F8ck yoU, Welcome to Planet Me
you just landed on the most simply complex planet in the galaxy !!!…
Here on Planet Me we have two types of people. Haves and Have’nots. Dividing them in two, you will find Do’s and Do’nots.
Despite the fact that everyone on Planet Me is equally human, the most important things are the color of your skin and gender. Over about 50,000 years, cross popularization (sex) created 5 colors; White, Red, Yellow, Black and Tan. Everyone is also individually unique. Both are easily forgotten.
Zone America:
White rules, unless you have a gun, then you rule — at least for a moment. If you are white AND have a gun, then you really rule. But, this is not 100% true either. This is because whites with money really, really rule. They can hire other colors to use guns to protect them. No one knows why, but this works. Maybe it is the money, maybe the hope of a better gun. Maybe both.
Everyone plays games. A favorite game is to tell stories. The white people with a lot of money — because they really, really, really rule — make up stories that all the colors repeat until they dream of killing one another. It works really well — they do — kill one another.
Sometimes the games involve animals. Because animals don’t have or use guns, they always lose. Sometimes the games involve the planet. But, the planet can’t use a gun to protect its own interests, so it never wins either. This makes the planet very angry.
Sometimes the games involve chemicals. Better lives through chemistry is one of the stories. Many believe this, many live it, but fact refutes the story. Better life through chemistry is just not true.
All other zones have different rules based on color, but the games are invariably the same. Be careful where you go. Be careful what you do.
By now you are probably sensing a trend. For your special visit, unless you are the right color, the right gender, in the right zone, at the right time, then you are undoubtedly thinking you need a gun too. You might.
Breaking Order:
All this is relatively simple, right — No matter where you go you have people, color, gender, stories, guns and money — Ready for the real twist ? Rules create unbelievable complexity.
Originally, rules were designed to keep order, but it never worked well.
Rule making created yet another division, which cut through color, gender and money. Enter Synonyms and Antonyms. The Synonyms follow the rules, at least in public, and think everyone else should follow the rules too. To them, if you break the rules, you should get punished. If you break the rules badly, then you may get punished to death. The Antonyms are completely the opposite. They believe that if you break the rules nothing should happen, and you may even get rewarded. The size of the reward depends on how much noise one makes. The antonyms make their own rules, they do not believe in punishment, and believe that anyone can do whatever, why-ever, whenever, however, wherever they desire and choose. To make things even more complex, sometimes, behind closed doors — where no one, or not may can see — Synonyms act like Antonyms, and Antonyms act like Synonyms. It all depends on the situation. We call this duplicity.
The New Game:
As you travel, listen to all the people sing, or simply see them acting out a little song. It goes like this:
From our little tiny Planet Me — We only do what we can see — Because most everyone is feeling stuck, what you hear a lot is What The F8ck? — Duplicity makes a wicked brew, which when drunk makes all spew => F8ck the Planet, F8ck the Animals too, F8ck the People, and while you’re at it, Go F8ck yoU !!!…
As a new visitor you are encouraged NOT to sing that song. Do NOT act it out. We know that will be hard, as you will find yourself surrounded. Resist.
Everything in the future depends on your ability to resist. If you find other resistors along the way stick together, talk, invent, do. This creates change. Change creates possibility, to turn Planet Me into Planet We. It Can Be Done.
Pardon The Dust! Thank you for visiting! We hope you enjoy your stay!

- No one held a gun to my head to write this, and no one gave me any money. Not yet anyway. Sometimes we just have to follow our instincts as to why we are here. This creative work is me following my instinct. I hope you find it valuable.
