the current play

Each day, the world becomes
less human

 

For certain, the world is a stage

 

But you've got to know
the actors

 

To understand the play

This is why fake news is an important battleground. Who gets to decide what is true and false has the power. It truly is the age of (MIS)information.

Who gets to decide what is true and false?”

 

The money interests, of course. They own the media and the tech companies – and everything else.

 

Think of the press as a great keyboard
on which the government can play.”

Cheers to our hallowed hall

This is what Post Poems is all about, and what I adore most… Dialogue & Exchange. May it be long-lived, in this hallowed hall.

 

To everyone that’s shared, I salute you.

Well said! In this succinct

Well said! In this succinct overview of physical life, you invite us to read between the lines of the script, to look behind the curtain and dare to understand our fellow humans. When all is said and done, that's all that matters. Life-altering wisdom. 

Spinoza's picture

behind the curtain indeed

 

Even in times of antiquity, the amphitheatre was a form of social engineering. Today – we have Hollywood – The Media – Social Media – and Big Tech.

 

But who controls the plays – that get shown? The books – that get printed? The screenplays – that get made into film? The Science and The Facts and The History – that we have access to?

 

Who controls the algorithms – of your every search query? Who determines what you can see – and what you cannot see? Who holds that ultimate power behind the scene?

 

Know the answer to this, my friend… and you know too, where this whole shebang is going.

 

Benjamin Disraeli, gave us a glimpse into this 150 years ago…

 

“Governments do not govern, but merely control the machinery of government, being themselves controlled by the hidden hand.” – Benjamin Disraeli

 

"The world is governed by very different personages from what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes." – Benjamin Disraeli

 

An interesting article on the man…

If our world situation is a play, it would remind me of the play described in Poe's poem, "The Conqueror Worm."

NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM

 

Out – out are the lights – out all!

And, over each quivering form,

The curtain, a funeral pall,

Comes down with the rush of a storm

– Poe

 

Death – it comes to all of us. But it’s coming sooner than most people think.

 

Targeted extermination. That’s the next bus stop.

 

And it’s coming via death by hunger (A Global Holodomor) and various toxic interventions (Food, Water, Air, and Medicine) – to slowly grind and pulverize the human race – whom carry in their DNA, the very image of God.

 

That’s what it’s all about. Destroying the image of God – and His entire Creation.

 

And whether you speak it upon the air or not, you know it’s coming.

 

The Devil’s been busy of late – getting his pieces in place ACROSS THE GLOBE, as you’ve all witnessed with your own eyes.

 

He has assembled TODAY – the perfect cabal, to complete his Work of Ages. They stand ready, to lower the capstone in place.

 

There’s no going back to Kansas kids.

And there’s no reversing it.

All you can do, is brace.

Ah, Poe, favorite of mine:

 

"Sit in a theatre, to see

   A play of hopes and fears,
While the orchestra breathes fitfully   

   The music of the spheres."

 

The worm is our greatest overlord, indeed.

I have never really cared for Poe's poetry, but "The Conqueror Worm" has been one of my favorite poems for at least half a century or more.

It's quite a good work.

It's quite a good work. Perhaps my most particular reason for appreciation of E.A. Poe is the ability he had to tap into the darkest recesses of the human mind. He so often went past the base fears and gore that a writer could so easily score an audience with, digging down to depth that some have explored and far fewer have understood nearly so well as he did.

Sadly,

each day, indeed, it does. I think the rate of loss of humanity has been expedited not just by the events of the last 2+ years, but also with the fact that smart phones have taken over most people's lives.

the slow abomination

 

It’s a great number of things, slowly chipping away at the foundation of all things Good – of all things God.

 

It’s been going on for generations.

 

And with each generation, things advance from bad to worse.

 

Until we get to where we are now, where life in general, has become a complete abomination of what it was meant to be.
