Is There Anything We Should Be Asking?
What were we taught as children? What did they tell us? A keep out sign, a danger ahead, do not enter;
why has all this been thrown away?
What were we taught as children? What did they tell us? A keep out sign, a danger ahead, do not enter;

The people that are speculating, the people that have been encouraged to bet their homes on these long-term speculations, what happens to them when property values collapse?
AI, may one day think for itself; and if that day is ever allowed to come,
what do you think it will think of the human race?
We listen to the pundits, we hear the rhetoric, we listen to the politicians telling us to believe;
what can we really believe in this world of mirrors?
Will it be our politicians, for their encouraging us to take on these new monsters of the road; will it be the vehicle manufacturers, who have produced such vehicles for our consumption; or will it be us, the motorist, who so easily succumbed to temptation?
They tell us constantly that we need to survive, we need to grow, we need to prosper;
are we nought but their tools, their machines?
Is ‘head in the sand’ the answer? Should we be like the ostrich and bury our heads,
or should we stare at it, square in the face …?
Reactions are all about our emotions; we feel something, we sense something, we see something, we smell something;
something somehow, in one way or another, makes us react.
How close are people standing to the canvas?
How close must they be standing to not see what goes on around them?
And it begins again, and around and around we go; a variant, a strain, a something or other.
