The transparency of an old label

Vive le revolution... and don't forget to put out the cat...

The revolution had gone to sleep and had become the transparency of an old label that had come about from its long immersion in the bucket of doom and although laid-back in its non violent ways it nevertheless opposed the opposition wholeheartedly and without reservation.

Over many long years the vitriol of the opposition had become diluted and was now barely lukewarm and as such was no great force to be dealt with when it came time to beat them up.

The coal party who were once a wimpy lot had now grown so strong they could kill a thousand useless layabouts every day with just the stroke of a pen and then laugh so loud it spread over all the land so that no one was in any doubt who was doing the laughing.

They also knew how to fill their fat faces with the best food and did so at every opportunity and left bins full of waste for the landfill.

All the people looked to them as their leaders to be fair, straight and honest, but by now many knew that their leaders, and in fact all the leaders on the planet were corrupt, greedy liars and very dangerous to them and also warmongers to boot.

This state of affairs had been put into motion long before through deceit, dishonesty and the worst kind of corruption, so much so that now they were looked at as the evil ones whose stink pervaded to every corner of everyone’s existence where their control was almost absolute.

But not quite...

When the old label climbed out of the bucket of doom one day to retire he saw what had become of all the fine ideals of his time and was appalled. And so, pulling up his socks he went to work to change everything back to how it should be.

After a great fight as the figurehead of many voices of discontent he was finally cheated out of his victory by the corrupt system he was fighting and was made to kiss the ass of the enemy, jump into bed with them and hand over all his power.

The enemy laughed long and hard and was portrayed as a shining example of all that is good and glorious in a world that benefited only them where their every thought was to preserve their way of life at all costs to the detriment of anyone they could take advantage of.

Not enough could see through their facade of illusion set up to whitewash their misdeeds and show them in a favourable light so that they would be believed in and followed and voted for, and as their power-base expanded the planet shuddered in fear and all seemed hopeless under their oppression...

And then, on another planet there was...

OREGANO NUSSFUSS

Is this my argument then that I cannot say any other way but this, that I have nothing to say but must say it anyway?

“Meow.”

Is that the cat I hear?

“Oregano Nussfuss at your service sir.”

Must I appreciate every Zorro that barks at my door?

“We are happy to please.”

And now what must I do with this nitty that comes from nowhere?

“Observe it at your leisure or feed it at your pleasure of course.”

Is there no cake?

“There is cake and coffee and snakes in your mind and clouds to sail on by with. You takes your pick.”

Am I but a tourist then to be by here with such; and this lot must be my lot for all the lot it is?

“When the bill comes you will know, but until then there is the menu, and your blade to discern your share of the merry dance in the light and the darkness to endure and all that comes in between.”

I am but this, but I would be more. Tell me why it must be this way.

“Round and round you will go until you find your centre, and when you get there you must be with what you find. It is then you will know the answer to that one.”

Is it all a Zen dance then, some mystery soup to come across what I will find and finding say: “Is this it?

“You ask from a place that has endless questions. When you find the place of answers you will know for yourself. Until then you will be busy searching for what you haven’t lost.”

And what door is this that opens so?

“It is the last door and time to go home.”
