Ladies and gentlemen,



the world is much larger and stranger than you have been led to believe



there are extraordinary things in your everyday lives



there are hidden treasures in familiar shadows 



you have been kept shielded



shielded from the dangerous and untamable world of the actual



we hand it all to you on a plate packaged and pristine



the blandly mass-produced trinkets



the omnipresent corporate cafes



the unchallenging brainless autotuned overprocessed media that fills your screens and airwaves



we've anaesthetised you like a Huxleyan Soma



with all the aroma of neatness and control



whilst the disorder of your anarchic nature has been pounding at your soul



we can never be like you



so we reduce you to simplicity



but you have sparks of divinity



you are married to infinity



we make you fear your imperfections



but in fact they are the diamond of your being



and they will always offer unimaginable variations



you have forgotten how to dream



because we have removed it from your language



but there are things inside you that are mysterious and magical and impossible to explain



and if anything cannot be rationally explained then our machines will not compute



you are being watched, my friends



you are taxed livestock



you are numbers on our screens



and you are seeking little other than the peaceful parade of pictures on screens



the tranquil melody of corporate lullaby



this is an invitation



put down your newspapers



turn off your tvs



because there is a war being waged for your minds



and you're starting to feel scared



you're starting to forget just how free and powerful you really are



deep inside you there is a roaring fire



that is not cooled by comfort or tamed by fear



a fire that burns in all things



a fire that can drag your fellow beings out of stagnant waters



and re-imagine your world with no leader or station



no grants from rich foundations



a world that is not made of atoms but stories



a world that shifts its shape with every passing daydream that intervenes your daily routines



and the narcotic moments of creative bliss



the bizarre stomach flutterings with the lovers you kiss



the complex structures you devise



and the endless nights shooting stars into your eyes



there are trails of light in your collective dreams



there is sentience in your discarded machines



everything in this world is intoxicating



everything is on fire all the time



and you are bound only by the limits of your imagination everything else will follow



the world will follow



as above so below



a new heaven and a new earth
