The GuideBook

By tdf, April 29, 2008

There’s the LAW,
And then,
There’s the GUIDEBOOK.

The LAW protects us,
but also prohibits,
and regulates,
our potential to LIVE as WE choose.

Break the LAW,
and we are punished,
financially,
for lesser offences.
For more serious episodes,
of taking the LAW into our own hands,
and GETTING CAUGHT,
there is Prison.

GETTING CAUGHT.
is the operative phrase,
when it comes,
to fucking with the LAW.

The LAW is written,
It underpins our social structure.
And while in theory,
not the words,
but the Real Threat of Punishment,
deters a large number of instinctive killers,
rapists,
violent thugs,
from letting the steam from their hot blood,
metamorphosis,
from larval vital pulse,
to In The Flesh Carnage,
many of the LAWS,
decide for Us,
what we can do to OURSELVES.

Also,
The LAW,
is not ALL SEEING,
ALL PERVASIVE,
Yet…

It could,
and probably will happen…
Every action recorded,
processed,
judged,
punished…

The complete sterilization of VITALITY.

The LAW isn’t fair,
it’s judgment is not JUST,
or indifferent,
to the character,
status,
Image,
of the ACCUSED.

the GUIDEBOOK,
is not written,
or enforced,
by CCTV cameras,
by megalomaniacs in uniforms,
by pompous snobs in Wigs.

It is spoken,
as if it is a LAW.
It is enforced,
by weak minds,
by sheep,
unwilling to question the wisdom and agenda,
of the Shepherds..

‘they can have our wool,
in return,
they will look after us,
supply food,
shelter,
protect us from evil,
protect US from US’

The GUIDEBOOK tells what we are SUPPOSED to do,
with our lives,
with each other.

It isn’t spiritual,
moral,
legal.

It is a formula for a secure existence,
a notion of normality to be followed and passed on to our children…

‘WORK HARD AT SCHOOL,
COMPETE AGAINST YOUR BRETHREN,
BECAUSE WHEN YOU ARE BRANDED AN ADULT,
CHUCKED IN AT THE DEEP END,
THE WORLD WILL COMPETE WITH YOU…

DONT TALK TO STRANGERS,
THEY PROBABLY MEAN YOU HARM,
DOT GET TOO CLOSE TO ANYONE OUTSIDE YOUR AGE GROUP.
STICK WITH YOUR OWN.
HIDE YOUR FEELINGS.
TRUST NOONE’

Teach the babies DISTRUST.
Teach the babies to COMPETE.
WE make this society,
competitive and distrusting…
Heartless.
