Adam 7
Rude Awakening
September 13th 2008 13:53
Something had awakened The Compassionate Cynic from his peaceful slumber. A hollow, almost buzzing like presence was heading toward him at great speed.
Grudgingly turning to his side to determine the cause of the furor, his delicate film-like skin almost peeled right off his rigid but still brittle partially hibernating body.
Yes, it was the noise of the American Presidential Elections.
The fact that this obnoxious entity had somehow made its way into his chambers disturbed the Cynic. The next step was to find out why.
What I wasn't fully aware of was the fact that I hadn't yet consumed my daily feed. The Feed is important to me because that's how I nourish myself. I seamlessly swallow many feeds simultaneously and process them through my internal conductors so that any excrement is thoroughly sorted, put aside, and later gracefully ejected. All the yummy bits get filtered through the word-grinder, dispersed into the massive colon aggregator and finally squeezed out through the bit stream orifice for all the world to admire and appreciate.
The morsel I was about to get a taste of today was especially hard to digest. It struck me head on in the skull and as I was busy picking myself up it knocked me to the floor and beat me repeatedly around the region of my very sensitive content-rectifier.
Indeed, it was awful.
The resonance would come from all directions. The incessant, nagging buzz of hype, trite faces, false promises and general deviance; and belying it all, in the most subtle, persistent of ways was the Great Facade. Or is it the Great Farce?
Needless to say, the Most United Conglomerate is clearly going to hell in a bucket. Of course, it has been slowly spiraling downwards since the last few time-counts in which I had observed it. There has been a steady sway toward imbalance in the general region and the culmination is to be seen in the multifarious vile spectacles and charades that can be witnessed in this realm at this time and date.
The importance of the results of the upcoming Election will be negligent compared to the horrendous impact of the increasingly populist tactics employed by all parties involved, the distorted value-systems by which its members are defined and the unstoppable fallout all over the globe due to its eventual misguided, self-deluded termination.
Or there could be Hope.
After being thoroughly torn to shreds by its captivating wiles, The Compassionate Cynic destroyed the offensive projection and melded together once more as he is too often fated to do. And since the days' events had shaken him so unpleasantly he retired to his chambers once more.
What occurs during the sleep-cycle of The Compassionate Cynic is still a mystery.
