Insane New World

[saw]

Huxley was keen enough
primroses & landscapes
have one grave flaw, they
are gratuitous

love of nature
keeps no factories busy
love of books neither
ah, the reconditioning demons

they call but fall flat
worker bees question
the queen's authority
break out in hives

we all know the epsilons
below the bridge are really stupid
but they pose no real danger
to the alpha males

[Barry]

Been doing some reading?

Nice.

Peace,
Barry

ha, yeah Barry.....reread Brave New World this summer and it spun this related expression as I considered the shape we're in right now vis a vis Aldous Huxley's classic.....hmmmm

[Doreen Peri]

I really love this bit...

worker bees question
the queen's authority
break out in hives
