1.     Man separates himself from all other species, he
uses his sense of consciousness to claim righteousness and self importance
within the animal kingdom. He controls cages and consumes any species of animal
in anyway he sees fit. For pleasure power ego and exploitation. To do so he
avoids his own consciousness by learning to lie to himself, he uses all his
creations to distance himself from responsib...ility for the actions that his
conscious deems wrong. Along the way he creates right and wrong to justify his
actions and control the actions of other who might threaten him. He creates a
god in his own image to take ultimate responsibility for those things he would
rather not claim, religion is mans ultimate scapegoat. Man creates angels and
devils to guide him in an attempt to keep his lying conscious from getting him
into too much trouble, and to blame for the actions he himself can not excuse..
He seeks to control and secure his life at every turn believing he deserves more
with each new day. He works and saves to achieve more and more control over his
life, he follows trends and ideas through popular opinion, he uses the opinions
of the masses to secure his sense of righteousness. He then builds on these
ideas to further separate himself from nature and even the rest of mankind.. All
along caging himself, feeling more and more alone, feeling more and more afraid
and confused with the world around him.. Fighting wars he does not understand.
Paying taxes to a system he knows only as empire.. Breaking down all that is
around him in terms of money class control ownership laws morals rules and gods
all created and explained by his surroundings. When and if he stops to think for
himself he will realize he is responsible for his own entrapment, and the
animals he thinks he is above are free making all decisions based on personal
instinct. The only true right or wrong. A personal decision made out of basic
survival.
                                                                                                                                                                      
2.    Sometimes, reckless tribal dance is the only way to tear
out the spider's web, the ordinary movements are just not enough, but you need
to keep dancing, keep dancing, keep dancing, trusting the rhythm of your feet
and the sound of the ancient drum more then you trust your reason and feelings

3.     One day a man stopped to listen as I explained how I was
building the wall. He wanted to come inside to see what I was doing.  I
explained to him that the whole purpose of the wall was to keep people on the
other side. But I could tell he didn't understand or care. As he left I went
back to build the wall higher. I became so absorbed in my wall that I found
little time for anything else. I searched my life for new and different stones.
I found stones that I didn't even know I had.... The design
was very important to me. I would build and rebuild until it was just the way I
wanted it. Some stones were so dear to me that I polished them carefully several
times a day. Then one day I realised the wall was so high that I no longer saw
anyone go by. I no longer heard anyone. Everything was quiet. " Is anyone
there?" - I yelled.  






     4.     The Past, the
Present and the Future walked into a bar. It was tense. You listened to my
silence, you gathered something in your mind and you danced on your bare feet
with your long arms to meet me. Honestly, I'm afraid of getting seriously
involved with woman; but I told everyone I am going out with you. So you can
have another night with me.  I think I'm falling. Maybe I'm making a big
mistake...But it's time to be naked !
