Child Wrong   Nov5 2003

by bruce | Filed under Anthropy |

A lifetime ago ..

Cowering in the afterglow of nuclear fear, a child progeny of Western scientific democracy in the most egalitarian of lands keenly anticipated twenty-first century utopia.

Youthful optimism believed one more lifespan (his own) sufficient to complete the work begun when modern humans gasped in awe at the beauty of their first dawn.

Our eyes are the eyes through which the Earth finally beholds her own beauty" – Teilhard de Chardin

Well, here we are!

Despite the vast, intelligent, resilient, infinitely patient grazing herd’s signaled desire to be left alone in their noospheric quest, the planet is still servant to besuited crime lords, illiterate holy men and – worst – moral and political imbeciles: opinionated ideologues, cruel bully kids playing in the deadliest of toy shops.

Lacking a cape, and the ability to fly unaided, one can only poke fun at the weak, incapable, and morally bereft – those who rule or otherwise seek to control us.

Oh yes, and on behalf of those lacking the freedom to do so.
