Our world is veritably
a fascinating place. Our reveries really just poke their fun at it
from different perspectives. A single word pinpoints one tiny bent
in an infinity of dispositions. A picture captures one angle of an
infinity of the slants of a kaleidoscope of scapes. A composition of
music isolates one wee moment from the infinite reverberations
pulsing our cosmos. Our supreme courts rule on the outcome of such a
myriad of possible outcomes of an evolutionary ladder of biological
and philosophical possibilities, those poor souls must wet their
knickers when they mull the perplexities. It is rumoured that even
Sarah Palin once had this fleeting moment of awe at the languor of
capitalism from amidst an astonishing variety of egalitarian vistas.
It becomes a burning
question in our fascinating world. Shall we simply let the poor
starve and the terrorists terrorize, building walls around our
neighbourhoods and countries? A few well placed bombs will frustrate
those dens of hackers, working so hard to circumvent our superiority.
And let them keep those hallucinogens to themselves, we will live in
utterly sane complacency. We can fence ourselves off from the
primordial escapades of the ignorant outlanders caught up in the
ravages of sex and killing and illegal philanthropy while we languish
in peaceful oblivion, our hand guns the ultimate tool of a harmonic
society. What a brave new version of anthropocentrism it will be!
But, but you may say,
you with your flagitious sarcasm. Those terrorists are hell bent on
destroying us, they wish to rule the earth with their thwarted
conceptualizations of utopia, and those vile drug lords care naught
for our sweet children. It is rather us who should rule the world
with our omniscient version of utopia and let their sweet children
scavenge the dumpsters for crumbs. We have every right to seduce our
malls with titillating garments so those ravishing dark eyes of
modest immigrants can peek forth and behold the sweet undulations of
freedom. We fought our wars of confederacy years ago so our whites
and blacks and native Americans could live side by side in
unmitigated harmony, and those fanatical lowlifes should have fought
their wars years ago too. So now we're just going to bomb the
bejeezus out of them all so we can have some peace and quiet on our
side of the pond.
The symphonies play on.
Tchaikovsky dissolves the curtains between east and west.
Mendelssohn crumbles the walls of division. The Archies open
barriers of trade and commerce with the Orient. All those undulating
reverberations, puissant waves transcending the background rumble of
canon fire as capitalism builds the bridge to new worlds, chow mein
topped with cherry pie for dessert. The rudiments of fine fiction
inspiring religions in a sea of multicultural plurality. The precise
legality of a single word in our courts of law empowered by the
txtspk of social media, ZOMG. Selfies epitomizing the instant
gratification of our modern Rembrandts, those masterful undulations!
Politicians carving up our earth with ever more outrageous ways to
stifle dissidence by inciting divisiveness. The proof of evolution,
this compulsion towards divagation.
But we divagate here.
We must stay on our topic by considering in closing the cake. If
have it we must then have it we will. It's not all that innocuous
for your teeth anyway. I personally propound the many tiered Tower
of Babel varieties built on those tiny pier poles so the ants can
keep climbing as they purview the pantry. What a veritably
fascinating world it is.
