The Two Wings (Warning: May Contain Traces Of Hate™)

[ZenitYerkes]

I decided to write little stories regarding the two faces of the politic coin: left and right. Both are NOT my opinions; don't think I am an extreme conservative or a revolutionary anarchist; just wanted to show the extremes of our world.

Notice the word "extremes", please.

Ode to the Right

Ideas are dangerous parasites of mind, lifedrinkers, bloodsuckers. Ideas create armies, face men against each other, murder children, bring false hope. They make utopias where the death they produce is nonexistent.

No one should have ideas, nobody should think in anything else but what's present: who cares about freedom, politics, war,... when one exists? Why to reason when one can eat? Why to meditate when one can live?

Ah, but nowadays people think too much, they're saturated in ideas -those insects transform them into dead who live anguished, who wish to change what our fathers left done. Those don't live anymore: they die and wish to die for their values.

I yell at them "Imbeciles! Fools! Look what we did for you, isn't that enough? Let it stay!" However, they keep going on their mad insistence on changing the world with their ideas, their soldiers and their thirst for enemy blood. They prosecute innocents with their maces, shouting "Freedom, equality, justice!", smash the products of our work, spit on the land we stand on, demolish the past and transform it into the ruins of the present. They say they plan to build up from them, but ah! Liars, those have hands only to strangle and stab.

Don't think, let stay.

Live in the houses we built for you, pay your rent with an honest salary and a job that may dignify the rest of your miserable lives.

Don't die for your ideas, let them die first.


Ode to the Left

I look around and see injustice. I look around and see death. I look around and see how those brave men we called "liberators" and "protectors", take away from us the few things we owe, steal us by their law, riddle us with bullets and gag us to keep our mouths shut. They bring us liberties we already had without them. They measure, discriminate and classify us by our differences. They despise us, humiliate us, attack us, abuse us.

Yes -but they also fear us. I know it, I've seen that in their trembling hands whilst they made us suffer, in their terrified shaking eyes whilst they infuriated us, in their fright when we raised our fists.

They are afraid we snatch what they snatched from us before.

Time ago they came, time ago they pointed their rifles and bayonets against us, time ago their terror put end to our freedom. Time ago, we put our hands and arms at their service, we fell into the illusion of happiness produced by having what they had, buying what they offered us and eating what they left.

How much longer will this situation be kept?

We work in jobs we don't like, devote our efforts to people we haven't ever met to get something we don't need, something to escape from reality and seem happy, wearing plastic smiles.

Until we realize we wear chains, we won't be free. Until we realize we're slaves, they will have our freedom.

They say this is a fair country, but it's a facade.
They say this is a free country, but it's a delusion.

The thing about politics is that sometimes those extremes are more true than one would dare to think.

Not opinions? Because they sound like opinions.

Both 'sides' are wrong.

I believe, actually, they just take the part of reality they need to look right, and ignore everything else. It's what politics are made of: hide your weak points, emphasize your strong ones.

[Fkeu 'Awpo]

If both sides are so bad, you'd think somebody would have noticed and done something by now.
But no; all everyone does is complain.

It's all a matter of perspective. Thought you would have realized before.

Let's say I was working on just the facade, taking for granted this was a democracy.

And what a great movie. Whoa. Should watch it right now, thanks for the share

He said they weren't his opinions.

People can't lie on the Internet, right?

People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

Hmm. How about Nobody should throw stones?

My policy is: "No stone throwing regardless of housing situation."

Actually, only people in glass houses should throw stones, provided that they are trapped.
