The industrial revolution has tended to produce everywhere great urban masses that seem to be increasingly careless of ethical standards.

My sense is that we're ready for another industrial revolution in this country. The great minds and innovators of Silicon Valley would come through China and say, The pipeline is full of ideas - there's personalized medicine, biotechnology, new forms to power ourselves, clean energy, etc., etc.

The Class Of 2011
i get lost in their calls,
they were so gentle in their pleas
i got swayed into a dance of the masses
i gave in
went down that tower of ivory
and told myself
from now own
there will be no more standards
nothing strict
but simply a camaraderie
a familiarity
a letting go
they shall be judged by themselves
in their own standards
and it will be too sweeping and
annihilating
at the end, it is the self and nothing more
that suffers upon its own negligence.

As the revenue of the farmer is realized in raw produce, or in the value of raw produce, he is interested, as well as the landlord, in its high exchangeable value, but a low price of produce may be compensated to him by a great additional quantity.

Samurai code no longer dominates
modern investive industrial Japan.
Lackey land lacking ethical honour
dope dollar sign displaced by Yen.

The repudiation of the primacy of understanding means the repudiation of the norms of judgment as well, and hence the abandonment of all ethical standards.

Earth Begs to Differ
the world is hotting up
to a major catastrophe
three hundred years of
deception that quality
of life has improved
industrial revolution
science revolution
mental revolution
while the earth at our
feet begs to differ
improved yes but for
how long? it screams back
choking in fumes, floods
and cancerous agony
it is surrendering
itsefl to our indifference
even the ice at the arctic
is breaking out of its
million years of quiet
to give its warning,
that when it can
no longer hold the world
together its tears
woulod inundate whole city
the amazon forest also
sings its blues, as its
green slowly stills to yellow
and brown to feed the air that
would turn its back to become
man's scariest foe

Change of life style
The revolution teaches
Change of life style
In a revolution one must
Be a Victor not martyr
In a revolution one must
Take the people with him
In a revolution there must
Be a triumphof good
Over evil.

I think the human race made a big mistake at the beginning of the industrial revolution, we leaped for the mechanical things, people need the use of their hands to feel creative.
