Greedy Scumbags

​We need them ..
absolute necessities of the new world order.
They rule us ..
every waking moment and more.

Ultimate information portals ..
constantly at our sides.

Addictive Sirens deceptively raping our souls ..
 masterfully mind-fucking our Creativity into blissful oblivion.

Teachers of deceit ..
tutors of falsehood.
"No, I didn't get your message" ..
"Yes, I did call last night".

False empowerment systems ..
"look at the video".
Interpretation is up for grabs .. 
let's fight about it.

We choose to ignore the truth ..
embracing technology.
Certain in our minds ..
this is advancement.

We choose to detach ..
physically checking out.
Hiding in our personal cyber worlds ..
reigning superior in our misguided minds.

I love mine .. 
little silver dictator.
I jump when it calls ..
I freak when it hides.

Ultimate disaster ..
death in the family.
Glowing LED weakened ..
a friend was departing.

Unlike death of the living ..
life can be restored.
Improved life from what was before ..
instant gratification once more.

I departed the store ..
carrying my new support mechanism.
Promise of enhanced features ..
convinced I am special again.

It will never caress ..
like grass on a summer day.
It pales beside a lovers kiss ..
warm, soft, moist.

But we need it ..
we love it.
We can't live without it ..
we won't sacrifice it.

I left eight hundred dollars in a shop today ..
being the perfectly manipulated humanoid.
Time has come when They know we need it ..
​Greedy Scumbags.

My dead friend posed on the red rug ..
life drained from years of service.
Laughing at me as I continue ..
continue being raped and mind-fucked ..

from Kauai to Paris ... and all places between

Felt these words deeply Bill. Duality - to unplug or not to unplug to unplug that is the question.

Vanessa, totally agree .. Nature or Technology .. and one is free of charge. One would think us to be wiser. And the Greedy Scumbags continue to cash in on our stupidity.

Mahalo et Merci,
Bill

So timely this story. Yesterday I left my phone at home, not on purpose; and I found it was a nice break. I knew I didn't have it so I never looked for it. I went about my morning, got home around 12:30 and the first thing I did was look at my phone. Guess what nothing, no messages, no calls. LOL!!

So true. The initial "panic" of realizing I have forgotten my phone, gives way to appreciation of being unplugged. As time goes by, I am less desirous of keeping up with the posts, the pics, the anger/incredulity of...whatever is the latest outrage. Enough already. However, on balance, sans phone I would not have connected with you, Bill! Love/hate, yin & yang, finding balance, ohmmmmy yes!

Yes, Patty, I agree with you .. it's always about the balance. Too bad the manufacturers and providers of our technologically superior communications devices don't buy into that philosophy. Knowing we all now depend on our phones as a necessary part of modern life, they have chosen greed .. pricing these things through the roof. No one will ever convince me that in 2017 the parts, labor, development, and fair profit of an IPhone warrants a price of nearly $1,000.00. But, it is the new "drug of choice" for the masses, and those Greedy Scumbags are cashing in. As I walked out of the AT&T shop with my new phone the other day, the disbelief and outrage within couldn't be shaken off .. so I wrote about it .. hey, what else can a man who writes do? And with that, I must go .. make a couple of phone calls .. LOL !! Thanks so much for your input on this one, Patty.

Mahalo et Merci,
Bill

Oh, yeah, the crazy price of an iphone...and to think of the poor Chinese people and how they work to produce them. Scumbags, indeed!
