Still performance
It took me some time to understand a process of decapitation
At first I practiced on some dummy soldiers
When I realized how to decapitate their heads, I was elated.
I took a chisel and stacked it between the back of the head and the shoulder blades.
I hit the wood with a heavy handed hummer
O O P S ………………………………….
The head was cut off
Some heads jumped about, as if they were scurried away,
All of a sudden, it was clear to me, that a sticky patch from above
was not good enough
It’s needed grooves.
I stabbed the wood with the chisel and started to dig in.
Dig in and twist.
It is much easier with a drill, but it was my choice to remain with the daily grind.
I pushed the dummy heads into the grooves,
In the meantime, deep thoughts came over me
What JUSTICE is ?
LOSE?
Bereavement ?
We have to bridge the gap between the logic and gut.
“To die for our country”? (Trumpeldor)
No, it is not glorious anymore.
Some of us understand it already.
Due to our advanced technology, some people think that actions and thoughts
Can be deleted or rewind
But it is impossible.
There has to be a round table discussion
We have to Talk, and Listen.
Being petty is utterly stupid.
BLOOD is BLOOD is BLOOD
So is DEATH
We are here in purpose to elevate and to promote our well being
We are here to LIVE.
The soil is bleeding and can not absorb anymore
