HEGEMONY SHIFT WRITINGS

a Haiku by Merge Roglio


You must be out of your mind! Don't really expect us to take you seriously! After a long absence from Hegemony Shifting, for the magazine anyway, we finally got around to putting out episode 2.Don't assume that it'll be the same as the last, because that is what shifting is about: creating processes and then challenging and updating the powers that follow or lead those processes. I'm rambling. But, that Is how I break of the symbols, and languages structures that often bind me. It Is amazing how many times we fall Into the pattern of using the same words repeatedly. Some mantras can be useful, but saying cool, sweet, or fuck many times, as punctuation, or others out of the sheer laziness of a mind not wanting to search for the words with which to describe a feeling or experience, are two of the main causes of apathy and loss of the ability to commu- nicate. I guess these last two things In the last sentence are pretty much the same: an Inability to connect In a human, read organic, way. We are calling for a deeper look Into the way civilization Is moving; a remaking and re-imaging of our myths. This Is a war of Ideas and Ideologies. We have to Infect the world with a creativity virus. And as soon as we know everybody Is a least a carrier we need to spike the water with clarity juice. The time to act Is already past! Step up before you are distracted by the pretty baubles of culture and taste this new life you are feeling! The chaos that is being experienced on the planet presently is an enabler that leads to new orders and new ways of thinking. So my message is in the form as much as the content.
