BECOME DEATH 03:59
BECOME DEATH ENGULFED BY WEEDS DEVOURED BY WOLVES DROWNING IN DEBRIS SCAVENGE TO SURVIVE “I AM BECOME DEATH, THE DESTROYER OF WORLDS” CITIES SUBMERGED IN BRINE FATAL PROFECY TURNED TO TRUTH HORDING WATER & FUEL WE ARE ANIMALS, NOTHING MORE “I am become death..” The arrogant, homicidal words of J. Robert Oppenheimer, father of the Atomic Bomb. As we hurtle toward an uncertain future his promise may yet be fulfilled. A destroyed world, one where our only conceivable concern will be survival.

WASTED TIME 02:08
WASTED TIME THE RATS ARE WATCHING IN THE DARK THEY’LL EAT US IN OUR SLEEP DROWNING IN OUR OWN HOMES CHOKING UP THE FILTH WASTED TIME WASTED LIVES THERE’S THOUSANDS QUEING IN THE STREETS FOR PITY AND FOR BREAD DISTRACTED IN A FATAL VOID WALKING IN A LIVING DEATH EVERY MYTH SEEMS EXPOSED THE GRIMACE IN THE SMILE SACRIFICIAL OFFERINGS TO A GOD OF POWER & WEALTH The welfare state, a thing that is slowly becoming a memory, with a far worse beast lumbering into view. The city of Dublin is a place where poverty lives in sub-standard housing, poor quality foods, and vast sectors of the city forgotten and ignored. While homeless shelters are shut down and drug programs axed, there are deaths on the streets. So too a slow death grinds on behind closed doors. Social welfare dependency. The sedation of populations. Not life, but survival, on minimum wages, which too are a thing fast becoming a memory. Unemployment, under-employment, poor health, hospitals and resource centres at breaking point. They call it austerity. A vicious ruling class crucifying the poor. Ireland 2015.

AFTER THE STORM BLOOD BLACK CLOUDS STAIN THE SKY STENCH OF DISASTER HANGS ON THE WIND LANDSCAPES OF RUIN CITIES OF ASH VAST HUMAN HIVES HOLLOW AND CHARRED AFTER THE STORM IN THE WAKE OF WAR MACHINES ROT AND RUST TOWERBLOCKS CRUSHED RIVERS RAGE FREE THROUGH STREETS LONG DEAD THE RAINS WASH AWAY THE TERRIBLE MISTAKES AND FROM HUMAN BODIES SEEDS GROW AGAIN “Whats so spooky about standing in the heart of Pripyat is not the destruction to the concrete and steel. It’s the lack of people, the silence. Over time the radionuclides will run through their half-lives, the survivors fears will fade, but this lonliness knows no cure.” -Ron Clesser/Richard Stone

IN THE EYE OF THE BUREAUCRAT ‘HUMAN IS EVERYTHING’ A COLD MACHINE, SEES ONLY SUB-HUMAN POPULATIONS HUMAN//UN-HUMAN BALLAST EXISTENCES A MANIACAL DOCTRINE DEATH APPARATUS ‘ASOCIAL ELEMENTS’ LIQUIDATED BY NUMBERS OLD AUTOCRACIES CRAVING SUSTENANCE CRAWLING BACK TO LIFE SYSTEMATIC GENOCIDE ‘Ballast existences’ was a term used by the Nazi administration to describe those deemed inferior due to mental illness. Ballast referring to excess or ‘dead weight’. It was a term rooted in the idea that a class of “Untermensh” existed. Those scheduled for the concentration camps and ultimately liquidation. This constituted a normalisation of utter mania. A formalisation of a mass sociopathic condition, manifested in a political system. This system was widely believed to be civilisation at its most developed. A homicidal frenzy, calculated to perfection. A mechanism of terror. An engine, unstoppable, reducing people to numbers, files, codes, leading only to death. How many echoes of this orchestrated dehumanisation can we hear today?
