Today: Don’t try this breakthrough device until you’ve read this special report

Be warned!
We have come so far that golf balls
Orbit o’er the Sea of Tranquility
Demonstrating once and for all that
Our image of the universe
Is a typically American aberration

From Valley Forge to Viet Nam to the Vale of Kashmir
Everyone knows that we Americans
Can not see the Oceans
For the trees

We seed the world with cluster bombs
And big Macs, bombing our enemies back
Into the stoneage w/out realizing
That we are 20th Century Neanderthals
Living in a 21st Century world

We claim to lead the world
But now the world dances
To Sambas played by sitars
Posted on the internet
By a Muslim woman wearing Hello Kitty glasses
Who lives outside of Kuala Lampur.

Special report? There is no special report
Wouldn’t matter if there was, cause
I can’t read anything over 420 characters

Do the Tech companies have some magical gadget?
Some high tech philosopher's stone?

Probably, probably.
They design it in Finland
Manufacture it in Taiwan
Using lithium mined from Bolivia for the batteries
Running on application code created in Bangalore
The tech companies don’t care if we know about it.

Meanwhile,
Avoid trusting in supernatural authority.
The Heavenly G-Man is no longer on our side
Our civilization has been outsourced
While we consume the $5.00 smart phone, tablet, MP3 player,
that will let us talk to Aliens from
Proxima Centauri.
