HISTORY OF THE FUTURE

Is it all in vain to hope that we may some day all skip to a similar beat that sets the rhythm of a race accepting of difference and change? Will our new ordered world understanding fully include those on the fringe into the taken-for-granted so-called norms of our every day? Shall I live to enjoy this future I feel certain is bound to arrive eventually on the doorsteps of a generation beyond our alphabet?

Living on the edge of dark clouds that bring occasional rain is how we are seen by some. Instead of our rainbow, they only see storm clouds gathering, and with bated breath they wait and anticipate where next lightning may strike.

To say that it is right that only one type of person is entitled to certain liberties afforded to many and stolen from some, is surely the hares way to run. And soon, perhaps even sooner than you think, hard-shelled instructors of steady sure pace will one day win the seemingly failed chase. Futures full of children will change the wrongs to rights, not all at once I guess, but time will tell a new tale.

Marriage between anyone for whom it pleases will seem oh so very "normal" by then, so much so that a yawn is the only protest you may get. Will you marry for Love, maybe money or pleasure? Why not combine the three? After all, some have had centuries to work this out and look what is happening to that. Gender and sexuality will be something of which we blend and bend, shaping them to our heart and souls desire. No human fear will be leading a charge against what is finally realised as nature’s way. And the earth will still revolve around its sun, inevitably gaining heat on every new go round. And occasionally the future will take a look back as they do today, and with a beat in their hearts and relief on their brow they might say, "Wow! What a weird lot".

Book Thrower!

What makes us who we are? What joins us together to complete a sentence handed down from the book thrower that says this is your lot so stick with it. No escape from tunnels dug deep into the sediments of toiled soil long past turned to rock that's never going to avail itself to become rubble we wish was behind us. Keep digging and searching for the fools gold in pans filled with the joy that sends feet skyward and a body in fast pursuit.

If only riches were fast pertainable and many to be had by those that wish for less work for best returns and a place in history that the royalties only ancestors gain. Love me now for who I am and who you wish me to be and think not of who I sometimes appear to be. If the joy I bring is a fleeting gift, let the jester in me be the one you cherish for all mans time, and let that time last for exactly the length of the strings in the history of theory.

08.08.08 Very special day in history.

Today is as i heard from Friend that i know i can rely on as a reliable source, the luckiest day in this century and what ever you wish for will come true. I would say that you would have to keep your focus on that goal wish and remember the feelings you had today, and let them exist in a special region of your brain to be stimulated when ever you think of it. Keep yourself on the ball and remember that you are the end result of your thoughts and dreams, the dreams you wish to make real, and they will come true if you believe in them. At this time in history i am watching the opening ceremony of the Olympic games, and though i know that some have their political differences against this country, i feel we must try to see this symbolism from a global scale. It is if seen as a positive, an opportunity for change even for the issue fronts that are out of alignment for those in the opposition. The spot light on this country hosting this event will in some way i believe create an opportunity for change, brought on by the need to be the best on show and may stimulate minds to produce in future the changes that are needed. This always encourages humans to be the best they can be and in the process helps us to be better than we were. I feel it is a conscious and subconscious raising of the bar, that will eventually bring the globe slowly but surely to a future the protestants against this regime wish for us. Tibet will take it's rightful place in time, and all will eventually right itself, and Tibet will realize and own fully the dream of autonomy. I agree with some of these opposing views, and do understand that some may see this as pie in the sky wishful thinking without any proactive substance. This is my point of view and i am entitled to it. I would rather lean towards the positive and encourage minds to focus on what we do want and not what we don't want, because invariably whether you believe it or not when you focus on the negative things you are not happy with or don't want, you tend to draw more of this negative energy to you and the situation. I will say that this opening event is truly incredible and magical and i will never regret turning on and locking in to the wonder that is the human race. It was so futuristic and surreal and took me to a place that i enjoyed going in my mind, and brought me much hope that we can come together for the pursuit of excellence and encourage peace. Good or bad we will one day be as one and all barriers will fade into insignificance. It may not happen in my lifetime, but it will happen one day, and if we believe it will, it indeed will. Today i connected with Gus on a level that i won't forget, and that is between him and i, and i thank him for being the person he is and for being a part of my life. Tonight is a historical moment for me, I had a fantastic day and only realised it was that magic day around 5pm. I suddenly came to realise why i was so charged up and why certain experiences that took place during the day had happened. I am convinced it is also special for all those who believe that we can prevail and survive our long drawn out adversities against each other. I am sure that the magic that is being produced by the ancient spirits conjured by this date, will be a momentous hope and will propel the people of this little blue island to heal the wounds that we have inflicted on this planet we call earth. Thank you to my close friends and family for being a part of this wondrous date in time and history, and for being a part of my life. I am most grate full for the treasures that i have been given by knowing them, and for us sharing and being in the here and now. The best part for me is that major parts of this event were so focused on the art of writing and calligraphy, created by the earthling hand to express this beautifully fluid and evolving human condition called life. This date in history is an echo to the ancients and the futures to come and they will hear this echo for all time memoriam. xxx Banksy.

HISTORY UNSPOKEN

LOOKING AT CROWN OF MORNINGS GLORY, GUILDED WITH GOLD OF TRUTHS DENIED.
QUEEN SITS IN POSE AND THOUGHTS ARE PONDERED,
YESTERDAYS PAINTS NEARLY DRIED.

COMPLETE ME WITH HISTORY UNSPOKEN,
THE CRIMES OF HEREDITARY LINES.
HEIRS AND GRACES FORGOTTEN,
UNDOUBTEDLY YOU KNOW THE TRUTH.
SITTING IN WAIT U PRESS LEVER,
GAS LIFT IN CHAIR IS NO MORE.

YOUNGER IN YEARS THAN YOU ARE NOW,
PAINTING DEPICTS FROZEN WORLD.
WAITING TO TURN OVER NEW LEAF,
THE NEW QUEENS A BOY NOT A GIRL.

WILL HIM TO KEEP UP YOUR LIFE'S WORK,
SKIPPING THROUGH ENGAGEMENTS WITH EASE.
LIFE OF COMMITTED INTERNMENT,
UPWARD YOU MOBILIZE YOUR TROOP.
CLINGING TO HOPES OF OLD THRONE WORLD,
ANCESTORS ARE WAITING IN TREE.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN WHEN YOUR PAST HERE,
OLD QUEENS ARE REALLY JUST CHAT.

THE SON HAS MADE SO SURE OF THAT.
MISSING ONE GEN FOR ANOTHER,
YOU WISH FOR RENAISSANCE OF TIME.
AND FOREVER THEY'LL LOVE YOU FOR A LIFE OF DEVOTION,
AND FORGIVE YOURS FOR A HISTORY OF CRIME.
