Sometimes other people can better say exactly what you mean...
Ethics
In the evolution of political economies
Of the late 20th Century
There is an emerging pattern
In which yesterday's vitrues
Become today's vices
And vice versa
Vices virtues.
We hope this signals the demise
Of either dollar or gun manipulated
Political puppetry's
Overwhelmment of humanity.
Throughout the past state
Of innate ignorance of the many,
The informed few
Told the uninformed many
What to do
So that the many's coordinated efforts
could produce most effectively
The objectives of the few.
An omniwell-informed humanity
Does not need to be told
What needs to be done
Nor how to cooperate synergetically;
It does so spontaneously.
History demonstrates without exception
That successful soveriegn power seizers
And successfully self-perpetuating,
Supreme physical power holders in general
Will always attempt to divide the opposition
In order to conquer them
And thereafter keep the conquered divided
To keep them conquered.
Controlling the sources
Of production and distribution
The self-advantaging power systems
Keep the conquered divided
By their uncontestable fiat
That the individual's right to live
Must be earned
To the power structure's satisfaction
By performing one of the ruling system's
Myriad of specialized functions.
The top-gun, self-serving power structure
Also claims outright ownership
Of the lives of all those born
Within their soveriegnly claimed
Geographical bounds
And can forfeit their citizens' lives
In their official warfaring,
Wich of psychological necessity
Is always waged in terms
Of moral rectitude
While covertly protecting and fostering
Their special self-interests.
To keep the conquered
Controllably disintegrated
And fearfully dependent
"They" also foster perpetuation or increase
Of religious, ethnic, linguistic,
And skin-color differentiations
As obvious conditioned-reflex exploitabilities.
Special-interest sovereignity will always
Attempt to monopolize and control
All strategic information (intelligence),
Thus to keep the divided specializing world
Innocently controlled by its propoganda
And dependent exclusively upon its dictum.
Youth has discovered all this
And is countering with comprehensivity and synergy.
Youth will win overwhelmingly
For truth
Is eternally regenrative
In youth.
Youth's love
Embracingly integrates,
Successfully frustrates
And holds together,
Often unwittingly,
All that hate, fear and selfishness
Attempt to disintegrate.
-R, Buckminster Fuller
