[whispers-in-silence]

A few days ago I visited the Banksy exhibition — and it's still stuck in my head. Sharp, sarcastic, painfully honest. From shredded canvases to kids standing over piles of weapons, every piece hit with uncomfortable truth. It wasn’t just art — it was a mirror, and it didn’t flatter. I left questioning more than I expected. That’s what good art does.

Viral Sacrifice

House of cards collapses

Stock market crashes

Billionaires cry

While the people die

No tears for the workers plight

Only fear losing their economic might

Corporatists manipulate policy

And the media spews the hypocrisy

Infinite money for corporate bailouts and wars

Money to feed your family, there is just no more

Free market capitalism when everything runs well

Socialism for the rich, when everything goes to hell

Sacrifice human lives to “save” the nation

When it was humans that led to it’s creation

But it’s not the nation that needs saving, just the economy

That’s the white flash that blinds you, the ugly truth of the elite’s false dichonomy

To have you think you MUST sacrifice your life or the country is doomed

The results of having lost their souls, by greed they have been consumed

The insipid poison we drank for years has done it’s job

Mad men send death threats to health experts, while claiming to love God

The madness runs so deep

Further then you or I could ever reach

People willing to die to prop up the rich

It must be a glitch

In the system 

Of the human condition

Or rather conditioned to search for easy solutions to complex problems

Still, dying for elites won’t solve them

Citizens taught to distrust facts

Present empirical data and we feel attacked

No wonder we are dying in droves

Mass graves being dug right now, you didn’t know?

You didn’t know it’s normal to want to survive?

To not value the oligarchy over your own life?

When did America the Free 

Become America the land of the Elites?

The paper thin veil lifted by COVID-19

The real America, a sorry sight to see

Your desire to keep your family safe, scoffed at and called “laziness”

The ruling class sacrificing you? 

Saintliness

Bear witness to it all

Bear witness to the curtain call

The true virus has been with us all along

Those who sit in shadow and drink our blood

They paint a beautiful picture to fool us

So we chase

So we race

Towards giving all that we are, so they can feast

So they can eat, while we trudge

Through the dead bodies of our kin, through flesh and mud

And as we look above from our toil

Look to the heavens and see the royals

Constantly singing

Foolish twisted American ideology

The real sickness was always 

A political system that submits to the oligarchy

MAD about the Trump Error by Usual Gang of Idiots

I really tried to get into this book as I'm a long term fan of the MAD cartoons and literally jumped at the opportunity of getting my hands on this ARC but sadly this did not meet my expectations. The book firstly put me off because it is very difficult to read it and enjoy it on a digital medium and in an app such as ADG, where you can't zoom in with any degree of comfort. Every time I tried to read a joke I had to spend several minutes trying to center it and then putting the page back.to its regular size just to do it again, several times. As for the content of the jokes, they are nothing different from what late night shows do every night, so for someone that already watches those, this book will not bring anything new other than the illustrations. Thank you to Net Galley for the opportunity to read this ARC.

3/10

I find inner peace in the autumn. So sad that daily life don't let me enjoy autumn as much as I could. If I just would be a person who gives 100 % fuck of other people. Sometimes I curse my high sensivity so much. It's so much exhausting to learn setting boundaries to the agony in this world, to other people, mainly to people that are close to my heart. I think my cat helps me a lot. He is intelligent, demands love, peace and silence. He shows me what is important in life. And he often brings me back down to earth. Love him so much. And sometimes I hate humanity, the society and achievement-oriented society. I'm sorry to say that. Sorry not sorry. No wonder to sicken. Good night. . . . #autumnvibes #autumncravings #innerpeace #society #socialcriticism #fckppl #badmood #thoughts #highsensitive #hsp https://www.instagram.com/p/CWRRhtyMRdM/?utm_medium=tumblr
