I look into the blank stares and vacant smiles of my
comrades (fellow inmates) and I’m, besieged by a cloud of despair. In a long
procession of humanity we trudge single-filed to and from a concrete cafe under
the watchful eye of a shotgun carrying trigger man. The landscape is bleak;
barren brown and orange earth, with white and grey gravel stretched across the
pitch in all directions as far as the eye can see. No green, no shrubs, no
grass, no life. It looks like science fiction but it’s not. It’s a prison in
Southern Nevada and it looks like the surface of Mars.
There’s an interruption to the monotony but nothing so
pleasant as hope. No. It’s steel cages, razor wire and concrete cubby holes
with plastic slits for windows. Housing units, or better stated, storage slots
for human beings. Man, many of which will never leave this place packed away
neatly and disregarded like Christmas decorations in the summer time.
That’s why seeing the blank stares and silly smiles sicken
me. The majority of these men don’t realize how far away from reality we've
fallen. But this docile acceptance isn't by accident. This is the meticulously
designed plan and forecast fatal results of a villainous plot. A parade of
young, fit, virile but unfortunate lost men, uniformed identically to shred
away thoughts of individuality and independence, given the bare minimum of
basic necessities to survive and cowed into submission by threats of bodily
harm not excluding deadly force, which will be excused as justifiable homicide.
Sadist is an understatement. But my grief is a mere snapshot
of the problem like the white froth of a crashing wave is snapshot of the
ocean. The whole picture is miles wide on all sides and takes more ink than
this pen holds to explain. I’m just doing my Richard Engle impersonation, but
I’m not on a rooftop in Damascus. I’m incarcerated in an American prison, a car
ride away from you, but ironically suffering from the same conditions as those
he reports on so far away.
What if this is a plan? Could you in the free world be
affected too? What are the “prep-pers” getting ready for? The Netflix hit
“Orange is the New Black” is a sensation, but what is it has another purpose?
The Nazi’s called it propaganda.
The idea is to make the idea of incarceration cod or to romanticize
it so there’s less resistance when its forced down your throat . Why are there
so many “Locked Up” shows on television?
In the world, the media aggressively promotes tolerance of
“all lifestyles” to the point of ostracism for anyone that’s resistant or that
feels more comfort in a traditional relationship (heterosexual). At the same
time the youth are trained to focus on and edify the insignificant,
inconsequential, and sometime plain ignorant, through pop culture so the power
and energy of a generation is wasted in trivial pursuits.
As Phylicia Rashad so
eloquently stated at the BET awards, all throughout history 20-30 year olds
were the front line warriors that fought and demanded change. Now the voices of
young adults have been replaced with words like LOL and Emoticons.
This article is probably more truth than the masses will
have patience for which further proves my point. Our consciousness has been
worn down to vines, hash tags and acting as ridiculous as possible to catch the
cameras attention for a taste of fame. I used to think people that spoke about
the plight of humanity were crazy until I saw for myself the end game of being
asleep at the wheel.
If we’re not careful it won’t just be men being marched
across Mars. If we don’t wake up, it could be everybody.
