Conversations In English Coffee Places

To those very young people who might have lost their way on the internet, and suddenly, as if by accident, ended up here briefly, let me say that I am so sorry that you are living now in the world as it is.

Because you have never had the experience of knowing another human being on a genuine and legitimately warm human basis. Not, not your mother, not your father, not your boyfriend/girlfriend -  not anyone.

The heart of the city is dead. All of the cities.

They used to be living things.

You have been told by your school teachers, and others, that there are 'so many cultural programs' but these are all supplied to you by governments and corporate capital. 

You have been told extensively about 'urban planning and design.' 

There's no such thing.

All the professors who proclaim about it all don't know what they're talking about, and are making noises simply from vanity.

And you have never been given the tools to understand the meanings behind the songs that your parents listened to.

The common people imagine these songs, these tunes, were anthems.

Your parents died a long time ago.

Their souls died.

Not always just coffee...

They are dead.

This is now not just a cultural desert here, but it is a desert where no life exists.

Systems exist. Bacteria exists. 

Viruses exist here.

And now you know the real reason why they exist here.

These poets were all prophets of the coming darkness.

And now the darkness has come.

And now, there are only glowies...

Maybe, if you are lucky enough to find another glowie, maybe you will survive.

The cities though, will not. And neither will their denizens.

Kate Bush may have read Hermann Hess. Probably did do.

But then of the other, and much more quietly spoken-about writers that she did read, she actually comprehended what they were writing about; what they were saying.

And you, today, might not have the necessary mind tools to comprehend.

You are illiterate. Your governments and the 'society' that raised you made you that way.

'Illiterate' doesn't mean you cannot read or write, it means you do not read or write and especially, that you cannot understand what there is which is written.

And there are many people - and there will likely be one such here - who will tell you assertively and argumentatively, what to think and how to think it.

I need but have said one name in this article, and he would rush straight in and 'argue.'

LOL

And why, is that...

Come to my coffee house, children. I am not a German forest witch and you are not Hansel and Gretel - but you are lost.

If you cannot make connections to real living other human beings, then you are lost. Are you lost?
