Tied to an office armchair with your shoelaces, blindfolded with a colourful set of shapes, menus and buttons, you’re silenced with a pair of headphones, as the minutes and seconds are sucked out through your fingertips.
This is not what you signed for when you took your first breath and opened your eyes to what you thought was the planet of dreams, for it all is the same now, all the same nothing that consumes your soul and drains your day until you no longer want to feel.
And those hands, the hands that once touched more than the plastic that our modern world is made of, they miss what they were made for, they miss what they were born to do, they miss the brush and the canvas, the bow and the strings, the hammer and the shovel, the pen and the notebook, the glass and the bottle shared by a coalition of futuristic carefree maniacs, a.k.a. “Friends”.
You look around and try to understand; they do know what you can do, they do know what you’re capable of, is this why you’re asked to do the things that anyone else can do? They don’t want your change, they don’t want your advice, what they want is for you to become the product, is for you to become the machine, so they can buy more plastic phones, more plastic cars, more plastic faces and plastic hearts.
But what you don’t know is what they fear, for they may own all the arms and all the bullets, all the jails, all the tanks, the TV shows, the radio waves, the space crafts and nuclear bombs, but behind it all they hide, they hide from the one weapon they fear the most, the little intelligent mobile vehicle that is you, for once you unite the mind, the tongue and the hand, a new weapon is born, a weapon that defeats all of the world’s armies combined, a weapon that transmits its spores in a form of thought, that clones itself through sound waves and ink stains, a weapon they can never spot and never stop, a weapon of flesh, a weapon of hope, a Weapon of Mass Construction.
