what happened to the philosophers

They all drank the cool aid, no I mean the hemlock.
what I mean is either you drink one or the other
if you don't ask questions that bother the elite
like Socrates, you drink the first choice

Jack drank the whiskey
Bill shot the dope
they both wrote novels
as they say choose your poison
poet or philosopher
Nietzsche was not keen on hope

the powers that should not be
are paying Russian roulette
with a loaded revolver
the barrel is spinning

They dropped a 20 million dollar bomb this week and obliterated a mountainside or two and 20 people or so in afghanistan, all courtesy of our extorted funds, and this counts as good news. What happened to philosophers? Murdered by the noise and sold for scrap value.

if intelligent life exists in the universe
it does not seem to be on earth

artists are the sympathizers, the ones whose empathy is transformed into works that provoke a response of some kind....they feel the madness, so they write, sculpt, paint....and they often simply show the beauty...the flip-side of insanity....
If you do not change your direction
you may end up where you are heading
