No this is not meant for another brick on the wall or follower, s sheep or lemming but for those that like to think, invent,discern and create.
It's for those that appreciate art, literature, good music and classic culture and good tradition.
Human automaton, cog in the wheel, pop up and bot.
It's to have a mind of your own, to challenge, to not repeat or regurgitate.
In the old days these type of people existed but now it's even worse.
The Unknown
Citizen
W. H. Auden
- 1907-1973
(To JS/07 M
378
This Marble
Monument
Is Erected by
the State)
He was found
by the Bureau of Statistics to be
One against
whom there was no official complaint,
And all the
reports on his conduct agree
That, in the
modern sense of an old-fashioned word, he was a saint,
For in
everything he did he served the Greater Community.
Except for
the War till the day he retired
He worked in
a factory and never got fired,
But
satisfied his employers, Fudge Motors Inc.
Yet he
wasn't a scab or odd in his views,
For his
Union reports that he paid his dues,
(Our report
on his Union shows it was sound)
And our
Social Psychology workers found
That he was
popular with his mates and liked a drink.
The Press
are convinced that he bought a paper every day
And that his
reactions to advertisements were normal in every way.
Policies
taken out in his name prove that he was fully insured,
And his
Health-card shows he was once in hospital but left it cured.
Both
Producers Research and High-Grade Living declare
He was fully
sensible to the advantages of the Instalment Plan
And had
everything necessary to the Modern Man,
A
phonograph, a radio, a car and a frigidaire.
Our
researchers into Public Opinion are content
That he held
the proper opinions for the time of year;
When there
was peace, he was for peace: when there was war, he went.
He was
married and added five children to the population,
Which our
Eugenist says was the right number for a parent of his generation.
And our
teachers report that he never interfered with their education.
Was he free?
Was he happy? The question is absurd:
Had anything
been wrong, we should certainly have heard.
