Choose a clan
Nerd or jock
Red or blue
Rose or tree
Choose
Then sit back
Your decisions are made
Shout to defend them
But no more need to think
Just sink
Into the arms
Of your clan
Choose
Society

The Lies We Tell Boys
The media lies. We all know that. Sometimes, though, it is very subtle.
Like what it tells us about being a man.
Everything we see gives us the same message. The brash businessman dispensing his wisdom, the cocky chancer charming the ladies, the whisky guzzling spy or DCI. Even the greedy bankers and the corrupt politicians – who we all condemn but are still reaping their rewards.
They all tell us the same thing – to be a man and be a success – be strong, take what you want! No one will give it to you so grab it with both hands.
Far more subtly than that but that’s the message.
I have come to a different conclusion lately. To be a man, properly (and I don’t claim to be this by ay means) you have to learn to give. To give of your strength – and to keep giving when your strength has run out. Give your strength to those you care about.
When you’re in love
Nothing matters
Yes, there are annoyances
Sacrifices
Anger
Even tears
Nothing matters
Savour the moments
Bask in the sunlight of her smile
Be warmed by her touch
And keep on giving
Your strength

Welcome to the Machine!
So it seems today that our Government some other governments have quietly, secretly, without our consent or consultation sign the Trans Pacific Partnership.
One of its aims if to make it a crime to report corporate wrong doing through a computer system!
What the actual fuck!
It’s now a crime to report on a crime if it’s committed by a big company!
Welcome to the machine people! Bend over and prepare to be rogered good because there’s damn all you can do about it!
I think this just shows who rules the world now.
And it gets worse – quote from an independent article.
Others require that online content providers — such as YouTube and Facebook — must take down content if they receive just one complaint, as they are in the US. That will be harmful for startups looking to build such businesses since they’ll be required to have the resources to respond to every complaint, experts have pointed out.
So if one of those large corporations doesn’t like my rant about this then they could force WordPress to take it down!
Welcome to free speech! Enjoy it while it lasts!
Welcome to the Machine!
Poem a day challenge #332 (Golden Foundation)
Golden Foundation
By Scott Bailey © 2014
The world we live in
The very structures of our lives
Built upon gold
But gold is so soft
So who the hell
Made that decision

Market
By Scott Bailey © 2014
The free market
It pervades every part of our lives
Every fabric of our society
Why
Why did we choose
To put all the power
Into the hands of the few
Greedy individuals
Powerful because of their greed
Who’s great idea was that?

Poem a day challenge #286 (Cutting)
Cutting
By Scott Bailey © 2014
Consuming and not creating
Planning and not making
Thinking without doing
This is the path they took
Into the undergrowth of
Tape and law and greed
So now in panic
They are fighting their way out
Cutting, cutting, cutting.

Poem a day challenge #251 (All for One)
All for One
By Scott Bailey © 2014
The insane and the dim
The slow and steady
The clever and obnoxious
The bigot and the playwright
The whiner and the wino
The liar and the gambler
The killer, the explorer
The saint and the giver
The healer and the cook
The listener and the teller
The buyer and the seller
The ruler and the subject
The freeman and the slave
The lover and the loner
We need them all
Each a danger, a potential bomb
But given the right time
The right place
The right circumstance
Each can be the one to save us all
To shine
To save
So do not be so hasty
To wipe them out
