myself in imaginary
water
synthetic water and i shall drown
myself in imaginary love
synthetic love
acted love love that i think it
love
water that i think it water
...to
rest.. and i shall make worlds of perfect
reason
synthetic worlds
imitation worlds
substitute worlds and i shall build them higher ...and higher ..and
higher and i shall make them stronger ..and stronger ..and
stronger
..and i shall raise this world of lies above all
things
for not to know the horror of my
thirst
..and i shall protect this
World
preserve it
conserve it I shall kill for it
cherish it
protect it
above
all things
for
not to know the horror of my poverty
and of my thirst.. and i shall drown myself in this mountain of synthetic
worlds
for to forget my thirst
deeper deeper deeper deeper
higher higher higher higher
more more more more more
more
further further further
further
greater greater greater
greater
faster faster faster faster
faster
more more more more more more
faster faster faster faster
faster for not to know the horror of my thirst
..and the plant
..and the flower
that thirsted for love
shall sing
shall cry
shall convulse
and
scream
shall burst violent blind
shall wither
shall dry
shall pine shall succumb to all manner of suffering and disease
shall fall ill so ill so so ill
shall cry cry cry in incomprehensible
language shall die
and
i shall not see
or
hear
or feel I shall sadistically fail to comprehend the crying
message the sickness mesage
i shall just not know the horror of this
thirst
for i am drowned in synthetic
worlds..
escaping worlds.. supported by Freud, Bernays** and
NBC**
for i free happy man am now a
slave
surrounded by organised anaesthesia, amnesia and ritual
for to rest..
for i man am now
...a broken man.....
for not to know the horror of this
thirst "deeper, faster, higher” "deeper, faster, higher” "deeper, faster, higher” "deeper, faster, higher” "deeper, faster, higher” "deeper, faster, higher” "deeper, faster, higher” "deeper, faster, higher” "deeper, faster, higher”
more and more and more more more better stronger
more "deeper,
faster, higher” hysterical
violent more more more hurrah for me!
i shall die in synthetic peace
and i shall be quenched in synthetic
waters
and i shall smile a synthetic
smile
of gratitude
of approval
of pride and beatitude
....and i die of thirst... We all live and die in a yellow submarine unless we consciously and in love work a concerted long term strategy out
