It's a state of mind

One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all
Go ask Alice
When she's ten feet tall

And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you're going to fall
Tell'em a hookah smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call
Call Alice
When she was just small

When men on the chessboard
get up and tell you where to go
And you've just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving low
Go ask Alice
I think she'll know

When logic and proportion
Have fallen sloppy dead
And the White Knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen's off with her head
Remember what the dormouse said:
"Feed your Head
Feed your Head!"

The words of the prophet written on the subway wall

I observe and wonder on civilization around me.
Did every generation before us feel like this?
Did they also believe in that it would never be more then this?
Western world has reached saturation and it's fading or is it persisting?
It feels like we reached the equivalent of japanese society some 300 years ago, perfection within living but not with our fellow animal and humanbeings.
The food is geneticly modified to boost nutrition, transport is perfected to meet the demands of efficiancy, chair and sofas are egronomical to serve our bodies, there is ecological beer to dodge hang-overs, cars that run on electricity to minimize pollution, crops sprinkled with pesticieds to maximize harvests, computers to test everything from wine to blodpresure.
Is this the very peak of our existance? We have reached so many goals. Do we even want it more perfected?
Still our spirituality has been neglected, earth has been a launchpad instead of a sanctuary and collective conciuosness is rapidly fadeing. We teach children to roar with AK-47 and then blind them from sex. Love, peace and understanding crumbled under the presure of rasist bigot capitalist ironfist rulers.
