News and Views

dogs passed out on the davenport and

cookies and caramel corn expand the waistline

and coffee spiked with fake-nog fuels the pen

to write on and fill the blanks within

poets have their philosophies just like the ones

who lived centuries ago such as Stirner and Bakunin

and like Chomsky and Molyneux have now

Stirner and Bakunin had only the media

of the pen and paper and the printing press

to deliver their news and views to the masses

Chomsky had the likes of

Brinkley, Buckley and Huntley

on the public airwaves

 to bring his news and views 

forth to the masses

Molyneux is on the digital frontier,

the Internet and the onslaught of

digital videography at a plebian level

allowed him to take his news and views

to the masses

of course, the old methods of pen and paper

might still be the way to do business if and

when the great electromagnetic pulse sets all

the digital clocks back to the stone age,

back to zero

yet, the analog methods are still here and

are still preferred by certain members of this

rather backward existence

some younger ones prefer typewriters and manual transmissions

and the slide rule and the abacus and the compass and

the straightedge and plethora of real graph paper

we have the concept of zero, we have indoor plumbing,

we have single-switch coffee makers and plastic toys

that are well-constructed and still viable all these

decades later

the dogs may sleep on the davenport

and the children may sleep in the playpen

and the human need to conquer the empty spaces

with pertinent and impertinent news and views

may always be at the forefront

but the time to ruminate and reflects on past

experiences and moments may be something

humankind might never get back

Author's Note

The negative flurry has passed for now hopefully. A bit more upbeat on this fine Christmas day.

~ those days, we can never go back, but atleast we can always move forward to a better future. In this piece I could see that life in the past takes a lot of effort in doing so, now a days its much more easy, much more a bit relax and technologies makes it so. It is like easy life, easy gain. Many prefer this or that, and many crave for the unnecessary. Indeed that yesterday is not as the same as today, but we do make the most of it to the fullest. Very nice piece, it is nice to have read you again mr. Ken, my friend... thanks for sharing this.
