thirty years ago
they promised a future of peace
of peace and prosperity and freedom
then what?
then their greed and their arrogance
then serial killers of Blackrock and of Goldmann Sachs
then mass murderers of the International Monetary Fund,
burning the forests of Brazil and Canada.
drowning migrants in the Mediterranean sea.
So now we are coming out of the cool.
Thirty years ago the iron lady
said that freedom means natural selection
that we live in the jungle
in the jungle of competition
in the precarious jungle of unpaid work
in the jungle of natural selection
where only white pigs will be safe at the end.
Natural selection is the slogan of Thatcher and of Hitler
the slogan of Himmler and Emmanuel Macron.
Natural selection is everywhere:
in the killing fields of Northern Syria,
in Gaza strip in the Mediterranean Sea
where water has taken the place of ZyklonB
in the lonely suicide of those who die
because life is not life.
Thirty years ago
we entered a state of sleepwalking
We’ve been stupid enough to trust the Alzheimer’s God
stupid enough to accept the rationale of cool
but now the cool is over
the cool is over now
extinction is at hand
no reason to pretend
that everything is good.the end of cool
