Nemesis

The nemesis that awaits our civilization
is social insanity
which in the end is always homicidal.
Sanity means the wholeness of the consciousness.
And our society is only part conscious, like an idiot.

If we do not rapidly open all the doors of consciousness
and freshen the putrid little space in which we are cribbed
the sky-blue walls of our underventilated heaven
will be bright red with blood.

--D.H. Lawrence

Problem is, whenever anyone comes along who might possibly be able to open those doors, the parasites who view everything in terms of rich-and-famous latch on and drag us back into their personal cesspool.
