BEYOND CYNICAL Nature is manifest in all societies, there are no exceptions, though priests and seers, philosophers, magicians and politicians of all varieties kite-fly their noble conceptions, ignoring our base careers of killing, devouring, digestion, excretion to sell us bovine belief in moral pieties, and we buy them with self-deceptions extending this "now" a few more years to glut these lusty animal appetites with super technoid power predation, suppressing by prescription any guilty fears, so fill up the fridge, turn down the lights, rev up the Rock and dance to a howl of validation, no thinking, no questions, no doubts, no tears when human desires become human rights..... Yet all must lie down and sink into dreams that suggest a non-physical existence, an opposite realm of astral glow beyond this planet of predatory schemes if trouble-weary souls have patience to learn where they need to know how streams of sentience flow.
