Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

thanks for the cuppa coffee friend
been down on my luck since all the wars began
man it's cold out here
you know Plato warned us of this
appeal-to-emotion crap
those Greeks were pretty sharp cookies
weren't they ?.......what a weird expression
who would want to eat a razor-bladed macaroon
it escapes me......nonetheless
you know philosophers were trained in rhetoric
before dialectics, so what the fuck happened ?
Freud knew about the illusion of pure dialectic,
so how did these warnings get cast aside
with our crushed aluminum Bud cans, I mean
how were the scholars so easily seduced,
THE WAR TO END ALL WARS
THE WAR TO SAVE DEMOCRACY
THE WAR TO PROTECT US FROM ALL HARM
where were the artists, where were the journalists
where were the liberals, where were the conservatives
where did everybody go ?
Oh, listen to me running my mouth, sorry friend
I know this kinda talk is making you nervous
and I just heard your wife call from the porch
DANCING WITH THE STARS IS ON, JACK !
so I'll just be moseying down the road,
thanks again for the hot drink friend
been nice chatting with you.......

probably best if I just keep my thoughts to myself,
man it's cold out here !

What a way to reflect upon the differences of the poor, well-read beggar vs. the wealthy pretentious man who turns his head away from reality and consumes himself with reality tv.

plato's nice but dancing's better
a slam with a sure-fire winner

War
ten four
it is a slam dunk
it is a cakewalk

After one of the war's bloodiest months, our mounting military dead are more invisible than ever

Appropriate, just when WikiLeaks is trying to wean us from the circus of DWtheS and soap operas to see what's really going on. One of the best here.

thanx for all the great comments...it helps so much to know what you are thinking.......take care.......
