Bleeding Earth Press

"O pardon me, thou bleeding
piece of earth,
That I am meek and gentle
with these butchers."
For too long have we fallen silent. As the scourge of capitalism and civilization sweeps across our planet faster and faster by the day, stripping it of all that is wild and good and replacing it with piles of corpses and the stench of death, we sit back idly, caught up in the world of the spectacle, the world of images, seduced by the fools-gold presented to us by the state to pacify us, to entrance us, and above all else, to distract us. All while the machinery of death destroys what was real and true, destroys a piece of US. NO LONGER. This is a call to stop making excuses, to stop apologizing, to no longer beg the victim for forgiveness, but to hold the perpetrator's responsible.
