Number 113

It pains me to witness the political machine at work.
We are all dehumanized by its function.
A component in a system of semantics, images and emotions that performs under the guise of rational debate.

Those who are not bound by these constructs are marginalized with descriptions of uncivilized, evil, or undemocratic.
Ground up and consumed by its operation.
Disregarded into the fringe wastelands of society.

Expression becomes a process of self enslavement to which we become unaware of our own existence.
A process leading to humanity's eventual demise.
