So long the strains, so long the trains of memory befuddled

where are you, spirits?
you who speak to me?
are you happier now, can you fit in the world
better?
If you cannot find a home, build it?
If the Nazis hate you, be proud and happy.
Phalluses of time and phalluses of space
all these structures built for the sake of immortality,
heroes made of the tension between Christianity and humanism
how long will they last
how long are their legs?
I wander the streets and I see people who cannot find a home,
At Spa Castle in NY, people trying to find places to sleep, lovers looking for places to love,
eros found and regained,
where is the eros of Protestantism and Protestant literature...
As C.S. Lewis said, Christ was higher Eros. Eros is cast out and the continual war of marketing, sales, and first moves by businesses,
wearing us out, continually reeducating us, brainwashing us while the heart of the spirit, Eros dies along with the lungs of the spirit, thanatos.
likes and dislikes of the moment, that's what matters. businesses come and businesses go, homes are bought and sold and those who get the first look at the market get all the advanatages, the damned politicians and businessman forming such strong alliances while the church gets screwed along with everyone else.
it's just the way it is now
capitalism's critic is Post-Modernism, which replaces the logic of capitalism
with the logic of existentialism...
you can only save yourself, philos is better than agathos
in agathos, you are saving mass movement which are forms of eternal recurrence while in philos, you save the Uniqueness market of Geniuses
but what about the people,
are they to suffer and destroy themselves like existentialists do out of self-hatred
measuring oneself against only prime-movers
whose strength comes from God?
OH Dear Lord, what has this world come up?
People are good and nice in general
but they seek to get away from other people
find their own families incomprehensible,
trying to find the key to meaning
which eludes the touch of human hands
but where are we going?
Do we need austerity? Yes we do,
we have been spoiled beyond belief
lost all sense of competition with Asia or Europe
lost ourselves in the uniqueness market
even without a strategy for not falling into the middle
becoming mere medicority
our arrogance has no limits
why, I don't understand,
