ONCE UPON A TIME(that time is now.. CUT!

we decided to mock reality by staging a version artificially
Certain words were censored,edited from common speech
Cliches pass for conversation/meaning becomes a code
agreed upon by participants ,who adopt and adapt this grammar
to fit the prevailing power structure.(Auteur Theory)
If there is a god-was it Kubrick or Kurosawa?Cecil B De Mille or David Lean?
Hitler or Mussolini?Pol Pot or Stalin?What power seeks replication in period detail
only to become a disposable,dispensable commodity?
Processing such transformations creates East Berlin/Zimbabwe/Year Zero.
Reproducing them a TRIUMPH OF THE WILL/10 Days That Shook The Earth/October
Propaganda relies upon belief.It fails when satire ,comedy or poetry punctures ego balloons
to show naked Presidents,murderous politicians ,omnivorous priests.
SECOND LIFE./Brazilia/Canberra.Gated Communities.Total Institutions.
Irving Goffman meets post -modern architecture.Square in a box.Torture Cells.
Suburbia as a myth.Homes as Obedience Centers.When you watch STAR WARS/think Reagan.
Dreamed he was President"begin bombing in 10 minutes"
Thin veneer between the OFFICIAL VERSION and religious fanaticism.
Is it belief creates clones,or fear?"Truth? You can't handle the truth!"
Blue pill or red pill?They are making a movie of your life right now
Who will play you?
