THE ROUGH GROUND – TERRY EAGLETON

McIntyre, Dependent Rational Animal

Uttering syntactically impeccable sentences at regular intervals is not exhibiting a capacity to use language…the use of language is always embedded in forms of social practice and to understand adequately what is said on particular occasions in a given language one must have some at least of the abilities of a participant in the relevant form of social practice.

Words can have powerful social implications.

SARAH – To Syrian girls

Her name was Sarah.
She was thirteen years old.
A missile exploded in her room.
What traditional pattern should I use to write this poem?
What poetic expressions should I use
to give coherence and continuity to this event?
The girl’s dead body was trapped
under cement and brick fragments.
While her home was consumed by fire.
The poets of the modern world have sung against:
Nazism, Communism, Capitalism, and dehumanization.
Their authentic and sincere voices have not ignore:
Injustice,genocide, and occupation.
The body of the girl was just a mass of burned flesh and bones.
Perhaps is the time to create new poetic expressions
to denounce the ideologies of the creators of wars.
Her name was Sarah, she was thirteen years old,
and I found no Poetry for her.

SINGULARITY IS NEAR – Ray Kurzwell

Technological Singularity

“a future period during which the pace of technological change will be so rapid, its impact so deep, that human life will be irreversible transformed. Although neither utopian nor dystopian, this epoch will transform the concepts that we rely on to give meaning to our lives, from business models to the cycle of human life, including death itself.”

JUST FOR THE PURPOSE OF ANTI-POETRY – Hector Ahumada

This anti-poem is dedicated to the ones that choose not to know.

Let’s imagine that you are the poet,
and your poem diktats are:
the meaning if life is to be happy,
if you do not experience love
the idea of g-d would not enter your mind,
and you would never perceive the real world.
Let’s imagine that there is absolute truth, meaning and reality.
That to live without meaning is to be free.
That life has not in itself a purpose,
but is a complex project not to be wasted.
That we live in an ocean of theories and hypothesis,
and false consciousness, and false memories exist.
Please stop, you are inducing nausea and vomiting in me.
Fuck, what happen to sex, drugs,
rock and roll and venereal diseases.
Let’s think that you are not the poet,
and the meaning of life is a pretzel of meaning and meaningless.
Because our interpretation sometimes are mistaken,
and nothing is right or wrong in itself.
After Auschwitz and Iraq, the world is ambiguous and human life is cheap.
Let’s not imagine any other fucking thing and just read me the anti-poem.

ANOTHER STORY – To Kylita Princess of Chocolate – Hector Ahumada

You were Born in positive harmony with Nature.
Nothing is wrong with you.
The mind and the body are all you have.
But of course, you have the right to believe
in laws and stories that explain almost everything.
Nothing is wrong with you.
The ancient Babylonian myth says, that you left the Garden
perfectly able to take care of yourself,
procreate and enjoy this project called life.
You were born among trees, flowers, fish, reptiles and insects.
Out of the will of the Unknown, from red clay, the sky and the clouds.
Nothing is wrong with you, my little Princess of Chocolate.
Your mother, father and I came from another garden
from the South of this earth, and you were already inside us.
A sacred symphony of organic chemicals
created by the sun, the moon and the sea.
Nothing is wrong with you.
And of course you have the right to believe
a different story, a different dream.
My little Princess of Chocolate you are truth.
You are a little girl suspended between your mother and the sky.
A human being, a soldier of History, a flower of belief.
You are a precious bundle of life in my here and now.
Nothing, nothing is wrong with you.
